Just to get this out of the way, You can't split vs these guisnoos champs you just get destroyed, or vs tanks since theres no lw. Even when his damage issues are fixed, the era of splitting to win is long gone, You have to team-fight at least a few times in this meta to close out a game. As a high dia player teamfighting with zed required being able to wq (dash to w) auto+e or wqe (dash to w) auto onto targets that you could proc your passive on then ulting to avoid being instagibbed by their team or a various mixture of using this combo and with/without flash. Trying to straight up r is way too predictable you just get ccd (no instant r back) and gibbed. its hilarious trying to wq dash auto+e with this new animation, its predictable and you dont have time to do it quick enough befor being cc'd now since you have to do the full animation. I'm sure riven would be a much different champion if she couldnt animation cancel. bork and last whisper was zed, gonezo, qss is cheaper, theres a ton of tanks that are stronger than ever both in the jungle and in top lane and even one or two in supp. Zed was ALWAYS a weaker pick if he wasn't being used as a counter and even then if he didnt snowball like HELL he would be outscaled by zhonyas, It's a very feelsbad moment after playing zed and comboing with him feels so yucky now. He's never going to be as fun as he was, even in the era of the tanks or whatever it was he was fun but that's gone forever and it makes me sad. sorry for the rantings

uhhh not true i went 21-1-3 on my zed game and the game before that 21-9-10 and the game before that 15-0-2 so i really feel as if you are underestimating zed's power as an assassin he does not build the same way he did before with bork and you go down the cunning tree for the thunder lords which puts so much burst damage out. Just because you cant do anything with him dont put it out there as fact

playing with silver players is quite different than how teamfights happen at a level that is enjoyable for league fans to watch, im not saying im at that level im only dia 2 teamfighting with zed would probably be even harder at the level which league fans love to watch

80% of those plays involve q animation cancel or the pre-queued eq that was nerfed a while ago, thanks for trying though. Love the amount of low elo kids downvoting this post when what's important is how its going to affect the pros and I can tell you they are not going to play zed or will do it very rarely just to please the fans.

with the new adc reworks i think zed and other assassins will make a comeback because they can get to the adc and kill them quickly but who can really tell what season 6 has in store

he is one of the hardest champs in the game with riven and lee so you have to think about it another way he is not weak to play just harder to play as there are tons of champs that are better picks but if you see a cass and pick zed against her you probably have a better shot of beating her than lets say a kayle so its all in how you play him what who are playing against
