Why does everyone hate Zed?

Well, other than the fact that he is a laning nightmare pain in the ass for anybody and his player base is godawful. I just had a game where their mid lane Zed said "outplayed" everytime he got a kill. He was 2-0 at the time. I then proceeded to say "outplayed" after every death he had. Needless to say he ended the game 2-8-0 and he afked.

Fuck the zed player base.

Because he's brokenly overpowered.

Zed is probably one of the strongest AD carries in the game. A lot of the recent hate for him is due to the following of lowering the damage on his ultimate, but then completely bypassing that by introducing Drathkar's Duskblade, that pretty much resembles a dirty bomb, while Zed's ult is a full nuke. It then quickly became his new core item. After the most recent patch, the changes to Quicksilver Sash and as well as Mercurial Scimitar eliminated the possibility of escaping his ult when he uses his Death Mark. If you want to counter him nowawdays, you either take on his AD counterpart, Talon, or you go fully mobile AP, such as Fizz and spam Zhonya's everytime he drops a deuce on your team.

he is not that bad. I can break it down real simple. harrase him when his shadow is down. Dont 1v1 him unless you are a champ that can take his burst and is good at dueling. If he ults you use your escape AFTER he appears. If he used his abilites to clear wave all in him

because hes overly oppressive, its not just poke, its bulk (which they cant get through) when people land their skill shots an even amount of skill shots against zed they come out behind, thanks to base stats and 3 health pots vs 2. and the sheer amount of casts he has vs our limited amount.

its how easily last hitting comes to him and how difficult it is when you have 53 autos vs 80 ad + 10% health....

and zeds level 6 powerspike is unrivaled, if you go in when your opponent is under 80% health, the kill is guaranteed.

when you are even in skill, zed has clear advantage until team fights roll around.

only a limited handful of champions counter him, everyone else is at a severe disadvantage.

zeds power is in all the wrong places and people are hellbent on keeping him that way because it benefits them.

zed should be rebuilt from the ground up with new abilities so something fun for everyone can be around, like Sion , one of riots best reworks.

im not saying you dont have options to make zed manageable, you do, but its just so awful when he gets ahead compared to literally anyone else. and you just have to ask why?..... its because the champion and his kit enables it.

you look at a 6/0 galio, you ask whats going to happen, hes going to wait for flash, catch all of us, and get us all really low.

when zeds 6/0 you go oh crap oh crap, i cant even go back to lane, hes going to just kill me under my tower and get away free!

heres a level 6 example. im oriana, im at 80% of my health, full hp zed musters up the courage and tower dives with his R. i know its coming, i stand right next to turret. he lands, i pre emptivley cast R and hit him just as he lands, i shield myself.

zed E's autos Q's and then mashes R to get out, he takes 2 turret shots in the process. zed lives with a sliver, i die to deathmark and ignite. it just mandates an extra hand to beat zed, and thats just not right, i can outplay zed and he can still come out ahead.
