Quit acting like Zed takes any skill at all.

A champion that can 100-0 someone under tower while exhausted in .17 seconds (I'd show you the clip but, SHOCKER, Riot's client is messed up) by literally auto attacking once and pressing Q doesn't take skill. Just because he had to also press E to get there and then E again after he used his other abilities to instantly kill someone doesn't make him high skill. It makes him overpowered, anti-fun, and broken.

Malphite can do the same by going AP and ulting in, pressing E, Q. Its called you are a squishy little marshmallow that hasnt figured out what armor is, and he is the mouth that has roasted you and then eats you.

Also, get a dang Zhonyas.

I dont play zed

I dont like zed

I dpnt think his entire class is a good part of the game

But that dpesnt mean im going to say zed mains arent talented at what they do amd that they didn't put the effort in to show their skill

So you're wrong and ive downvoted you

as someone that never plays zed, but can easily use zed and kill people 100-0 with infinite safety when I do play zed, I'd agree with OP the basic assassination combo on zed is rather easy, but the basic assassination combos on most assassins are pretty easy, and that is not what makes someone good at them as much as it is the niche knowledge of the champion. Katarina players as example have replays of all kinds of fancy plays, but 80% of our kills are the exact same combo every time, and it's not really ever shown in replays often because of how boring it looks to a katarina player.

Wow that's weird because we play the same game and I'm 100% positive things didn't happen like you describe. Did you just lose to a Zed and are super salty or something?

It's fine to be salty, but don't let the salt cloud your judgement.

Zed is strong, but not overpowered. He is one of those champions that can legitimately counter others, so you can lose lane in champion select if you are not careful, but even in that situation he can be dealt with.

Skill isn't the only aspect of League you need to practice, knowledge and decision making are just as important and appear to be lacking for you. Read some guides, watch some videos, or just get a friend who plays Zed well to practice against you a few times.

Even if your ridiculous claim that you conveniently can't back up was true, the Zed would have to be so obscenely fed that any other assassin would be destroying you with the same lack of "skill". The truth is, the real demonstration of skill would be how the player got such an advantage in the first place.

As a mage main, and a previous zed main I can safely say vs zed is all about itemization, plus you have 2 lvls to poke zed and make him cry, loosing to assasins mostly comes from the fact their is no lane control, you freeze vs assasins. But now jungler don’t gank mid so that’s useless.

Trust me we know there is no clip you don't have to lie. Just post the nonsensical rage and well read it anyway.

There's a difference between someone who has high base damage scaling and builds lethality (Zed) and someone who has no skillshots, true damage, and an ability that makes them invulnerable along with a damage reducing spell that also heals (MasterYi).

I think you're crying about the wrong champion here. You can get by zed pretty easily with armor and (shocker) item 3157 .

I agree that the amount of AD assassin midlane champions that are viable right now is unbalanced, but at least Zed has dodgeable skillshots and can't really 100-0 you without his ult (bring item 3157 summoner 21 and you're fine, or play someone like Lissandra Elise Fizz ).

Actually, Zed compared to Wukong right now... Zed's complete trash lol

Wukong actually procs Duskblade, and he has CC and better mobility XD
