These Zed buffs are not enough and here is why

  1. Death Mark damage increase on early level wasn't needed, Death Mark late game is still irrelevant, Death Mark still hard countered by summoner 3 item 3157 item 3140 , not to mention that all recent champs released counter Death Mark: Bard TahmKench Ekko Kindred .

  2. The 0.5 sec delay on Death Mark = Zed can't team fight.

  3. The Attack Speed nerf = Zed can't split push, outshined by other splitpushers (Tryndamere Jax ) and with the new "home guards for everyone" splitpushing as a whole is not that effective.

  4. His W is still slow and clunky, this small buff to its missle speed is still not enough. 2500 missle speed was a lot smoother, at least it should be 2000, not 1750 like it is now.

Zed will keep his very low win rate and keep on sucking, that special "AD assassin item" you are working on has to be really well designed and strong to make Zed viable and not garbage like he is now.

If you buffed his Attack Speed back to what it was and made the R delay 0 sec, I promise you his win rate would still be below 50%, Zed his entire kit and playstyle is no longer viable in todays game, Season 2-3 was a complete different game than it is today.

two out of those four champs that you mentioned that counter his death mark you shouldn't even consider death-marking them and one of them is questionable. Zed should always be viable his damage alone isn't what makes him a great assassin it's his mobility and as far as skill shots go just adjust aim accordingly at the same time considering his missile speed. It's a slight buff it should be good for him in competitive play.
