"Zhonya's active is much too strong, I can't kill him anymore now" - Every AD Assassin
Ok, I can (kind of) understand if a Zed says that, because he is countered pretty hard by it (if he gets fed, it doesn't matter, but whatever), but seriously, every other AD champ just waits 2.5 seconds and proceeds to smack him with his AAs. Meanwhile
makes you actually unkillable for AP mages while also granting lots of AD, ArmorPen, and even some AtkSpeed, Lifesteal and Spellvamp. Not to mention it builds out of
which is an excellent rush item for any AD vs AP lane by making him unable to beat you 1v1.
Don't get me wrong, Zhonya's stasis is really strong in the right situation (
or if you have teammates to peel for you), but often the only thing it does is making you live 2.5 seconds longer.
and then roll in the pentakills
