I mean can the champion get at least a buff to off set the damage from duskblade and electrocute. I get that hes hated here. but the champion hasn't been meta in high elo or pro play for years. he isn't anywhere near the stronger assassins. those nerfs were just fair for other assassins but probably not zed

am not asking for his damage to be higher but just same as it was.

and let put that damage back into his skill shots so he doesn't do what he did with the duskblade and old electrocute where he didn't have to land that many Qs.

his winrate and playrate is falling every patch since the nerf. rn 49% winrate and 4.5% playrate.

Absolutely not

He is one of the most played assassins and in mid lane, has a high ban rate, and is indeed very strong. After 6 majority of mid-laners have to stand under turret, even then he'll dive you because of weak turrets and shadow back out before much damage is done. You have to 100 to 0 him quickly or he'll escape everytime as he just executed one of you're teammates.

Absolutely not.

Meddler said there is NO ROOM to buff Zed in regular play and as such will NOT be getting buffed.

The whole point of the rune nerfs was to reduce damage slightly.

Not give it back in champion kits.

"Or, to rephrase if unclear. No, no Zed buffs, even though it would be nice as a viewer to see him in Worlds."

its a good sign for skill champions to have an over all poor win rate to an extent. This is a sign they actually take skill to play.

I agree, with the nerfs I feel like I tickle until 2-3 items deep. The electrocute nerf sucked but at least it’s the same cd as W. The duskblade nerf wasn’t a massive hit but a +15-20 damage on Q would be perfect

Statement by Meddler:

Mid lane - While it would be cool to see Zed we don't have the room to buff him in regular play.

Short answer: No.
