Playing Zed against this team

Vayne (no one bought pinks or used them against her) Leona Nautilus Gragas Syndra .

Our team was Zed Illaoi Lucian Janna MasterYi .Team not only didn't group but blamed me for losing fights because I couldn't get on Vayne and didn't have the time to prep a pink mid fight. Let's not forget me "getting caught" while they grouped then left me 1v5 to go farm jungle (I'm serious 2 went bot jungle and 2 went top jungle) and I'm sitting there trying to waveclear and not get caught for 15s+ against 5 people and "it's my fault".

Zed may be strong right now, but I am not at fault for you not knowing: 1) how to pick comps (janna + illaoi is terrible synergy), 2) leaving someone to solo hold a team, 3) not buying the counter play to a champ that is carrying, 4) that their entire comp was made to counter me.

But anyways about Zed, I think really he just needs his passive AD ratio lowered a little and he can be in a decent spot. The new item didn't really him and is seeing a lot better use on pretty much everything except assassin's. Even the Vayne had one.

Yes this isn't a whole defending Zed being OP/strong thread, but this just shows that with coordination you can make Zed's life hell. The enemy team was more than likely a pre-made which put me at a huge disadvantage as being solo.

FIRST PROBLEM: No magic damage... The tanks were able to build straight armor. SECOND PROBLEM: No good initiators... Your team couldn't start a good teamfight even if you wanted to. THIRD PROBLEM: Only one tank... Against a Vayne, you want to have at least 2 tanks: 1 to get eaten by Vayne, and 1 to tank for the team after Vayne dies killing the first tank.

Having multiple assassins isn't very useful as it takes up a space that can be used for a teamfighter. Yi and Zed exist to specifically kill target fed carry and run away. Just because Leona, Nautilus, and Gragas are tanks doesn't mean they can't tear you to shreds. They all have a lot of CC and will sustain you down because they don't have to build MR and therefore can build either enough armor that no matter how much armor pen you build, you can't do much to them... OR they start building Liandry's and tearing you apart.
