So can someone explain the Zed hate Gameplay and balance has

Especially as he continues to fall out of fall in both high elo and the pro scene, in favor of more poke based long range mages, or champs like lissandra and LB. The circlejerk simply doesn't match up with the statistics and results, especially when you consider in China and Korea Zed isn't even ban worthy and he rarely gets picked anymore. It simply doesn't make sense how much hate he gets on this forum, especially when you consider how hilariously popular Leblanc and Lissandra are, who basically do what Zed does, but have even less risk than Zed. Some body please explain the hate and it better not be "He shits on low elo."

Because manaless and energy assassins currently have a large advantage over their prey, mana-reliant squishy mages, over whom they already have natural advantages? Zed is just the poster boy, hence why he gets all the hate. Mage players either want mana regen buffed (not gonna happen, obviously), or their enemies nerfed accordingly. Really isn't that surprising.

its because he's a melee and they aren't allowed to be good

People hate Zed because he's super frustrating to play against. They don't like playing against manaless harass and they don't like his low risk R "all in".

Zed isn't currently dominant in any pro scene, but that was never really what people cared about, so it's not surprising the QQ has not stopped.
