Nerf Zed...

Its 100% ridiculous when this champion is seen every other game in a role/position where 70 other champions can play.

Im sick of seeing him, and historically and "usually" when a champion is seen such a crazy amount when theres so many other choices it means that said champion is overpowered.

Nerf Zed.

Every champion has counters. Hell I could list, hourglass stasis to counter everyone. Same with exhaust, same with zilean, and probably same with those 2 champions.

What is your point bro?

The fact remains, out of 70 possible mid champions.. this champion is being picked EVERY other game, so obviously that means theres a problem.

More likely, he's just a popular champion and you've been seeing a lot.

Also, the ambiguous other 69 "mid" champions which you list, many would not be common picks at all, so the statistic is a bit misleading.

There is nothing misleading about what im saying.

Out of 70 champions that can go mid, Zed is being picked an insane amount.

Historically speaking of this game, which ive been playing for 4 years now, the vast majority of the time a champion being picked like Zed is.. and hes not a new champion and theres a huge roster can go into his lane.. it means hes overpowered.

Champions dont get massively popular for no reason buddy. The huge vast majority of the time its because they're too strong.

haha, yeah they are not popular picks because a select few are overshadowing them, zed leading the pack.

They probably wont Nerf him due to his skill cap, and if he goes in and your team just ignores him then that's you and your teams fault

He goes in, bursts+ults, and then switches to a shadow 1000 range away.

Pick rate is a dumb reason to nerf someone who's ult (which is a big part of his burst) is pretty easy to counter.

Gorsz1 votes

No its not... theres a reason why a majority of the players are going to Zed for mid instead of 70+ other champions.

Every single known OP champion was heavily favored in picks because people want to win at all costs.

In what fucking way do you counter his ult? it essentially promises him a free kill for doing nothing at all.

My comment is over two years old holy shit why are you even posting on such an old thread? Also the meta game was much different back then and zed was pretty balanced.

You make it sound like no one on your team ever tries to CC Zed when he ults in.

zed still 100-0's anybody even with cc

Steps to counter Zed:

  1. Buy item 3157
  2. Watch him cry as his ult got wasted

Then you realize Hourglass counters almost every single ultimate in the entire game.

I believe an item should not be a counter for a champion... i mean you should be able to overplay him using your own tricks, in the case of zed he goes invulnerable, then he just runs away... I myself kill ze with ahri pretty easy, then jungler starts ganking/camping giving him some free farm, or even he goes ganking... while i can be 3 kills higher than zed, whenever he gets just 1 kill or first item, he becomes a problem due to the massive amount of dmg he gains...how do you counter the champion who is never there?

I take Fiddle against Zed and crush him. Same against Katarina.

The problem with both of these is that they snowball hard and can recover with a kill or two by simply going bot. It happens all the time, despite my chat warnings, pings, and dropping a ward for them. Solo queue makes me sad.

Nice try.

Hes #11th pick rate in the entire game out of 120 champions. Also #1 mid laner.

There are plenty of champions safe in mid yet, yet everyone is still picking zed.

Ive always played alot of zed, even when he was "trash" just because I love how his kit works together, and he is badass

really he can be relied on to not get stomped in lane? interesting i never knew that, although i usually consider zed an easy lane to play

11th pick rate in the entire game..

The real problem with Zed is that he is an assassin who also has strong wave clear.

That lets him push a lane stupidly easy, allowing for constant roam. It also lets him split push with an easy escape if necessary.

zed needs a nerf yes. people say "rush item 3157 and YES once you HAVE the item you can trade him.. except there is about a 5-10 min window AFTER he hits 6 BEFORE you can finish it where he can utterly destroy you and there isn't jack shit you can do about it. and thats assumign the VERY first item you buy is item 3157 and spend your gold on nothing else. it also donest help any of the AD mid's like talon and yasuo who cant exactly builditem 3157 .

YES item 3157 does counter him. but by the time you finish it its usually too little too late. it donesty counter him if he had 5 kills and you have zero because he destroyed you in lane before you have to gold to get it.

item 3157 ONLY counters zed if he you are even on kills.
