@riot revert zed 5.22 change/clarification on the change pls?

I'm no high ELO player but zed was the first champion I really got into when I started playing January earlier this year.

I hear you labeled this change as a "bug-fix" but tbh I really think NOW zed feels bugged. This change sounded small when I read about it on PBE but now playing with it feels horrible.

For the most part if i want to harass in lane i never used the instant w-q. Normally you get close enough to throw W so that you can immediately E to slow your target and set your Q up.

But the problems I run into are the little outplays I used to be able to do with the WQW-AA coming out of R or brush/flashing wall into brush to WQW-AA on to a different squishy target before they react. etc. In situations where pre 5.22 i might have lived with the skin of my teeth, or at least taken out a champion with me, a lot of times that 2nd Q will miss due to me not calculating the delayed cast time in addition with the cast time of myself and I find myself looking at the gray screen confused about why the premier "appear from the shadow in ur face with blades" type assassin is having trouble keeping a grip on his blades.

Idk maybe I'll get used to it, especially with the little range buff possibly coming to his W. Though I really don't think buffing zed is necessary. I really think the 5.22 change was unnecessary and for me takes away from the high speed in your face flashiness of his kit.

If by chance a rioter does read this and reply. Id just at least like a better explanation of why you changed zed's WQ because I never found this combo oppressive.

I mean you could definitely still bait zed into harassing with the WQ as a range champ by staying out of range of his w first of all, and learn to read when he wants to harass and just sidestep like blitz/thresh hook. If zeds Q was a nuke/cc I could see how this mechanic would be a problem, however until you build a decent amount of AD you're Q isn't going to do a whole lot of damage on it's own.

What I'm saying is even if Zed can instantly Q you from 800 range or so you're able to take a lot of Qs in lane before it starts to matter. Where as champions like Ahri, Elise, Xerath, Brand can really punish you hard at lvl 3 from just ONE skill shot. Not only that but every time he uses his W to poke in lane he is now vulnerable to ganks and will also make it harder on himself to cs against any ranged champion.
