Zed's counter play is the equivalent of cutting off my legs for charity

Zed is a real problem, that if he's not banned he roflstomps your entire team by placing shadow on you, Ring, and if he misses just flash next to you, ignite and your dead. You can only escape by flashing and even then he still does an assload of damage to you forcing you to back. Even worse is when he's playing with ekko, and vayne, who are also the sweatiest champs in the game. It's basically this way because the balance team does not care at all about you. There's not a mistake when you design a character that way. They seriously despise their player base to continue to this extreme.

Zed can use ult 3 times before your item 3157's cd ends btw.

Zed feels like the one of the most fair assassins to play against imo. Compare him to the likes of rengar or diana who can kill you in 0.2 seconds with undodgable abilities.

Zed appears behind the person he ults. Use that knowledge to cc him when he becomes targetable again. Theres always basic positioning as well, since zed doesnt have stealth you can pretty easily position to avoid him.

If he's fed enough to kill you without using Q's then he's SO fed he deserves to win, as you made a ton of mistakes that lead to that point

Let me see: You're palying Vel'Koz support, you pick TP as your summoner spell, not only you didn't bought item 3191 , you sat on a item 2420 that you didn't even use once. You ended the game Lv13 while Zed ended Lv18. You know what? People like you should be banned from Boards. Babyrage about one champion after getting smashed by him should not be tolerated, and the worst is that your argumentation is beyond stupid.

There is actually plenty of counterplay to Zed. On first back buy item 3191 or its components aswell as take summoner 21. Yeah you are removing some of your own damage potential but Zed can only ever do anything while ahead. Stop him from getting ahead and its ggez for you. The same players who complain about too much damage are at fault for not building defensive, ofc everyone oneshots players when fed, SO DONT FEED. Also the "too much damage" thing seems to be a normals and low elo problem. You only ever see a team of Fiora Evelynn Zed Vayne Lux work in normals and low elo. Against a good comp with competent players they will get stomped.

Laugh's in item 1029

Cloth armor is 300 gold for 15 armor

Serrated dirk is 225 gold for 10 lethality which around level 6 or first back is only 7 armor pen. He spent 32 gold per armor reduction and you spent 20 gold per armor.

just hit him with your moves.

Are you even building double ring(either double doran or doran +seal+corr) into seekers and tabi as first items? Or you mindlessly go into lost chapter because you can't farm without spells?

Are you using barrier/TP to have lane presence?

Are you going into armor from runes?

So for some matchup this is true. Its one of LOLs big problems is counter pick can mean we lost the game ONLY because of that.

Now as for Zed (and a bunch of other melee midlaners) I counter him with RekSai mid. She is really good in lane vs him.

Now you still need a team for late game as Reksai falls off REALLY bad (Riot needs to buff her late game)

Oh and careful the Mods will delete this because you are talking negatively about a gameplay thing in gameplay
