No idea why this is downvoted? Just seems like salty Zed mains are coming out.

Not many I know of. He needs to be deleted from the game, in my opinion.

This is a good list. I would add Lissandra as well because her kit is just a big "fuck you" to zed

nm1010Aug 10, 20172 votes

Yeah there are definitely others if you don't like the ones I listed

Vladimir Lulu Ekko Talon are a few more natural counters.

I've seen a few champions that can handle him if they play well too.

I love playing Cass and hitting him with Miasma when you know he is about to ulti

Lmao Kayle should not be on this list. I swear, Kayles overestimate their own abilities just because it's a Zed vs Kayle matchup. They think they can towerdive me just because I'm low and they have R. Then I Q, walk away as turret fucks them up, and ggez I get fed @ 10 minutes in. This has happened about 5 times with two different Kayles (once top and once mid). They disrespect the turret, and pay for it. summoner 14

I mean I kind of have to assume both players aren't retarded when giving advice.

item 3157 does wonders against him. Also taking barrier helps tons.

HeresyHorusAug 10, 20171 votes

once he gets a few items he will use his Ult not for damage but just to gap close, juke skills and have an extra shadow for Q and E.

item 3157 is good against him for a limited time only.

tell me how it gonna save u from a Zed with this build item 3147 item 3031 item 3812 item 3036 item 3156 item 3814 who doesnt need his ult damage at all to 1 shot u ?

Do you know how much gold that build requires...? Now to actually survive it I would suggest a mix of health + zhonyas, something like item 3165 item 3157 item 3047 item 3151 item 3135 item 3089 is a very generic mid lane build that is very tanky to Zed while doing high damage.

Do you know how much gold that build requires...?

Nearly as much as a Mage with item 3089 item 3285 item 3135 item 3151 item 3165 item 3157 ( a meager 200 gold more ) but u will vastly outscale the Mage at both damage ( Burst + DpS ) and defense.

And as for ur generic build, Zed can pretty much not upgrade item 3035 item 3155 and still get the rest of that build for a 950 gold less than ur build ( pretty neat amount isnt it ? ) thanks to how good both said components are.

here goes away both ur tankiness ( item 3031 item 3814 item 3147 item 3035 ) and ur damage ( item 3155 item 3812 + antimage rune combo ) for 950 less gold build on Zed , and he will finish it way before u finish ur item 3089 for that 950 gold deference.

dont try to convince me that Mages itemizations are good.

Well first off it is 600 gold more. Secondly you are acting like a mage has to 1v1 Zed to win the game, my build is highly survivable vs Zed while having solid damage for teamfights. Maybe that is why you have such a hard time vs Zed? You want to fight him too much when he is an intended 1v1 champion... Just group with your team and the game goes a lot easier.

######P.S. Quick calculations actually indicate my build is capable of coming very close to one combo'ing Zed with your build depending on the champion. Obviously death's dance would delay that, but it is worth mentioning since my build is 2700 gold cheaper than yours and he can't lifesteal off a zhonyas'd champion.

If its late game and you know zed is full build you should never be in a position to 1v1 him as any major mid laner save a few hyper carries or assassins. Stick with your team, stay with your supp and tanks or whomever else.

See ... so where are the wonders item 3157 does against Zed u spoke of earlier ?

When zed says "HAHAHA" you push 2 (when you bind it to 2) and then Zed gets depressed

Ahri is pretty good into him. Its a skill matchup tho so you need to be good with her. But if you are then its not bad.

GrenadeslashAug 11, 20171 votes

Anivia mid, Lulu support and stick as a team. then it's gg for zed :)

anything that is safe and/or has invulnerability is great against him

Ziggs and lux are great safe picks against him (Zigss disengages with W, lux has Q and shield). You have to play like a puss and rush zhonias after a mana item, but both aare really good safe picks.

Now for champions with invulnerabilities or CC to lock him down you have malz, kayle, akali, fizz, azir, lissandra and ekko. This champions require to have more skill to play against Zed because of their ranges (the safest one is lissandra) and timing to dodge Zed abilities, but they are great
