Why is he considered difficult with all that 'mobility' again?

You played Zed in a 16 minute Nexus blitz game against an obviously inferior team. I wouldn't say that's an accurate depiction of how he plays out in normal games.

It's not that he's hard IMO. It's that his basic combo can kill you, which is why he can be considered easy. For example. Zed runs after you after activating item 3142. He starts R, Then E,Q auto attack, presses R again to go back to the spot he ulted from to get away. And throw in w if he needed. That most of the time will get him a kill. Another one I see is him throwing his clone at you, switching places, and getting a kill with just e auto attack q. That IMO is also easy.

For some reason players have a habit of basing skill on how easy it is for a champ to kill you. Which is just a logical fallacy because then most tanks would be considered difficult to play right?

Same goes for Leblanc. Usually q w e ignite is enough to get you a kill and players will say she's easy because of how easy it is to get a kill on her. But the reality is that there's so much more that you can do with her kit.

Also players have a habit of basing skill on champions that have skill shots for some reason, which is false because then you'd have to admit that Velkoz is like the hardest champ to play in the game.

Actual skill relies on knowing your match up and knowing how to play against your match up effectively. Take two simple(and by simple I mean a kit that can be learned in one or two games) champs like Garen and Teemo. The matchup is already in the favor ofTeemo and the Garen player has to figure out how to win the matchup.

From what I've seen, skilled players will die like 1-5 times a game depending on the length, while having like 4 times that amount in kills and assists. I'll respect a Zed players skills if he's 20/4/5. But if he's 20/18/12, then he's just not playing well IMO.

This is one of the dumbest statements I have heard in my life its like you can say the same thing about any yas or kha or almost any champion with mobility since it means nothing since mobility has nothing to do with difficulty and having more mobility most of the time means the champion has a higher skill ceiliing.
