i pick

i chunk them for 20% of their hp on one good q.

then i murder them repeatedly over and over and over until 10 minutes when im 6/0. then i hope to god they surrender before they realize i drop off super hard when i go glass cannon.

they usually surrender due to tilts and rageeee

So when Zed ults as you charge your Q, shadows away, hits you with a triple Q and e, slaps on an ignite, your glass cannon ass will go 6/0?

like he's going to be able to survive until level 6. and if he does, it's only by letting me free farm. by then i'll have a item 3078 , and will just murder him before he has a chance to pop his ult or very quickly after.

he's not 100-0 me as darius as soon as he hits 6, and he's definitely gonna be dead many times before 6 unless he plays super passively.

he can afford to just last hit with Shuriken, allow your Q to push, last hit under tower, hit 6 with minimal loss of farm then gank side lanes.

he can, but i can do the same thing while he's being a pansy and last hitting at tower. zed's really too squishy to do anything to darius until he's 1 or 2 items away from full build unless he's super fed.

you can't roam as efficiently as Zed due to much lower mobility and lower burst.

Zed doesn't have to win lane to win game here. He never has to engage you 1v1 at all.

Then you don't understand Zed and what he does. You will get fucked if you rush a Tri Force.

yep every zed player in the game understands zed and what he does, which is why they're all god tier faker level zeds am i right? no. this is for an occasional matchup just to hard counter a squishy melee assassin. shut up please.

You don't counter Zed like that, period. You won't force him off of your creeps, his poke is vastly superior, he can simply dodge a huge part of your kit any time he pleases, he can simply escape any time you pull him in. It's all so simple.

Not this "Oh hurr hurr, like he'll be able to last till 6. Huff huff, I'm Darius. I beat squishy into ground, rawr." Learn what the champions do please before trying to offer your input. One win vs Zed doesn't constitute a consistent strategy. Better hope for a gank.

it's not one win, you condescending prick.

its just an unconventional pick that i found to work against melee range assassins in midlane.

we get it zed's kit is overloaded and if he's a pro he'll never have to come near me. but guess what? 90% of the playerbase is gold or lower. you don't see that many pro zeds in that bracket bub

Melee range is not something Zed's kit is though. His auto attack is, but like Darius he has a kit built to win lane. The difference is that Darius will win if he can keep Zed in melee range the whole time, but when comparing the kits together, Zed has plenty of ways to escape and dodge significant chunks of damage.

This is talking about rushing a triforce anyways. Darius would have the upper hand on Zed if he built tankier as he can still sustain and output big numbers while significantly reducing Zed's. But beating Zed is never a matter of trying to out glass cannon him.

Vs champions like Talon or Diana, they are melee assassins that I could see Darius dominating. To do anything they need to go in hard. Zed does not need to, he can keep his distance.

Also you don't need be to be above gold to hit Q and point at a low health creep. Or shadow away. Or even ult while your Q is casting. It's simple mechanics. Just remember, at equal skill levels, the numbers do not support Darius in a glass cannon v Glass cannon build.

And I wasn't implying Zed's kit is overloaded, he just sports heavy damage with a bit of mobility. Zed rolling your face doesn't mean he's overloaded.
