Zed can't cover as much distance as fast as quinn does, if you ward you can escape him unless you're severely out of position. Also when he ults, you can CC him and/or flash out and dodge. Unless he's fed he won't be able to kill you if he doesn't land a shuriken.

Yeah i wrote that, i said that he was slower :(

As for him being stoppable....honestly? With edge of night having both a long active and low CD i find it very hard to prevent him from ulting you. Add lethality movespeed and he will catch up without fail.

As for him being outplayable...sure he will likely not kill you without landing his Q's at least early. However his ulti has around 1 min cd and flash has 5. I always find myself very scared playing against zed whenever he is meta because of how much one either needs flash or a similar ability or zhonya just to survive him.

Speaking from personal experience while playing him i found zed easier to go all in with compared to both Akali and Ahri. I miss about 1 out of 5 Q's and i find it extremely easy to land it and i don't even play zed regularly. His burst if properly done is huge and he is very forgiving too. Reason´s i dislike to play him is mainly the fact that i find him to be sort a hit or miss champion. Either you snowball and carry or you don´t and eventually lose if someone else doesn't carry but this was mainly just my biased experience.

...I might also be the sort of trigger happy type that easily got baited while playing zed, but only maybe. I do succeed with Diana after all.

Talon's roaming is gated much more than Quinn's, and ismuch more limited because it is tied to terrain. He also is not that fast so when he's running up to you he's literally RUNNING UP TO YOU.

If he ults, you'll most likely see the blades and his combo has multiple components to proc, including his slow-ass W.

Broken? Maybe. No counterplay? Talon's slow and clunky enough to have counterplay.

Quinn CC's you and one shots you while you're being displaced.

This is against a target at full health early tho? I usually poke my victims down a bit first before i go in.

With lethality Zed i personally had the "honor" of seeing one go something like R-W-E-Q and he hit 1 Q and E and i still died. This was a fair bit into the game though however i still feel like there was little i could have actually done.

And don't go bringing in what the support can do to stop him, honestly i feel it's plain stupidity to expect to be able to win 1v2 as a Assassin vs ADC+ support. If that was possible then there'd be no point in playing those two at all. Which is why i also consider this lethally rush a extremely bad state for the game.

No you are expected to play with your team and a good assassin who does that is simply terrifying.

And that is also why i consider talon more of an issue than Quinn. Quinn cannot run past an entire team and kill the backline, a single point of damage and she loses all mobility whilst talon goes invisble and pops out some second later and goes Q-W-AA and any normal mage or ADC dies instantly. Then he jumps over a wall to safety and there is little one can do to actually stop him. I had the pleasure of enduring 50 minutes of this last night. Only reason my team won was because he got greedy and died instead of ending the game whilst i and my team held out until someone on the enemy team DCed, which was far from a fair win.

But i digress, current Quinn is simply a degraded version of talon, she does indeed punish any form of bad positioning extremely hard however that she always did. Difference now is that like all the other users Quinn gains a crapton of stats very quickly from the lethality items and then shuts down people whom she wasn't meant to due to sheer stat superiority. But she is a reverse miss fortune which means that grouping early and starting teamfights counters her very well so she's far from top of the lethality users.

And if you have any doubts about this, try playing against lethality nocturne. I did and at one point his ulti alone did 650 damage. Then an passive enhanced auto+duskblade and maybe a Q did the rest of my health at the time. My ADC in that game died 14 times and 9 of them because of noc alone.

is quinn an assassin or am i high

Quinn Q is like graves smoke, it lowers you vision but if you are ontop of her already that won't save her.

Quinn's kit still counters Master Yi's. She's got heavy burst damage and she can use her E either after Yi's Q to put back distance for kiting, or to cancel out his meditate. It's a very strong kit against Yi.

She does have a knockback too.

You obviously never played Zed, you can W into your own turret as Zed before her ult actually hits, Q AA Q does work, because you'd die if you even tried to do that. Zed would chunk you before you managed to even get your mid laner to him, and he WILL have lethality, which is super broken right now.
