Hrm I wonder why Red's don't post here

Oh wait every time they do they get down voted to hell even when they say intelligent things. I see Meddler post things that get hidden due to being below thresh hold when he makes tons of valid points.

Maybe stop band wagoning against Riot doesn't know what they are doing and realize maybe that the people who understand the game just aren't being allowed to change it how they want and are being very cautious at how they go about it.

People down voted Meddler for saying that 80s CD on an ult is a big window of counter play when the champ relies on said ult. When that ult can not only be QSS'd as well as Zhonyas'd. Yes I'm referring to Zed here.

But he is correct if you look at Akali, her ult is on a really low CD and there isn't as big of a window to kill her safely. Same goes with Fizz and Ahri. Both have small windows to kill them. While Zed has small windows to die but an even smaller window for a kill against a good team. The reason he is picked so often is people don't know how to counter build. They think the game is all about counter picking.

Hell last night I had a game where we had a tryndamere lock jung after I called. So I picked ahri and went bot lane with smite to set their jungle back to give us some breathing room. I built a morelo because they had 4 healing reliant champs (I mean DFG is leaving soon might as well get used to not using it). And then I build an abyssal because they had a lot of AP but we were lacking a tank and this is where most people are going to complain about me. I built the rest of her tank because we had none. Yes tank Ahri. Why? Because we had plenty of damage and with my utility and highish base damages I can still remain a threat and draw massive aggro. And guess what. Our terrible team comp won because I could sit there and soak damage as well as CC and burst. I traded my own build for the sake of the team and we won.

Counter building can win most games, but the problem is people don't realize that stacking armor doesn't do much if you have no health to back it up. And Zed excels at killing low health targets whether they were full or not because they stack armor for his massive armor pen.

And I will tell you I honestly despise Akali and Fizz more than Zed because I know if I can bait Zed's ult I can win against him. You just can't be nearly as reckless with your spells and constantly have to gauge who has the advantage as he is the assassin and you are more than likely a mage. With Akali sure she may lose a trade but she has enough spell vamp to stop caring and start another fight in about 30s with full hp and you are at half from the last fight.

With Fizz you have to either kill him pre-6 or you lose because his troll pole starts to really spike his power after 6 combined with his ult power spike. The Troll pole merely annoys me because its pure nope. You have no say in it. He can dodge anything he pleases unless it was already on him and that isn't very much.

The thing is Zed sacrafices his kill potential pre-6 by having an amazing 6, but if the enemy was building right they can play safe until they get their rushed Zhonya's or QSS and then kill him if he tries anything. Then Zed is forced to roam and if you pay attention and your lanes pay attention he is pretty much out of the game unless they feed him.
