Did you ever consider counter-picking Zed?

Do people not realize he's strong against immobile squishy mages?

Pick something more tanky or mobile and suddenly you'll win if you're actually the better player.

Chogath - Inbuilt health and mana sustain. Naturally tanky, silence fucks Zed up. More useful in teamfights if you can land your shit. Extra smite too. Urgot - Ult counters his ult. Shield prevents harass, harass the fuck out of him with E+Q. Ahri - Skill matchup, favours Ahri if she can land her shit because she's ranged. Leblanc - Skill matchup, favours LB if she can land her shit because she's ranged. Lissandra - Zed can never kill you ever. Harass him with Q when W is down.

Actually even some immobile mages do well if you can land your shit.

Xerath for example.

Also remember summoner 3 item 3157 are your friend.

Problem is that none of his average powered "counterpicks" actually work against him. The only way to deal with his is to pick another top tier champion because he completely outclasses the other 80% of the league lineup. That is the problem with a champion like zed and why he desperately needs a nerf to get on par with the average league champion.

Chogath isn't top tier I don't think, Ahri/LB kinda struggle with tanks as well.

The tank meta is a indirect nerf to Zed anyway.
