breaking news: how to counter zed

I got the best counter to Zed...

...the ban button.

Best Zed counter in the game is old Fiora, but-

cry

Its funny because you act like you know what you're talking about when you list as a counter. It doesn't do anything besides remove a slow (not even his ult), which is hardly a counter.

Most of the things you listed have the ability to stall his play or mitigate its effect, not straight up counter him. What Zed in his right mind would ult a carry that standing right next to a Skarner or Poppy? He's not Rengar. He can ult, E+Q+auto and R out before Skarner touches him if Skarner's not literally on top of his carry when Zed ults.

Tanks in general don't exactly counter Zed, outside of a reactive or . They mitigate his area of threat and engage windows on carries. Outside of that, obviously he shouldn't be going for them because they're tanks...

Someone else listed the much better option of knowing what his mechanics actually do for him, and responding based on that knowledge.

Know the timing and throw a stun behind you when he ults.

He goes behind you...that's all you need to know about countering him.... and qss...always have a qss

ok so cleanse doesnt actually cleanse zed ult. So good job, we're off to a great start

The biggest offenders on your list are flash, which is something I find hilarious you think someone with two blinks is going to be bothered by a flash, lb shaco akali, if its because they go invisible, that's by no means healthy counterplay and a stupid way to say "if I can't see them, then i cant kill them," no shit, that's how invisibility is for everyone. Vi WW Irelia Poppy Gragas J4 make no sense being up there, I can only think because they can cc while doing some damage, but its not enough for zed burst, trust me. Sol is the one that cracks me up the most, sol struggles against assassins and zed is like three assassins while he's ulting.

As for the rest, I'll give it to you that they do have ways to outplay zed, but again, no one who can actually handle him in 1v1 situation, which i find absurdly stupid

qss is kind of a crappy counter imo, it builds into mr so you're literally just building it for the active. Armor version for mages pls rito.

Zhonya's where?

Ok i have never felt zed us op, rush hourglass same vs veigar if ur ap, fuzz gets owned by all ad assasinz even if he does pole his ult, lissandra is a mych better counter , her ult is free hourglass and heal and dmg and sge has mobility too byt also hard cc, and passive makes her abit better to play vs his no mana. So yeah add lissandra to the list you dumb pleb then leave youre mothers basement <3

since when does vayne or annie or corki ever counter zed? they are all squishy with little to no cc and once zed builds a hexdrinker he no longer gets bursted by anni so there is almost nothing you can do.

auralian has a horrible time with zed. as soon as he gets in your spoopy boob boob zone and you no longer deal damage to him at meele range. your super squishy and buyin zhonyas on auralean is pretty sub par.

not listed? one of the best supports against him!

You forgot anyone with a skillshot bind, like Morg and Lux. They just fire it right behind them and boom, root.

breaking news how to counter zed as a support

-knock up disrupts entire combo shield+ult+knock up Shield+ult -ult+movement speed to get out of danger

sensing a pattern here?!

Udyr is a legit counter once Udyr has items. He can just stun Zed after Zed ults and burst him down with the tiger/phoenix.

Typically Zed wins all 1v1 match ups during laning phase. Not many Mages can legit beat him until they get Zhonya's, then that opens the floor, and gives them a chance. I think Annie is one of the few that can. Malzahar is a second without Zhonya's.

And dodging stuff. Pretty easy, and cuts his damage output down to really small levels

's winrate usually drops when he faces Zed. Sometimes it rises, but Id still say it's pretty even.

Be careful, if you defend Zed in anyway all the mage players will come after you
