  • Enter Champ Select

  • "Mid Zed Only, Ban Liss or AFK"

  • Team already has an AD top, low CC, and poor waveclear, picks Zed anyway because Zed'sOP.png

  • Probably feed like a mofo, but let's just imagine he actually won lane because honestly it doesn't matter what the hell most Zeds go in lane

  • Enemy team starts grouping for objectives with their AP Mage

  • Zed ults random scrubs looking for a gib

  • Enemy team isn't retarded item 3401 item 3222 item 3140 item 3157 Orianna Leona Thresh

  • Zed ends up doing 0 damage

  • Zed escapes the fight using cool jukes, leaving team to get rekt because he actually didn't do shyt. Zed starts raging 'omg useless team I won lane'

  • Nooblord Tryndamere Nasus top says "just waveclear, I'll split push"

  • "Wat's waveclear?" - Zed

  • Nooblord Tryndamere Nasus afk farm top, enemy Team group pushes with AP Mage with Blue leading the push and laying down long range harass.

  • Zed pulls desperation engages to hold tower, baits team into 4v5, everyone dies because Zed didn't do shyt again and loses inhib

  • "yo wtf I told you guys to hold the towers" - Nasus

For a bad Zed, this happens, for a good Zed, eh.

Zed's problem is he's too safe. Unless you can lock him down for nearly two seconds, he's likely going to escape. Many champs have the CC to lock him down, but not the burst, and vice versa.

Mikael's Crucible doesn't dispel Zed ult.

Aside from that, basically my experience playing Zed. I'm too bad at him.

I did see good Zeds that initiated 1v3 and killed 3 all by himself, so I think it's more like Rumble - Zed's only as good as the player.

Haven't we been over this?

"The people who play X champion at my ELO are bad!" is not an argument that X champion is balanced or underpowered.

Yeah I gotta be honest, I worry way more about champs with solid AP AOE damage (Ori, Liss) than I do about Zed. Gives the enemy team a wider spread of damage, real CC, and easier time negating the enemy team's defensive builds.

This is exactly what happens when you have a Zed on your team. Thee's a small chance he'll snowball and get super far ahead. But if he doesn't get super far ahead and destroy the early game so his team carries the late. He's completely useless, which is most games with a Zed.

I don't think he's a problem in competitive play. In solo q I ban him so he's not on my team.
