League of broken Zed

Gorsz·Nov 25, 2014·9 votes·2,139 views

Apparently no other mid laner in the entire game exists.

Zed every single fucking game. 70 other mid laners? Np.. just pick Zed. Zed every other game, zed zed zed zed. Normals 100% all Zed. Zed on both teams, fuck it so much Zed to go around.

Cheesy, overpowered, easy mode piece of shit champion. Yes, Yes.. I know .. hourglass counters his ult, just like hourglass counters 90% of ultimates, but zed gets to cheese mode overpower on you until you get it, while being 100% safe from all jungler ganks.

Then later on he gets to burst whoever he wants while switching to a shadow 1500 range away because you know.... "skill".

Fuck this stupid champion.

i think hes balanced

When you have 70 possible champions for a position, yet one champion is being picked WAY more than everyone else, that is clear indication that Zeds powerlevel is too high.

No, it is a clear indicator that he is very reliable and fun to play. People don't just play a character for their strength. They also play them because their design is fun and engaging, opening a variety of combos and depth. Zed does this. Heck, once or if they ever make Kennen viable, I would be very surprised if he doesn't become a top pick due to the amount of depth and potential combos in his kit.

Tell me that people play these things realy for not unresonable high demage rate they have for no exasting of theyr spammable abilities, (GJ for yasuo, its realy broky and most banned as fizz and gj for all "energi"-bar having things those actualy realy never exast of that (Ninjas allways will be the tipical favorited thing by people for theyr sneaky and awful coward tactice they having)). If an Ahri or a Janna beat me I say ok, that guy may know what he is doing for real, but what are these "spaming the abilities in a single strike" besturs good for? Just the strength the people play tham for as theyr -mian- I so sure!

Dont kid yourself. People mainly play champions that are strong. Hence why every OP champion in the history of the game had an extremely high pick rate.

Literally the SECOND I pick up a new main everyone decides to hate on it. First Yasuo until he got nerfed into oblivion, now Zed. I'm gonna start maining Urgot adc, and watch as even he gets nerfed. Just watch.

Not op, overly reliable though. Capable of being relevant even if behind. Good in 1v1 and decent in team fights.

GorszNov 26, 20143 votes

How do you even get behind as Zed?

Immune from jungle ganks, easy mode laning/farming. You can even split push super safe with Zed.

Kuroi86Nov 26, 20141 votes

I've seen LB, Kat and Akali do well against him and out play Zed. The thing is, beating Zed is about outplaying him.

GorszDec 1, 20143 votes

You can say that about any champion, but the thing is, Zeds kit has way more "outplay" potential than the vast majority of champions.

Kuroi86Dec 1, 20141 votes

That is what Zed is all about. While most champs excel at one thing yet do poorly in another regard, Zed does well in almost everything even. Even if you out class him in one aspect, he can still use your weak point against you.

GorszDec 1, 20143 votes

Zed is all about being better than most champions and having more potential while having basically no or limited weakness?

Yeah.. exactly, hes OP/broken, and exactly explains why hes picked almost every single game.

Kuroi86Dec 1, 20141 votes

No, he's neither overpowered or broken, he functions exactly how he's supposed to.

The problem is his function is too reliable because he's too balanced and needs a more definitive weak point.

As it is, he excels at little and has no serious fall off. The only real downside is that without his ult he seriously lacks killing potential unless he's WAY ahead, like three levels or more.

GorszDec 1, 20143 votes

Gotta love strawmen and semantics.

Hes not overpowered / broken too strong or whatever but hes "too balanced".

You should be a politician, or work for a mainstream media company because you sure know how to apply the spin.

Lmao.. "too balanced"

Kuroi86Dec 1, 20141 votes

Look at Zed's numbers, his damage isn't as insane as you think. Broken also denotes that you think a champ is not operating as intended, thus a bug.

I'm not trying to strawman, but I am hitting semantics.

If you want to win an argument, you've got to be clear and precise, if you, me or anyone wants a change from Riot, we need to be clear and make our point as solid as possible so someone can't simply walk in and tear it apart because we leave loose threads all over.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm pointing out what his issue is and what I dislike about him. :P

GorszDec 1, 20142 votes

The issue is, hes an incredibly safe/mobile assassin with high burst and great wave clear with no resources.

Kuroi86Dec 1, 20141 votes

hes an incredibly safe

Exactly. Assassins are meant to be risk/reward yes?

GorszDec 1, 20143 votes

Yes, Riot Games is just choosing "lcs big plays" over proper game balance.

MissMikasaOct 7, 20171 votes

Are you kidding me? Zed has the worst teamfighting phase in the game. I always dread getting one on my team in ranked because we may be ahead early, but then team fight phase and it's gone. Every time we can't do shit cause the stupid person had to chose Zed.

Zed is arguably the strongest mid laner in the game right now though he does have his counters

GorszNov 26, 20144 votes

Every champion in the game has counters, but clearly Zed is overtuned compared to other mid laners.

Im glad to know that I have a stalker :)

How cute.

And yes, Zed is broken, hence why hes spammed so much.

TabsNov 25, 20141 votes

Maybe, people might play him because of his awesome background story, bad ass appearence/skins, and his extremely fun to use kit. Though i am fkin sick of vsing him 99% of games....
