Incredible nonsense, no logic, disgusting grammar and spelling and unjustified complaints.

Love it +1

Quality Thread...doubt Riot can still refuse to nerf Zed after reading this.

I get that you are being sarcastic, but the real Zed complaints aren't all unjustified.

The "just don't feed him" argument doesn't work when you are talking about a champion that is statistically in the top 5 for average kills per game. Zed also has the highest average gold income of all assassins due to his easy farming. Preventing him from getting fed enough to scale up with items is a lot harder than pretty much any other champion in the game.

Whenever play rate increases, win rate will typically decrease due to inexperienced players playing the champion. Zed has both a top tier win rate and popularity. Zed has an easy skill floor (48% winrate for brand new players) and a very high skill cap (57% winrate at 125+ games played); other champions (Shen as an example) are often nerfed for having similar winrates for highly experienced (125+ games) players.

Zed just has too many strengths. Below are some rankings comparing him to the other primary assassins competing for the mid lane role. Zed is in the top 3 for 8/9 statistics, especially important being skill cap, assassination safety, gold earned, popularity, and damage dealt. Honestly, Zed should either give up some of his easy farming or some of his assassination safety, because outperforming most other assassins in both makes him far too reliable.

Popularity (Pick + Ban): Yasuo > Zed > Fizz > Leblanc > Diana > Kassadin > Ekko > Katarina > Talon > Akali > Kennen

Overall Win Rate: Talon > Zed > Diana > Fizz > Katarina > Kennen > Kassadin > Akali > Leblanc > Ekko > Yasuo

Skill Cap (Win Rate at 125+ Game Experience): Fizz > Zed > Leblanc > Katarina > Talon > Diana > Akali > Kassadin > Yasuo > Kennen > Ekko

Skill Floor (Win Rate at 1-5 Game Experience): Kennen > Talon > Zed > Diana > Fizz > Ekko > Kassadin > Leblanc > Katarina > Yasuo > Akali

Gold Earned: Zed > Talon > Diana > Yasuo > Katarina > Fizz > Akali > Ekko > Leblanc > Kassadin > Kennen

CS (Minions + Monsters KIlled): Yasuo > Zed > Diana > Talon > Katarina > Ekko > Kassadin > Kennen > Leblanc > Fizz > Akali

Champions KIlled: Akali > Fizz > Talon > Katarina > Zed > Leblanc > Diana > Kassadin > Ekko > Yasuo > Kennen

Assassination Safety (Champion KIlls Divided by Deaths): Leblanc > Fizz > Zed > Kassadin > Katarina > Talon > Akali > Diana > Ekko > Kennen > Yasuo

Damage Dealt: Talon > Zed > Katarina > Kennen > Diana > Kassadin > Leblanc > Ekko > Fizz > Akali > Yasuo

I came here expecting another poorly-written QQ thread, I was so pleasantly surprised to see this well-thought and elegant post with logical points and interesting suggestions. 5/7 would read again.

What's sad is people wouldn't catch the joke if he had even eased up a tiny bit on his spelling mistakes.

StickyDice1/4/2016, 11:21:25 AM1 votes

Imo he is pretty balanced now and even nerfed because people don't know the meaning of a godamn assassin nowedays let's be honest guys he has to have a tremendous burst damage so he can at least kill the adc without problems. If you take that opportunity away from him you take the meaning of assassins away.
