Idea: If Zed dies, his shuriken doesn't detonate.

Idea: remove zed from the game*[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]*

I mean in a way it does seem fair.

No. The point of the ult is to kill, whether dead or alive.

That or remove zhonyas and QSS.

Or at least not allow QSS to remove it.

Opinions?

Dueling someone where you both end up dying tends to feel fairly exciting and interesting. You fought, nothing is gained or lost, you get to look forward to another fight where you can potentially come out on top through a true display of skill.

Alternatively: hitting someone in the face with your entire kit but not getting a kill because said face-shots stopped doing damage because you died tends to feel pretty terrible and cheap. Your opponent gets a huge CS and XP lead and 1 kill, you get nothing, and then you have to play passivly for 3 minutes to get to a point where another 1v1 duel is possible. This generally sucks for mages more than assassins like Zed as well: seeing as assassin combos tend to have among the fastest cast-times, leading to a lot of slower projectiles and slower cast-times in everyone that isn't an assassin.

So for gameplay reasons: I don't see the change as an improvement.

For logic reasons: bone, fire, and steel don't loose their kill-potential just because there user kicked the bucket.

yeah but then that same guy who made sticky grenades go off after death in halo would cry himself to sleep and probably hang himself eventually. and Riot is big on anti suicide policies.

Wasting his ultimate which is already delayed and not get anything out of it?

Bias Zed haters can't even see balance anymore.
