Zed laning phase

FéliXXX·10/28/2018, 6:27:07 AM·7 votes·1,986 views

Believe it or not zed laning phase is bad the champ is not fun to play anymore and his early/midgame feels so bad when its suposed to be good nowdays your w is your only way to trade mostluckly bcos your q does no dmg after hitting something, your e is for utility and it does so little dmg and you are a melee champion btw its your only way to scape as well. In this meta is so important to help your jungle/fight for mid priority and you cant do that on zed cos his rly high cds in comparation with similar champs like LB you can only farm and stay behind the champ will still have a lot of issues like having low AS having no base dmg (after the assassin update) having an ez countereable ult being too predictible because of your r snapback delay and being forced to use lethality which does bad against armor atm (at least till u get 4 items eventough that makes no sence cos ur midgame will be so bad and you are suposed to fall in late game) but at least lower the w cool down from 22 to 18 like it use to be this way the champ will feel better. idk if the champ is that good in low elo but maybe lowering the w range but making it faster will reduce the issue. thanks for reading it ( if you wont do it at least change the interaction''balance is weakness'' for ''balance team is weakness'' cos it feels like you hate him)

1.) Zed has 0 penetration available early game anymore. Sudden barely counts since Zed can't even utilize it unless all inning. So armguard is ridiculously effective now and Zed has literally no response to it.

Season 4 & 5: Zed had 19 armor pen from runes + 6% from Devastating Strikes + 10 from brutalizer totaling to 29 | 6%

29 | 6% vs. 45 Armor.

Season 7: Zed had 30 Lethality from runes + masteries and 10 from item 3134

40 Lethality vs. 45 Armor.

Season 8: 10 Lethality from item 3134 and that's it

10 Lethality (7 Armor Pen around the time Zed gets it) vs. 45 Armor.

With early pen deleted and Seeker's having it's price lowered and being 152% efficient it is beyond broken. Nerf it or bring early pen back.

2.) His attack speed is completely butchered from the nerf in season 5 at the time it was completely justified but since then item 3142 lost 40% Attack Speed and item 3153 lost 15% & isn't even rushed anymore or built that often. Riot gave him a little bit of it back but it's still abysmal.

3.) Resolve is retarded.

If these were fixed mainly #1 his laning would be good again

Zed lane isn't weak , his Q does decent damage for a spammable ability And his W E Q combo is enough to take 50% of your enemy's hp , not to forget you can reactivate W and auto the enemy

However it's risky, preferable not to do it till you get a Dirk After getting it , you will do around 70%+ of your enemy's hp and with an auto you , that time you will force them out of lane However if you activate W again and land an auto with passive then ignite with another auto , it's a kill

Or you're expecting to kill from w e q from level 3?

Zed might suffer in early levels depending on how you play him , but he is absolutely a monster in lane after his first recall , of course he has his counters , but Zed is a situational champion , you shouldn't pick him in every situation " which a lot of Zed mains don't wanna understand "

actually i can't tell you how many times I've died to zed because he engages with ult and still gets the kill. The champ is a zero skill floor champ.
