Why does Zed's escape get 2 second reset for enemy's hit with E when Evelynn only gets 1 second?

Zed's E, Shadow Slash, reduces his Shadow's cooldown by 2 seconds for enemys hit when Eve's abilities are only reduced by 1. And don't say that it's because Eve has lower cooldowns cause Zed's slash has a 4 second cooldown (2.4 seconds with maxed CDR) and his escape is better. Everybody takes flash and nobody takes ghost. Zed's Shadow is a flash 2.0 and Eve's W is a ghost 2.0.

Also Zed can slow his pursuers immediately then slow them more as they get close. Eve can slow them once every minute.

Eve gets that reduction no matter what spell hits enemy champions. Due to how her Q and E work she can't miss them so she can get 3 seconds reduction guaranteed if she reaches a target and if Q/ult somehow hits more than one person it just gives her more so heck assuming 2 people get hit with Q/R and one with E that's 6 whole seconds! Yeah it's not great :|

While the CD reduction really doesn't matter due to the reset it's still there for whatever random league things happen that would make it optimal. Without living shadow up zed does have a short range on this skill. Also zed only slows if he hits you with both the shadow and himself.

At the end of the day it's just another one of those balance team things where I feel they just picked a number and said eve gets this many seconds. It should be more than one imo. Heck I would make it 2 or 3 so it feels like it matters more.

And for Zed it's 6 seconds guaranteed off his escape every 2.4 seconds, if it's also a 3v1.

I'm still not understanding why her E only reduces 1 second off the W, even though it's 2 hits for 2 procs of her passive. (Like her old W passive gave)
