My suggestion for possible Zed buff @Meddler

Arsames··2 votes·1,151 views

Hello,

I am a EUW player and I started playing League of Legends 1 week before Zed was released and mained Zed since his release, I love his lore, style, kit and looks, he is my favorite champion and I've played him non-stop through all the nerfs and buffs he has received over the years. Meddler stated that they will consider buffing Zed elsewhere, if the ultimate change leaves him too weak.

In patch 3.13 Zed's [W] Living Shadow was nerfed: Missile speed reduced to 1500 from 2500. The reasoning was to give room to his opponents to react to his W E Q combo. I would like to see his Living Shadow buffed, increase the missile speed from 1500 to 2000 and lower the energy cost of [W] Living Shadow from 40/35/30/25/20 to 30/28/26/23/20.

Why buff Zed in this way?

  1. This will restore some of his juking potential, which is a part of Zed's core identity.
  2. I believe quality of life changes like this are better and a more secure way to buff a champion, instead of buffing his damage numbers.
  3. This will fix a very annoying bug on Zed: When you use W Q in a very fast combo, sometimes Zed will throw a Razor Shuriken, but his Living Shadow won't throw a Razor Shuriken when it arrives at its spawning location.

I think these 3 reasons combined make my suggestion a very good one, I would appreciate a reply with your thoughts on this suggestion Meddler.

Thanks for reading and to those of you who have pledged loyalty to the Order of Shadows, remember... Only the worthy will survive Zed

>Asking for Zed buffs

You are fishing for downvotes, arent you?

But dont worry about Zed. We all know Riot will give him huge buffs anyway because LC$ Big Playz!

If that change results in a healthier play pattern for Zed, but leaves him too weak, that would also give us the opportunity to put a bit of power into something else instead

Don't bother replying if you are not going to be constructive. Also, I don't care about autistic upvote/downvote system.

It's too early to determine that his nerf impacted him as a champion. People need to adapt to the nerf first since it impacts the way one plays him greatly. You need better situational awareness than before and better judgment otherwise you will just die.

Your comment is off topic, if you wish to discuss if Zed is weak or not, make your own topic. This topic is for a POSSIBLE ZED BUFF and my take on it. Please stay on topic, thanks.

Not so sure if it is off-topic. Meddler said he would buff Zed is he became too weak. That would determine if any buff was needed, the scale of the buff, etc. Seems relevant.

The bolded statement makes my post relevant. You are talking about buffing a champion because the recent nerf has impacted his play but you cannot possibly determine that at such an early point in the implementation. People are still trying to play him as before but the change obviously is a significant enough change to cause players to play him a little more cautiously.

You're no different from the players who were whining about how OP they all thought he was. Just hating on anyone who disagrees with no real points of contention or solid basis with which to contend with.

My comment might be a bit off topic aswell but are EUW players allowed to post in the NA forums dont they have their own boards?

Arsames1 votes

I am not sure, but I think if it wasn't allowed, they wouldn't have implemented the option to do so. I posted my first thread here because Meddler is active here, not on the EUW boards.

but euw has more players than na right? the server is much bigger , or it works diferent with the boards

Riot doesn't read EUW boards. On the red tracker you don't even get 1 riot comment per 3 days most of the time.

I've wanted to say this for a long time now. Ahem. If the Zed nerfs are making it too easy to counterplay your ultimate,..

"Just buy QSS."

I've had to use cleanse to be able to do anything with him. That is desperation.

ARSAMES!!

You back in the Troll-business? Because the last time I saw you writing was when the old formus was still there :)

Btw. The misslespeeed increase would be fine ( not the cost reduction)

Zed buffs? Are you Satan? Teemo
Why not suggest to make Leb Q deal true damage?

Oh damn, Arsames found out about Boards.

Brace yourselves for Buff Assassins threads every day.

I won't downvote for not having Yasuo included in this one <3
