Can we get a real explanation for this Zed nerf?

Other than, 'he needs counterplay'. Last time i checked he has more counterplay than pretty much every other assassin in the game.

Zed is NOT dominating or even frequently picked in competitive play Zed is NOT dominating solo queue Zed does NOT have an extremely high ban rate

Meanwhile Leblanc, a champion with significantly less counterplay, with a higher ban rate, and that dominates competitive play goes does not get nerfed?

Can you please explain why Leblanc can literally have no counterplay whatsoever and go unchanged, but Zed a champion who already has counterplay needs more?

Seems to me the reasoning behind your balance changes is extremely inconsistent.

Because he did all of his damage in a second. It was ridiculous to have a champ that could tower dive you as soon as they hit six and be untargetable while doing damage, then getting off an entire ability combo (and ignite) in a split second and retreating while MAYBE taking a small amount of damage from the targeted champ and/or the tower while waiting for death mark to pop. Tower diving is one thing, having safety while doing so is another.

Not even fizz or leblanc are that frustrating, and they're awful in their own right.
