If you're gonna complain about a champion

At least provide some reasonable arguments. Played a game as zed today where we were losing by a landslide but I was moderately fed. The vayne on their team was pretty fed. I had duskblade and youmuus. I catch her out, ult her land shuriken, e, and an auto and ignite. She then starts complaining in all chat "WTF how did that kill me so op."

Like yeah I get it Zed is annoying to play against but he's not op. His subpar winrate also shows that. I landed my full combo on you including ignite and duskblade as an ASSASSIN on the vayne, a squishy adc. Any assassin who is not super underfed who cannot kill a carry with a full combo rotation and ignite and duskblade is in VERY bad shape. Meanwhile Irelia is out here building tanky and bursting carries like Zed and more people are still complaining about Zed lol

To be fair any adc regardless of whether Zed is fed or not will complain about Zed. Mostly because ZED LITTERLY DESTROYS ADC's, ALL OF THEM ARE SQUISHY, Since the removable Zed's Ult on QSS it's almost impossible for any ADC to really win against him. The combination of Zed is super easy to use, so I understand why people complain especially ADC's. Mages of Jg/Mid have Hourglass, Jg/Top/some supports are too tanky to be one shotted by a full combo, and you wouldn't normally ult a Support anyways. ADC's have no defense against someone like Zed. I've had games where a Zed was 0/4 and I'm 10/0 but after a couple of items later he can one shot me with a full combo. It's legit broken. But of course Irelia is broken as well. One item, then the rest is tanky, of course people will complain about it eventually, but it's just that nobody really plays Irelia and a lot of people play Zed because they think they're faker.

I agree that Zed isn't OP, but he is frustrating for the majority of the playerbase currently which is reflected in his ban rate across all elos.

But yeah, an ADC complaining about an assassin killing them after itemizing an assassin build and blowing their entire kit is a tad ridiculous. Even more so if it's a Vayne, whose only real weakness (imo) is sheer burst.

Zed isn't OP, your right, but he's so frustrating because he is so safe. That Vayne was salty and ur right.

Win rates don't show everything. Nor do pick & ban rates; but take all three together and you get a shadow of an idea of what's going on.

Well one reason why she is complaining is that he has little to no counterplay. Plus she's a squishy so of course assassins kill them quick.

Note: Do not build duskblade on Zed. It's not meant for him, it's meant for underperforming assassins like Kha. Go read the patch notes, they say it there when the new item came out. People who build it on him just makes him more OP than he should be, and just adds to all the complaining about him.

Note 2: Irelia is a fighter/tank. She's not an assassin, so that's why she builds tanky. She's killing people faster now because of her Q buffs along with the Trinity Force changes a few patches later. Just wait, she will be hit with some changes sooner than later, and she will go back to being in the middle of the pack.

Meanwhile Zed is still OP and has such a high ban rate even after his "nerfs," and will still probably be the same way until the assassin update.
