Zed is going to be buffed

TheVoidBringer··105 votes·6,615 views

Remember when Sejuani was nerfed for her interaction with cinderhulk? Or swain for his good use of Deathfire touch? And then the elements responsible for their nerfs were destroyed, so both were made unviable? Well, same is going to be done with zed except the other way around.

Please Riot, since you buffed zed for the lack of ad assassin items, revert the buff when assassin dagger hits live or he will wreck soloQ.

A wagon isn't big enough to carry all these feels.

It is a good thing no one will complain about Talon . Though if Zed truly becomes popular... Talon stands no chance vs the upgraded version of himself.

Talon still wins the game just don't feed zed in laning phase and you win.

Yes he's better in team fights, but zed will outfarm you, can harass you, won't have mana issues, and outduels you at lv 6(likely). As long as he plays safe at lv 3 and doesn't walk up to you and let you get your WEaa+Q combo.

Yep his laning is better. That's why you just gotta wait and not feed him. He cant really kill you once you both hit 6 because you have stealth and a much faster rotation. Even if he engages you can either blink away or just stealth. Once lategame rolls around you just kinda win unless someone handed him a ton of kills because that faster burst matters and well zed has to actually hit skillshots where you just gonna aoe things. Even if you have to be passive as hell in lane it's better to be passive and not die. Also build mercurials if he got fed. Enjoy that kill if he ever ults you.

Basically, skill matchup. But Zed is more favored in this meta than Talon is.

There won't be any soloQ by the time this item comes out.

cry me a river, l2p skill champs like Zed LeeSin Thresh or suck it up ;)

Riot likes champions who have high skill cap and offer counterplay. Don't want to get damaged by Zed? Sidestep his shurikens, or are you too bad? Don't want to get hooked by thresh? side step it, or do you suck? Don't want to get rekt by Lee? side step his Q! Funny how only low elo bad players hate on high skill cap champs like the three I named.

Funny how popular they are at worlds. Would the pros be so bad at dodging?

These champions who need skill should be the most popular and strongest champions. I'd rather face these champs than toxic cancer champs with point and click faceroll like Xin'Zhao, Lissandra etc.

Noam Braumsky10 votes

Those champs both have 1 point-and-click spell as I understand.

VendettaX48 votes

i think auto attacking counts as point and click too which is what xin mostly does

Jari14 votes

Well Zed auto's too. Hell, his passive works from that. So I guess Zed has 3 point and click (I'm counting his E because you don't aim that.)

I don't see how zed takes more skill then xin'zhao. Zed doesn't have to manage any resources just spams all day can sit in lane all game. Has free bonus overloaded damage in his passive some stupid reason. Has a point in click gap closer that does crazy damage and is a escape all in one move. I'd rather face xin'zhao any day and any game cause at least he can't dodge the fuck around and has to be in my face to do damage unlike zed. I also have more ways to play around him in general and if he has low resources its easy to force a fight unlike zed who just stays there never worrying about a damn thing. If anything xin takes more skill to play at high levels then zed takes cause xin has to risk himself to do anything unlike zed and has to worry about which fights to take because you only get so many spell rotations unlike zed.

GeorgeKnightRT1 votes

Not to mention you can do some plays with xin's ult that require skill and experience.

President Tuan1 votes

Zed most certainly must manage his resources, may not be as painful as mana ... but, I constantly find myself out of energy after throwing out W>E>Q. I wouldn't say 'takes more skill' than Xin, its more along the lines of shadow mechanics and champion positioning. Xin can't blink in and out of fights, he just dashes in, basics, and knocks you up. This makes Zed a little more difficult to manage if you will. I do believe that Zed will be pretty overpowered once assassins dagger hits live, considering they buffed his W a few patches back. I love playing zed, but hate playing against him as an AD main -__-

Zed also out ranges EVERY champion's basic spell poke with one exception:

Varus

Zed has been trash for a year. Low elo cry babies who play point and click overtuned bullshit champions who are impossible to screw up on have the nerve to complain about Zed when he hasn't been good in a year. This board needs to be cleansed.

I'll sidestep Zed's ult, Lee's ult, and Thresh's ult while I'm at it thanks for the advice.

Good job getting into leesin range

Cöld24 votes

Lee has two dashes, I hardly think it's possible to avoid his 'range' the entire match.

RyzeRework3 votes

You mean the q that you can dodge and the ward hop that's not even 500 range? Or something like that?. Leesin has 2 situational dashes its not like riven or nidalee he has to land his skills

HighH112 votes

That's kinda over simplifying it. Hard to avoid a champion an entire match unless he afk's or dces. He's bound to hit Q eventually even if it's not you like a minion or jungle mob and he'll eventually have flash up

RyzeRework1 votes

Over simplifying it is saying he has 2 dashes which isn't true because dashes are used freely but lee sins q and w arent

HighH11 votes

no oversimplified because you're saying because of those draw backs people should be able to be outside his range infinitely

RyzeRework1 votes

Im saying that his dashes are situational you cant use them freely and his q is slow easy to dodge or juke and if he uses w he's not ganna get close to you. Whoever think lee can dash whenever he wants shouldn't be posting about him but should be playing him instead

Actually xPeke1 votes

You need to calm your titties. We can both understand it's not possible to dodge every fucking skill in the game. Not to mention a decent Lee can play mindgames with you to hit his Q.

RyzeRework1 votes

That being said its only a dash if he can hit it and his w dash is situational to that's my point lee sin doesn't have 2 dashes he can freely use

Actually xPeke1 votes

It's still a dash, doesn't matter if you hit or not. It's a dash regardless. Sure, it's situational.

But a Situational Dash is still a Dash.

RyzeRework2 votes

Yes but saying he has 2 dashes is incorrect because that's sugar coating what it is. LeBlanc has 2 dashes and 2 situational blinks riven has 4 dashes calling it what it is and sugar coating to make it sound simpler doesn't mean your right

RyzeRework1 votes

both of them are situational he doesnt just have 2 dashes its okay if u dont want to argue with me u cant just call something its not

its funny how zed mains are incredibly toxic and cocky . you play a op champ, shut the fck up and try be humble for once in your shitty life : zed needs a nerf thats all

DillyDallyGhosT6 votes

Zed has been good for one patch. ONE PATCH. You hooligans are already hive minding over this. Meanwhile Swain has been broken for YEARS and been at a 55% winrate for the last 8 months until a patch ago and you guys dont bat an eye then? lets be truthful here, both Sej and Swain are just as unfun to play against as Zed but the difference is that Sej and Swain are impossible to screw up on.

This board needs to be gutted and destroyed. The fact riot takes any of these low elo irrational hivemind posts seriously is a sign of this games demise. You're all hooligans. Animals.

Nixzilla16 votes

If you think you cant fuck up on Swain and Sej then I implore you to go play them and come back.

RyzeRework2 votes

Right because after 6 sej doesn't havr an easy to land almost instant full team stun aoe massive slow and swain doesn't have massive sustain a damanage amplifier an annoying slow and a long ass root so u can watch ur hp bar drain

Nixzilla10 votes

A easy to land instant full team stun would be Annie the queen of WTFBOOM. The thing about Sej's ult is that it catches on the first person hit so if you have your tank placed slightly ahead of the group he will block the rest of the team getting stunned. Its only when everyone is tightly grouped up that it stuns everyone.

Ternt3 votes

Highest played Mid laner vs tier 3 jungler, I wonder why they don't care. They focus on what we play, but with Sejuani being played 2.3% and Zed 15%+, it's really no contest who would get more attention. Nobody plays or cares about Swain, Sejuani or Mordekaiser. Pick new mains.
