Riot, the only significant 6.11 Zed nerf was his resistance to getting banned

C'mon, a tiny reduction to Q damage at extremely long range in exchange for buffing it to 1.5 times as much damage with 2 hits?(which is very easy in many instances). That's a buff to an already near-permanenned champ. I'm honestly starting to pity Zed mains because they wait like 10 minutes in queue to never get to play their champ.

This is like when your big "fix" to vayne was changing her AD by 3 and saying "we got it guy, trust us.

Yea that change isn't going to do anything at all honestly. Sure for the Zeds that sit back and do nothing but throw 1 shuriken it'll do something but any decent Zed that can land 2+ shuirkens is technically getting buffed with this change. I don't care what people's stance on Zed is (like if you think he's balanced, or OP or anything) but a champion that has the highest ban rate...by quite a lot probably isn't the right person to be buffing or making even more annoying to face.

I think they should of tried out those Ult changes as well. I think the changes was something that was taking Zed in the right direction and was an actual nerf that might of taken his ban rate down a bit. But the changes we are getting in patch 6.11 isn't going to do anything but further increase his ban rate.

A buff that requires him to use his only escape... Which was the point. He has to sacrifice his blink to do more damage, lowering his safety.

1 of his two blinks. Oh wait, he also has a slow. It goes great with his high base movement speed of 345

Yup, I ban Zed every game and if already banned, I ban Ziggs. We need more champs that start with "z"

But his winrate actually fell.

Ofc it did. Now that he's banned less all the zed mains can play him again, but because he's been permabanned for like 2 or 3 months, they all suck

I strongly doubt that's what happened. Zed's winrate has been continuing to fall since the patch came out, by your hypothesis the winrate should be moving up as players get used to playing Zed again.

It'll start rising
