Can someone tell me why Zed's shadow can't be destroyed?

There are numerous objects champions can create in this game (Teemo shrooms, Illaoi tentacles, Shaco boxes, etc). Most of them can be destoyed, but for some reason Zed's shadow cannot. If it could be destroyed he couldn't swap places with it, and it would give him more counterplay. Also Syndra orbs should be able to be destroyed, cuz more counterplay is good.

Ardent censer will probably be nerfed soon, and so are the broken supports like Janna. We need to nerf Zed to compensate for these nerfs.

Lmao, just pick Kayle with exhaust, build Nashor's and Rageblade into Rabadon's and Void Staff and proceed to cuck his ass at every stage of the game.

same reason leblanc's distortion spot can't be destroyed. I hate zeds shadows too, but i think reducing its duration would be better, with 1sec more for each ability that you hit with the shadow, which would add counterplay.

And what is the reason her distortion can't be destroyed? Because it would actually give her counterplay? And god forbid assassins have any counterplay whatsoever.

yeah after about 1.5 years his winrate got up from 50% (50,15%) better nerf every single one of his abilities and buff tanks and janna!

Because it's a shadow, it doesn't make of any kind of material.

You're so funny. Trying to apply logic to this game.

he has some logic.

Teemo shrooms, Illaoi tentacles, Shaco boxes are physical, leblanc clone are an ilusion so you can't destroy it, same with zed.

Sorry logic doesn't apply to this game.

Neither does it apply to your argument. You're just a poor little Kayle main who literally cannot press a Q+E combo on a squishy assassin you counter, and you ought to uninstall if you don't know how to counter-play such a predictable assassin. He always spawns behind your champion, he always has to wait one second before he can switch back to his ult shadow, and he ALWAYS can be absolutely demolished by a decent ADC/Mage/Tank/Bruiser with a support. He's literally the ideal assassin in terms of healthy gameplay, and he's literally the most balanced assassin right now. Git gud. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Because it's a shadow <_< have you tried killing one? Only way to do it is with more shadows so it loses it self or more light. ooh lux buff to counter zed with her E xD.

Yea because logic totally applies in this game.

Because he completely relies on shadows to his job as the game progresses? I don't know how you can't see that making his shadows a destroy-able thing is a significant and completely unnecessary nerf...

Zed is broken trash. More counterplay required somehow.

Have you ever tried to kill a shadow? I have. You do NOT want to know what happens when you kill a shadow.

Because the ability to target Zed's shadows would give him that much more power?
