rito, whether or not you think Zed is too strong or not
I can guarantee you that buffing his double hit Q damage will not lower his ban rate.
So, why do it?

The reason they are buffing his double Q damage is to NERF his single Q damage so Zed cant just keep spamming single Qs for quite a bit of damage all laning phase. Basically they are putting much more pressure on Zed to land both Qs when he Ws thus making his windows of damage/poke more predictable and easier to punish. Also, despite what you might think, landing both Qs is rather difficult (especially after the W Q "bug fix" that made it so his W did not mimic his Q immediately). Also, after the cd nerf to his W making it a rather high 22 SECONDS at rank 1 (which it stays at til hes lvl 13 as he maxes it third ty vm) this makes Zeds shuriken damage much more spread out and severely punishes Zed for not landing both Qs since he can only get a W out every 22 GODDAMN SECONDS early game.
TL;DR Zeds changes are making it so much more of his poke comes from his W Q combo and not just throwing his single Qs all lane, thus making it both more predictable for opponents to see coming and easier for them to punish him if he misses his Qs.
