Zed really needs buffs.

Zed is highskill cap champion and deserves a lot of time to learn how this champion actually works.He's getting nerfs since item "Duskblade" was out. His w ad is nerfed, his w q e poke's nerfed and now q dmg? He's totally usless champion now and it's so easy to counter him. In platinum+ divisions if they pick zed i know it's win for me because then i pick Kayle/Lissandra/Fizz and zed is usless.Duskblade is good item for him but not that important because Nightfall has 110 sec cdr so u dont need to build him.Nobody plays Zed anymore in high divisions and i look how's Faker going with all this Zed nerfs and he's so decent... Zed God is decent what to say... Sorry for my bad english but Riot destroyed Zed and i had to write this....[zombie-nunu-tears]

I'm a simple man. I see a Zed Buff thread, I downvote.

He really needs buffs dude...

I miss the Season 5 zed. That was tank meta and he was hard to play but he was so good at dmg, now u must hit 3qs or you cant kill opponent ....

He was a nuisance. He's already fine at where he is, especially when Riot removed the debuff cleansing on QSS making squishy AD carries harder to defend for themselves from Zed.

And I can't believe you logged into this website for the first time just to post this....

Both his pick rate and winrate are quite solid, so... no please?

TequilaZombieOct 8, 20161 votes

To add on top of that: at 100 or more games, his winrate sits at 57%. Most AD assassins sit at 55-56% (with the exception of Talon, who hits a freaking 59% winrate). And that's on Diamond.

My guess is that OP is just a bad Zed.

EDIT: OP actually has a pretty decent winrate with Zed (58%). Probably he just has over the top expectations.

Except for his playerbase.

I still see him getting 20 kills in games where Zed mains show up. He doesn't need buffs you need to play him better.

Nobody plays him? he has 10% pick ratio plat+ thats prety good.Just cause hes not pick or ban champ ,doesnt mean hes weak.

Oh my ... It's simple , he doesn't needs any buff . He's not useless . He's not weak .

He is fine like he is right now. Zeds problem is: He is either totally broken or to weak. So like balance is weakness Also the assassin rework is coming in around 2 months so just wait for that. Won't be smart to buff him now and maby makes him to strong again. Than it would be even harder to make a properly balance change in the assassin rework. So just wait for the assassin rework. Go drakthar on him it is pretty good on him and play him if he is fun. Also if you have problems with counter picks don't first pick him its like riven, only that riven is pretty strong atm

No he doesn't need a buff. I don't get why people think he's weak. Once he achieves his core items he is very strong

Your reasoning is totally absurd as well, Yes you counterpick him in lane and you can destroy his laning phase like every other champion but if Zed farms sufficiently(hence where being good at Zed comes in) you can still come out strong enough to make an impact.

Btw Fizz vs Zed sounds completely like a skill match up. Kayle is weak to Zed's poke early on due to being immobile but later on her invulnerability will save allies and herself. Lissandra's kit is designed to lock down a single target or render herself invulnerable and that generally beats all assassins or squishy targets in general.

And hey if all else fails, you can always finish item 3142 and splitpush all game despite being shutdown.

This boards hates Zed, there is no way that someone will agree with you.

deadlychuckOct 8, 20161 votes

Sure, let's buff him... after he has a complete kit overhaul

If riot can justify one on a champion like Malzahar who managed to stay in a reasonable spot for years, then surely the can do the same for a champion like zed who exists on a knife's edge of being broken or unplayable.
