I just wanted to share this crazy outplay someone did to me last game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PwloY8DbNg

bone plating resolve defensive stats ninja tabi 121 armor

its amazing how a 9/4 zed can 100-0 me without being able to land a single q Yet people still defend zed and some go even as far as to say hes weak...

its almost as if he kept auto attacking you, and you just ran around without fighting back in any shape or form.

i think over the course of this entire thing you auto attacked him 2 or 3 times.

nvm that hes 3 levels up on you and was probably ahead in items aswell.

You're a bloody teemo, a champion who is well known as being one of the squishiest champs in the game. The entire video took nearly 19 seconds of him to kill you. A time frame that is actually incredibly long, which was plenty of time for him to chase after you and finish you off, while he throws down at minimum four auto attacks.

So let's see you're playing a champion who is under leveled, a champion who is known for being incredibly squishy, and you were completely caught out, took both death mark, shadow slash and electricute, and you wonder why you die?

You made a unwise play and died for doing so.

So sick of people doing stupid shit and going "oh it's the champion that's broken, it had nothing to do with me"

So from this it looks like Zed ulted, e'd, auto'd and procced death mark and electrocute. Then landed another auto, e, then another auto (with passive damage) and ignite possibly? While being ahead two levels with a rank three ultimate and no doubt a fair bit of gold while building armor pen/lethality. I really don't see what the issue is here. Please explain.

This is the stupidest thread I've ever seen. For starters he certainly did not 100-0 you lmao maybe 100-50. 2nd, he blew his load all over your face and then you just ran around like a headless duck not even attempting to fight back when you had 2 teammates right next to you. If you're going to complain about a champ don't use such a stupid clip like this lmao.

######Also it's "balanced", not "balance".

I don't think you know what a 100-0 looks like. Not to mention you played that incredibly poorly

I feel like this is how every person that complains about Zed thinks lmao.

The dude blew everything and followed you - for like 15 seconds - autoing you without you fighting back.

Fucking Sion could've killed you in that time frame, and he's pretty far from a dangerous assassin.

Even though you guys point out that he didn't aa and that he was two level behind, you still have to realise that 75% of teemo health was taken solely with one E and one auto-attack landed on him. It doesn't matter if he was ahead gold wise and level wise, it's still pathetic.

Just more proof that the zed hate circle jerk is pure nonsense. First there was no 100-0, second you got hit by all his autos I wouldnt say you stood there but it was close to it. Third its obvious by the score and level that zed is was ahead of you, 2 levels ahead of you with lethality items. This happens so often on the boards, which really brings down the quality of discussion and makes it hard for rioters to take things on here serious.

I mean yes Zed is too strong , but the video you sent doesn't show how strong he is

these comments lol.... youre right zed isnt very balanced but its not to do with im itself its to do with the runes.. they dont help him at all .... No zed should be able to just R and auto to deal that much damage ... if that Q landed youre dead ....

remember fakers zed vs zed outplay that was real balance .. dahsing around timing when to do things landing stuff and proceeding to wait for deathmark not a champ who just W E Qs and youre dead or severely low

This is why AD casters shouldn't exist. They can be literal garbage and miss every single skillshot and still win thanks to AAs. Meanwhile AP casters have to actually hit their skillshots.

Shmeeve8/8/2018, 2:04:10 AM2 votes

zed is balanced, he does fight hard but he is fairly squishy and can be killed easily if the zed doesn't know what he or she playing him is doing. He is a champ that does take skill, knowing when and where to put the clones and timing the q's

Eternal Torment8/8/2018, 2:31:33 AM2 votes

To be honest, zed himself as a champion is actually decently balanced. It is the combination of damage from different sources that makes him so balls to the walls nuts.

Electrocute, Duskblade and item 3095 make his AA go crazy so he does kind of lose the need for Qs.

Leetri8/8/2018, 11:45:56 AM2 votes

How this thread got any upvotes is beyond me. Guess people are that blind with rage against Zed they blindly upvote anything that hates on him without bothering even reading the post.

hhaavviikk8/8/2018, 12:15:53 PM2 votes

like someone pointed out it is quite silly that ult + AA + E + electrocute deals 70-80% of teemo's health

iDarkWind8/8/2018, 12:22:02 PM2 votes

If people upvote this and say that you're right I lose my faith in LoLs community. I expected something like a Zed with Duskblade and Stormrazor using his R Ignite E Auto and kill you, then I would completly agree because that is absurd, but it isn't Zed being broken, it's the interaction between Duskblade and Stormrazor and Ignite being strong. But no, it's a dumb play that doesn't show anything, that you don't even try to kite Zed when his dashs are on cooldown and also you're 2 levels behind? Also you don't bother showing his items, wich surely he had a Last Whisper perhaps, no? Whatever.

Zed after his rework is actually pretty hard to consistently win with. Yes his laning phase is still abusive, but that's all that he's got. He's actually a pretty subpar pick compared to something more reliable like Talon Khazix Rengar

RainXBlade8/8/2018, 4:34:42 PM1 votes

Dude, all you did was run away from him w/o fighting back.

He also missed his Q's while you had Death Mark. That would've been a good opportunity for you to punish him. But nope, all you do is die to him stupidly and just claim Zed is "balanced".

He was also 2 levels above you so there's that.

I can argue that yeah, Zed does too much damage. But that clip right there was just atrocious and poor on your side.

You list your items and defensive stats but refrain from mentioning the two level lead and what I’d assume the gold lead that the zed has. Riot has pushed League in to a more damage oriented game by increasing armor pen and adding more true damage. Most of my games the winning team consists of more champs that can 1 shot. Zed was ahead and is better in this meta.

ARGthe1st8/7/2018, 11:18:49 PM1 votes

Im an M7 Zed main and I have to say that that this zed could improve (A LOT), however he has some armor pen (I can see the black cleaver sign) and definitely had some Lethatlity. Also 9/4 is kinda fed and he is 2 levels above you. He got electrocute off, and ulted you, while hitting a lot of skill shots. Zed is not an op champion, especially at early levels, he is really squishy and can feed really hard making it hard for him to get fed. Also, unless he is fed or ahead, he cant oneshot people unless they are squishy (teemo is pretty squishy idk why you were building tank anyway). Its also kind of hard to tell how behind you are as you didn't include CS. Hope I helped you :)
