Can we ACTUALLY nerf Zed?

zeds kit is naturally broken, the only way he will ever be balanced is with a new set of abilities.

zed mains love the fluidity of his abilities, and the nature of free and ultra mobility while still maintaining kill pressure at all stages of the game. you wont ever re obtain that with new abilities and thats why zed mains will always say no to reworks

Riot: -1 AD

It is super awkward that they handle Zed so delicately compared to most other champions, especially considering how hated he is across the player base.

I feel like they're making the situation much worse and we won't see him leave the ban section for a while now.

Odd how champions like Fiddle see some resurgence in viability and are immediately nerfed the following patch and OP lane oppressive anti fun toxic garbage trash sh!t champs like Ekko and Zed go for months without seeing changes.

Do Zed mains even exist when Zed is banned 80% of the time?

: "Hey guys! I main Zed! I play him in 1 out of every 5 of my games!" : points and laughs

They just buffed him....so I'm gonna say no lol.

How to balance zed

Passive now only triggers on enemy champions and large/epic jungle monsters

Zeds abilities now deal 50% less damage to minions

Zed shadow Q will not fire until his first Q hits a target (this gives more reaction time to Shadow Q for seeing where his first Q went and knowing the direction his shadow Q will go when his Q hits a target, it also stops him from using shadow Q for a seemly long pole range because he has to his something with Q before the shadow Q will come out, aka miss his skill shot and he doesn't they the second skill shot from shadow)

Zed is now much healthier to lane and play vs while still maintaining his current playstyle without the extra training wheels of his easy last hit passive, wave clear, and easy poke

He has a 49% winrate

I think the real problem is other champions have no options to fight back against a smart Zed. I mean take Annie ( I know she's not doing amazing this season but bear with me ba dum tiss) When both hit lv 6 zed could either poke with his q his ewq or try to all in. If Zed is poking Annie has to either take the poke or dodge it and painfully try to retaliate as the zed has his minions to back behind. If Zed alls in it's a relatively free kill if annie lacks her stun. Annie alls in and Zed could w away or even all in and dodge a portion of her damage with his ult.

In summary Champions with a lot of options like , , , and need to be fought with people who know their hard counters or champions that have just as many options in combat as them.

someone made a thread here long long ago asking to nerf riven, he said the same, Riot is just a bunch of riven mains

and still riven's shield scales off ad

i hate riven as much as i hate zed

This is a failure to understand power, attempting to put the cart before the horse. That is also why most revolutionaries are clueless failures.
