Zed will be incredibly broken with the qss nerf. 100% pick/ban

Since qss will no longer debuff cleanse things like zed ult, what is an adcarry supposed to do?

Die every time zed has his ult up for free? Get ulted, he misses all of his abilities, autos twice then I die with no counterplay whatsoever?

Zed will literally be 100% pick/ban without a doubt. And when he's in the game, he'll get to kill the adc for free with no counterplay every single time his ult is up.

Edit: Does everyone just come on boards to circlejerk and downvote everything they possibly can? No wonder league is the most toxic community in the gaming world by far. The community is incapable of discussing things, and they're only able to mass circlejerk or disagree with op. Pretty sickening tbh, that not a single member of the community can think for themselves.

Continue on sheeple, downvote my post, go on. Just remember this when everyone is on boards bitching for zed nerfs next patch. Claiming he's the best champ in the game. 60% winrate 100%pick/ban incoming.

If there's no answer, (ADCs opting for GA instead or something) then yes, he'll be way stronger than he is now. It'll still depend on how much he offers in lane and team fights compared to others, though. Despite Zed's strong points he wasn't pick or ban at all times since release.

With the mage update, some of them could offer more in team fights / lane or counter him to the point of picking him being a big handicap

Some people just don't have time or don't know how to elaborate. Most people will just click upvote or downvote to show if they agree and move on. It doesn't make anyone "sheeple".

Relly on teamwork, Barrier, Heal-baits, Exhaust, Flash, healing, shielding, supports, positioning... Doing everything beyond counter-building your opponent, basically.

ADC's often completely lack the capacity to counter-build there opponents to begin with, so recieving a change where they can't become a super-tank and win by out-tanking an opposing Zed shouldn't be much of a hurdle for any halfway decent marksman player to adapt to. Marksman stay alive long enough to do their job chiefly through range and mobility, not through defense.

And when he's in the game, he'll get to kill the adc for free with no counterplay every single time his ult is up.

I don't think you know what counterplay means.

Zed is more or less doing the same thing that ALL assassins can do to squishy targets: quickly move in, be difficult to target, deal massive damage to one target, and then have a relatively safe exit with minimal damage.

Zed is no different than Talon, Rengar, Kha'zix, Fizz, Leblanc, and others. I don't think the QSS changes significantly alters Zed or how to play against him. It just means that the ADC will need more attention from the support or any other champions on the team that can give the ADC shields, health, or any other type of survival buff. QSS should NOT be an item that saves an ADC from an assassin when the ADC is alone. I think removing the debuff component of QSS is also healthy for champions like trundle and fiora, whose kits were highly dependent on those debuffs.

I just view it as unfired since chosen such as Malabar and warwick self cc during their ult, but can be cleansed off despite having higher cd/lower damage
