Zed....
Since there are many QQ threads about zed ill just keep it short....
What is the draw back to playing zed?
I mean his wave clear is decent not like how people exaggerate but its much better then other assassins who need to wait till like level 6 for their best wave clear while zed is just fine at level 3 sure he uses his escape but its easy to wait out the cooldown early game.
When you play against zed you always need to manage Mana unless you bought 
but you gain no ap from it while zed can start building 
to stop any of my burst.Not to mention his poke is fast and lets him out position you while he gets a passive thats great for wining low health trades and last hitting for free.I can try to poke him but with health pots and his lack of any mana to manage he will definitely out last me forcing me to recall for mana if he doesnt just out right kill me at level 3 since his damage is just that strong.If he happens to hit level 6 before you get 
he is almost certain to kill you...and dont talk about how he falls off late game any good Assassin will be relevant late game and since his Assassination is just so safe he doesnt have to worry like 
about getting out.
. Ekko isn't even played as an AP assassin anymore anyways, and Leblanc at least suffers with weak wave clear, mana and her burst is usually telegraphed and predictable. Zed on the other hand can wave clear forever since he has energy, and higher wave clear than most assassins and while his main poke is telegraphed a little to, his shadow into shuriken is so fast that it really doesn't matter plus can reach farther distance than Leblanc can.

. Also even if you did first item a Zhonyas, his early game damage and poke is so high he can easily kill you without even using his ultimate.
