I am ready for a Zed rework (former zed main)
I use to love Zed so much when I first join this game in season 4, i was never god tier at him, but I would have random bronze friends make requests for me to play Zed just so they could watch. I was the Zed player in my group of friends, and they respected me for him. However I completely stopped playing him in season five, than played him abit more in season 6 for a short ammount of time.
That being said, after playing him for 2 and a half seasons, I am fully ready for a Zed rework and here is why.
1-I'm sick of never being able to play him when tanks are meta (which is normally for about half to 75 percent of the season)
When we are in a legit tank meta, Zed falls off, and he falls off hard. The reason for this, is because Zed sucks at killing tanks, his job is to assasinate the squishies, or to split push and win one v one duels. However when tanks are meta, the tanks will do a good job protecting the adc, making it impossible for zed to reach the adc, While the tanks also prove to be very challenging champions to turret dive, which removes his split push element.
Look at Ahri for example, even in metas where she is not amazing in, you can still play her and pull her off, same can be said for Thresh or Maoki, or even Brand. These are well rounded champions that never become "unplayable" because of the meta.
Zed to put it short, is simply to Meta reliant. He is reliant on which items are OP at the time, he is reliant on which champions are op at the time, he is reliable on which strats are op at the time. He simply looks for these windows, and if they aren't met, it is a terrible idea to play him.
2- I'm sick of him being banned every game whenever he is somewhat viable
Idk how you fix this one, but it's the mirror to the first one, whenever Zed is viable with a 50-51 percent win rate, he will get banned, so you can't even practice him. Zed is a hard champion to play that requires polishing. How can you practice a fucking champion when it's banned every game.
3-I am tired of going full try hard, to land all three of my abilities in a perfect triangle to assasinate the target, while all Talons needs to do is press R and all his abilities are guarenteed to land.
Legit though, the only difference between Talon and Zed, is that Talon has better team fight with his AOE while Zed has better split push with his superior autos. I am tired of going full try hard, when I could just play talon and do the same thing Zed does with 1/4th the work and stress. This isn't me being a better talon player vs my zed, this is Talon being legitimately easier to pull off, to accomplish the same job. To put it simple Zeds ultimate is unreliable and counterable vs the other AD assasins like Talon or Yasuo, whom have very easy conditions to pull off their ultimates while doing loads of damage.
4-If I become fed I become impossible to stop, so to make it hard to get fed, Riot makes my damage very low.
Compare a ahri q to a zed q. chances are the ahri q did more damage, while being far easier to land. Compare it to a brand W, compare it to a Victor Q, compare it to an yasuo q. Zed has challenging abilities to land, with very small reward. I know this is intenional to make my all in when i have my 6 less threatning, But if I land 3 zed qs in a row, just to have that still be less than being hit by a single brand W, than that is pretty unfair.
So those are the lists on why i'm ready for a zed rework.
THE TLDR
1-Unplayable when tanks are meta 2-Perma banned to the point you can't even practice him when he is viable, not even meta, just viable. 3-Many champions can do his job far more reliably for half the work 4-The nerfs that are done to him, in fear of his snow balling, because of his current kit.
Note- I am aware other champions need it far more than Zed, I am simply admitting to the fact if Zed was to get chosen for a rework, I would not be salty in the slightest.
