The funniest part is if you actually tried to do this by yourself ina actual 1v5, you would get insta cc'd as soon as you come out of your R duration, and 95% of the time you will not escape no matter what unless you use INSANELY strategic shadows.
Not everyone plays with bots just fyi
Actually, I just made a post AND linked to an LCS video of Zed going in 1v5, getting hooked by Thresh, and then just teleporting back.
LCS player also built Mejai on 0/5 Kassadin and in season 4, Mejai on 0/4 TF in Worlds
Not all pros are good players
Because pros get nervous and as soon as they see someone become violent they automatically assume they will get jumped.
First things first, zeds ult range isn't too far so if he manages to click R on someone in a 1v5 then he will easily be reached by all 5 members and if you really wanted to be technical, 2-3 of the members can camp his Shadow to kill him if he R's back
So he traded his ultimate for a regular skill and did no damage to anybody?
Zed QQ thread. How original.
Oh yeah random ult a random person in the middle of their team and then instantly press R again. So technically right, but if you actually tried killing someone you would die. I just played Zed earlier today.
If he went in 1v5 got off a full combo and ported back without getting cc'ed and bursted then your team is very bad and would lose to any fed DPS champ jumping in way harder.

It's not a Zed being OP, it's actually a Riots retarded strategic behind balancing this game in general. Look, Zed actually is as Riot mentioned ''A definition of a healthy assassin'', he indeed is if you take a closer look into his kit. Main problem lies in other things Riot don't see or do not want to see. Zed's kit against other champions is perfectly fine. A fed Vayne can easily outplay a fed Zed even without a QSS, same goes for Graves, for example, but his ability to clear minions is not ok. In the last patch Riot decided to reduce his scaling and base AS, that was a good healthy nerf to Zed's splitpushing potential and his ability to outduel pretty much every single tank in this game but it didn't affected his clear at all. As a Zed main I am sure that his E should not scale vs minions as it scales vs champions, and his E is actually a thing that allows him to outpush even some mages that are designed for clearing minions. My suggestion for Zed change isn't anything about his potentiall to PVP, my suggestion is to CUT IN HALF his E scalings against minions adn he will be fine. I don't see why is that so hard to do? He will be able to clear lategame, pretty much every assassin can do that..lategame Talon, Fizz, Akali, etc but problem is that Zed is clearing like a demogod even durring the mid game. That is the ONLY thing that has to be nerfed, his E against the minions and that's all.
Went into a 1v5
Did nothing but leave a Death Mark on an enemy
Zed used to spawn a shadow next to the target not where he ulted from, and it had a limited range of like 1k. But you guys cried that he had too much sticking power. Your fault.
you forgot
I did no damage
