@Riot Are we seriously going to go another patch without a real zed nerf?

I think it's been 2 patches and now about to be our 3rd patch since QSS nerf while zed is finally getting a nerf this patch which is pure CRAP. He gets compensated? and worst of all it's only a small nerf to his Q a super SMALL nerf. When are we going to really see this actually nerf so I don't need to waste a ban on this 83% ban rate champion?

Like dear Fk Riot how do the player base send a message to you if you don't understand why Zed has a ban rate of up to 80%?

Nerf? Hell they buffed him last time.

Where are you seeing an 80% win rate? I agree he does need larger nerfs but I don't see any 80% win rate.

....Read again? Where did I say he has a 80% winrate? It says over 80% BAN RATE.

I think poeple heavily underestimate the nerf to his Q.

not ONLY are they nerfing his Q's base damage, but also it's scaling. Overall, it's damage is dropping by a dramatic amount. The damage the Q now does around 30% less to enemies after the first target, with 2 Qs doing about 10-15% more. With a MAJOR buff to those who manage to land 3 Qs. the initial impact of Q does around 20% at level 1, and will do overall maybe 15% less damage late game. Overall, that's a huge nerf to his harass, poke, and farming. However, his all in, is more potent.

In Essence, the changes, make his all in and engages better, but his laning phase more bearable.

It's the classic Riot "nerf" that really isn't a nerf at all. If you hit both of your shuriken, you are actually doing more damage, which most players can do pretty consistently.

yeah, but it does mean that zoning Zed off of a minion wave (Not pushing it to tower) is more effective because Zed has a harder time last hitting. Even if zed hits you with a single Q, it'll do less. Overall, Zed is much less frustrating in lane.

....I'd rather have him do 15/20 more damage to me rather then get 75% damage from a 2nd shuriken....

except here's the thing. it's not just that it's a .1 Bonus AD ratio removed as well

Here's the live damage from 2 Qs landing if you have 0 armor - 342.5 + 1.5 Bonus AD Here's the PBE changes for 2 Qs landing if you have 0 Armor - 367.5 + 1.58 bonus AD

overall only a 25 +.08 bonus AD buff. That's MINISCULE.

In all Actuality, This is actually a reallocation of power rather than a nerf/buff.

TO a single target hit by a single Q, then there's a sizable nerf, especially if you stay behind minions. Overall, Zed's less frustrating in lane, more potent in dives. IF HE LANDS HIS Qs
