I hate this fucking champion. I can't win against him unless I play something dumb like 
. It's stupid that his ult is up every duel and he gets to one shot any kind of squishy champion ever. I can never have fun against Zed, it's not allowed.
Nameless Voice3 votesWelcome to the Morton's Fork that is playing against Zed.
You build mana, you have no defences and so he can kill you easily. You build armour, you have no mana and can't deal with his waveclear (which leads you to being behind and probably dying while OOM.)
MudintheWater2 votesWell zed tends to suck in teamfights at least. I can't tell you how many times I've been outfarmed, outpoked, and outkilled in lane only to come back and win because zed got cced and blown up in the teamfight.

That's probably the only downside to zed. I hate champions that are a guaranteed win in every duel. 
ImSoFull2 votesUmm... Leblanc should beat him unless he's more skilled, and if that's the case. He deserved to win. Fizz does well. Talon does well. Annie does well. Ahri goes into the same category as leblanc. Lux does pretty well now. Malzhar shits on him. Lissandra shouldn't die once to him. Yasuo can also win that matchup. You literally rush zhonyas and you counter his whole kit.

His kit =/= his ult
Sure, I can attempt to use Zhonyas to prevent from getting one shot.
It's a shame that his sky high AD ratios can kill you with a basic W E Q combo.

But it can't? You an't even 1shot an adc lategame with w-e-q... Not to mention Zed 1shot you, he has to poke you down like Ahri in order to kill you.
Dio ßrando2 votesAzir's double soldier damage is reduced, which is reasonable. But apparently having a mimic'd shadow that copies your abilities, dealing full damage, is very reasonable too.

There your done beating Zed. You're playing an ap champ? 
Don't get caught and your team will be able to help one

QSS doesn't stop him from doing a fuck-ton of damage in less than two seconds.

Annie Leblanc Viktor Azir Brand Talon Rengar Lux Fizz Diana all do the same thing. Not to mention they don't get completely countered by qss or zhonyas. Oh yeah, most of them out burst Zed.

Except all of them besides Fizz and Talon (I Think) don't have an ability that makes them completely untargetable and removes them from the game.
