Man Zed has 0 counterplay

are all hard counters to zed (could have missed one or 2, aatrox may be pushing it too lol) any form of cc which is very easy to come by since its the tank meta, now with challenging smite there are basically 2 exhausts in the game. Anybody who is smart at all can cast cc directly behind them and win basically any trade eg. many champs can completely negate all of his ultimate damage by trading their ult… How is any of this broken? Why was zed's outplay potential nerfed like I honestly don't understand. The only thing that should have even been considered for a nerf on zed was his early wave clear and free harass (which honestly isn't all too free since his w is his only escape). Why nerf his ultimate when instead nerf his w ad damage or passive on minions so he can't shove you in as easily. I know this thread is very late, but with all of the champs that can counter him (ITS THE DAMN TANK META COME ON RIOT) Plus squishes being able to itemize around him, I don't think he was that op. Then they also came out with AP Zed with an AOE healing ultimate cuz we all know that makes sense. All I'm saying is I want whatever drugs the riot Games Balance Team is on cuz that's some strong stuff. Basically why nerf that aspect of zed who has obvious counter play and leave champs like basically untouched as well as allowing people to 2 shot an adc while building full tank cough cough
