why is everyone so okay with the distance Zed can swap at?
Because for any other non-extreme jump [pantheon ult, TF ult, etc], that champion can be followed up on with another non-ult jump.
Zed just friggin' disappears. Aside from his legit double swap, he can practically swap positions with a shadow that isn't even on the screen. And then he still has another swap left!
I'm not saying Zed is "the op," but there's a lot of consensus that he is very strong.. The burst power from his spells, juggled with auto-attacks is too much damage for basically anyone to survive. Maybe that's fine, but then he shouldn't also have an impenetrable escape, that only TF can follow. Clearly Zed wants killing power, so what's he also doing with the best escape in the game--which also has no casting _or _movement time. Just remove the "yellow" zone he can jump in, and he still might have a longer distance non-ult jump than anyone, but it would then be a jump that would not completely remove him from the engagement in one jump.
Zed's W swap will put you from just outside the river bush, to the middle of mid lane. Why? No one else gets to move that far--instantly, with no cast time. Why is this so okay with him??
I can understand not wanting to hit Zed's power. But what about all the rest of his stuff? The only reason Zed isn't getting hit by nerfs and redesigns, is that everyone's too afraid of Yasuo, and just want someone who can fight everyone. But Zed has to pay something for that power.
No body else can move like that. You don't get to be the most powerful, and then also get to have broken movement. Zed's been around for too long to still be set up like this.
