Yasuo Or Zed? (or someone else) :3

Ok so I am getting sorta scarily close to 6300 IP. And yes I have read other peoples answers that say: "Instead of buying 1 6300 champion just buy a few 450-3000 IP ones."

I don't want to. Its that simple. I have looked through all the Champs less than 6400 that appeal at all to me. I just don't want to make the same mistake i made earlier: I spent 3150 IP on Shen. Now I think Shen is strong, and kinda fun. But thats it, I don't want just 'kinda' fun. Also I don't have any more refund tokens ;-;.

So here is my question: Who shall i buy. My current thoughts are in between Yasuo and Zed. I am a bit more on the Zed side. So if i get no comments by the time I get 6300 (don't worry I only have exactly 3999 IP as of writing this post) I will simply get Zed. But I am willing to be 'flexible' in who i buy. Also please tell me if you have BOTH of them as that will be more valuable to me. Also here is 1 thing to consider. I would like a 6300 IP champion who doesn't have to have ultimate clutch moves like i HAVE see with Zed. But it would be nice if he did such as Zeds Ult: Using deaths mark and letting the enemy walk away but then get killed by the mark while also escaping using a living shadow with almost no health but making it out alive. Ahhh the satisfaction you get in that move.

But here is what I am ultimately searching for (basically my final call you could say): -Must be 6300 -Zed is 60% gonna be picked -Yasuo is 40% gonna be picked (can be altered by your opinions) -MUST be a FUN character to play. e.g. Shen is 3000 but kinda fun, Twisted Fate is 1000 but AMAZINGLY fun -Having some sort of clutch move is a bonus point -should be good (I need to get more creative with my words) -Hopefully OP -I WILL ACCEPT NON ZED OR YASUO AS WELL. they don't have to be those 2 as long as they match the requirements above.

Thanks for reading through my post :3. Post your suggestions Down bellow

**UPDATE: I got Zed and LOVE HIM, to the people who said anything else like Yas or Rengar dont worry im saving up for them next*

Rengar. Once you learn his combo you will be one shotting the enemy squishies every 42 seconds with 40% cdr

I personally own both Zed and Yasuo. For most of season 4 i played as a zed main, and despite my rank of only like Silver III (I think?)... I've played a ton of normal's on both champs.

Zed is a ridiculously mechanically demanding champion. Yes, anybody can play and do well with him, but a small percentage actually take full advantage of his kit. If your good at keeping track of multiple things at once on the Rift, Zed is a good pickup. He's insanely good at what he does, but it requires a lot of practice to be effective. He's not like Talon for example who has a huge escape, despite his crazy damage zed relies a lot on picks and cleaning up fights. Recap is basically: You need to get good at alot of stuff going on at once, managing cool downs, and using his shadows to their maximum advantage.

Yasuo on the other hand is another fav of mine. My current normal's match history is literally like 25 games straight of Yasuo. Yasuo is a super fun, less mechanically demanding champion in regards to zed, but for different reasons. Yasuo suffers alot from counters, but when he gets ahead it can be argued that he can match or beat zed. I've put alot of zeds down in my days on the Wanderer. Think of him as a team fighting assassin. Yas excels at dealing with 1-3 targets because of his dashes and ults. On top of that, mix it up with a Wombo Combo, and you can easily turn a game winning team fight. There are also many cool things you can learn from yasuo, such as wall dashing through camps. Recap: Yasuo is a farming, mid game, and team fighting monster when played correctly. Despite his counter problems, he is a pretty decent all around champion. Learn to play the early game, and you will be very successful.

Overall my intention was not to push you one way or another but to give a basic overall comparison kinda thing. I'm by far not the best player for both champions, but i hope what i had to offer helps in your decision. If anybody knows more then me here, PLEASE REPLY... I want to learn more too.

To get away from the blow up people, look up Tahm. His W is ult worthy with how much it supplies a team, and he an easily duel a lot of the bruisers because of it. His E gives him some sustain kind of, with an extra health bar in team fights, his ult is a TF ult that he can cancel it or bring someone with him. His Q can apply a stun and has a ridiculous slow on it otherwise.

Yasuo is more fun than Zed who gets boring after some play. Another flashy champion is Ekko who is also fun.

Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo

He is incredibly fun to play and with the upcoming item changes he looks to be very strong. From what i hear, because of his passive and the new item changes you can have 100% crit chance for just 3000gold.

He is just an absolute blast to play though, gotta be one of my favorite champs.

Also, Zed has a godly laning phase, is really good at roaming and securing picks, and can 1v1 like nobodies business. But he becomes practically useless after the 25-30 minute mark when big teamfights are happening unless you're EXTREMELY skilled on him.

i didnt even read the rest of your post after you said you bought shen XDDD because thats exactly what i did when i first started. i looked at zed and shen and thought shen seemed cooler, so i bought him. and i hated him haha. ofc now i know how to use him, its better, but yeah. lemme just say, get zed. after i tried him i never went back. he's extremely fun, and takes a while to learn, so even better

Between the two, I think Yasuo is the better buy. He's much better in team fights due to having a great amount of utility for a melee carry with his knockup and wind wall (compared to Zed, who is purely damage and outplay potential), is probably a better duelist IMO (especially against tanky champions, due to his ult), is even more fun to play (both are really fun though), is more versatile in where he can go (Yasuo mid and top are both fairly viable, whereas Zed is mostly just a mid laner), and will probably be better in pre season since he benefits from the new masteries and the ADC itemization changes more.

Really though, both are really fun. I'd eventually look to get both, like I did.

Bard is the best champ NA

None of the 2. Actualy, just buy an AP mage/assassin instead. With the newarmor pen changes every AD assassin will be trash. The official death of assassins is near. 9 Days and counting...
