Daily reminder that this is more balanced than building a single Banner.

Hasn't even touched his ultimate. No time to react. Totally balanced. Can't complain.

Dont worry, they took the feedback and they're gonna fix it at 8.14 giving more damage to Domination runes (Not joking)

There's no connection between those two things. Try again.

So you agreed that it's balanced then?

Of course there is. The connection is that they are both items; that's pretty clear and he's using it as a lead-in for the discussion he wants to have.

Well with no context other than you being jumped by an assassin as a squishy yes it is.

he looked full build with that 400 ad, you face checked into him in a spot that was heavily warded so you should have spotted him or he snuck all the way from top lane, he hit everything and got a item 3147 proc. So yes this is reasonable. Having BoC turning Summoner's Rift into a game of Command and Conquer wasn't healthy at all.

100-0 a squishy in half a second while gap closing while only using basic spells is not something healthy, at all, you could argue if he had like 10~20 kill lead but zed does that shit while being 0-0 with a single item nowdays.

Its pure damage creep.

I will not deny that it's been damage creeped, but it should be expected at this point in time with how long we've been experiencing it, it should get toned down. However, since there's basically nothing shown except the stats of the 2 champions, the zed could have been 10-20 and 0. I was attempting to point out that complaining that something is strong/op/weak/whatever without giving any more context of the situation deserves little to no sympathy from me or anybody else.

As a nocturne, i could not 1v1 a zed that was; item 3147 item 3142 item 1001 vs my item 1400 item 3006 item 3057 despite me hitting my Q, getting off my hail of blades, getting my fear off, spell shielding his E, and using my ultimate to jump him.

All zed did was ult me before he was feared, cutting the fear duration to nothing, basic'd, and then double shadowed away.

Sounds like you misplayed. You essentially wasted your e and didn't w his ult. I guess it's because he's op, though. Lol.

... I used my W to stop his E from slowing me, gespacho.
I used my E to fear him; however, because of mobility > CC, he was able to render my E useless.

But if you still dont understand let me break it down for you;

Zed is attacking a tower.
Nocturne ults.
Nocturne Qs, Ws, Es, basic attacks three times, procs dusk blade, procs sheen.
Zed ults Just as hes feared and basics, procing duskblade.
Zed shadows away.
Nocturne chases zed down because shadow path.
Zed W shadows away and throws a Q.
Nocturn gets popped by zed ult.

Nocturne did everything and still died to the zed who landed one ability and hit with one basic attack. There wasnt much misplay going on. I SHOULD have won - But i didnt, because zed mobility and damage'amp.

Sounds like you misplayed. Nocturne didn't shield Zed ulti. Zed's one of the most ult reliant champs in the game. Nocturne has the option to negate it completely, but opted to stop a slow instead. You also cut your e duration short because you used it before he ulted.

What you should have done is W the ulti, then E him when he lands from it. Now you've blocked any of his ulti damage, and he'll be feared if he chooses to fight you without ult. If you had played properly, you would have won, or he might have escaped - you wouldn't have died. If you want to insist you played it right and claim, like most of the boards, "Zed is op, no counterplay!!1!", that's okay. If you want to win the next noct/zed duel, play it properly.

The only reason they removed Banner was because it didn't directly benefit their LCS shit.

However, Assassins, like Zed, just so happens to have some of these so-called "flashy plays" I've been hearing so much about, and they're apparently very popular when it comes to LCS.

Stop balancing your game around Pro play god damn it.

the Anarchit3chtJul 7, 20181 votes

They aren't even balancing it around pro play so much as it is around flashy lcs plays. Similar, but not the same. They would change something to allow flashier plays as opposed to more strategical ones.

RexxieeJul 7, 20182 votes

I remember when zed actually needed his ult to kill ppl.

Now its just single basic rotation as soon as he completes a single item, dont even get me started with talon who can literally 100-0 with ult with 2 long swords worth of ad at lvl 6.
