Welp, say goodbye to any potential Zed nerfs.

With a new skin on the horizon, he'll likely get a buff, if anything.

But, you know, it's totally fair for him to assassinate a Skarner with 5.2k health, 200 armor and a shield for 700+ damage. Yeah, that's not broken at all.

Good on ya, Rito.

I once one shot someone with a Teemo shroom? Does he need nerfs now? No it's a stupid example thst isnt relevant just like the one you posted.

Zed isn't in need of nerfs not matter how biased you are, hes chilling at a 47% win rate which by some standards is actually Under powered but I won't complain its fine.

Why would we be nerfing Zed right now? He's average or below-average in solo queue, and he's got no competitive play. He's banned because he's annoying, not because he's actually good.

Like, I get hating Zed, and I can empathize with you there, but he really doesn't need nerfs right now.

You made it sound like he needs more nerfs to begin with. He's annoying to face, but not OP. People are slowly realizing that which is why his ban rate has been dropping lately.

Well, considering he's one of the safest champs in the game, he has way too much damage. The main issue is all the items he abuses.

I can't really agree with the "Safest Champ" part, his W has a ridiculously long CD and is the key to his trading without using his ult. I don't think his damage is too insane unless he snowballs either, which is the case with a lot of Assassins.

The thing with Zed is that he isn't really a strong early game champion, people just call him safe because he actually has an escape (Like other viable assassins these days like Leblanc). He is more Mid-Game focused where he looks to pick on immobile carries and Split-push if he can. His damage is relatively High, but then again he's a midlaner, where the majority of champions who go Mid can 100-0 you if you are out of position (It's kind of their job to do damage) and I can name a few champions who are just as safe as Zed is. He has poke damage, but he has to sacrifice his escape to use it effectively.

How do explain our 42% winrate champion with the new SKT Skin?

This thread is implying Zed needs nerfs. That's so incredibly hilarious, holy shit. I didn't think I could cry from laughing at someone this hard.

Also, if you got assassinated as SKARNER in that case with that much health/resistances/shields, then that's just you being garbage. Hence, that's a you problem.

Or, he ulted me, blew his combo, autod me a couple times, and I died while he's at 3/4 HP despite me being able to shred the Volibear on their team.

But nah, it's just me.

Yes, how incredibly wonderful of you to just go and bake some cookies while he's busy trying to do that to you. Instead of you know. Doing something. Hitting him. Or CCing him. For some reason, LoLNexus or OP.GG or the like isn't working and I can't see the builds or KDAs or similar. But I'm calling bullshit on you stating it as easy as it is.

And either way, that's still your fault.

Implying I was alive for more than three seconds. Fought him the whole time, even ulted him (he built a QSS), but he still just instagibbed me. The champion is broken, and so are the items he abuses.

But, Riot will never do anything about that, since he makes money.

Astôlfo1 votes

Yes, keep crying, maybe it'll help you to learn how to play against him.

Niyumi1 votes

Well, considering he's one of those champions who can get out of any fight and potentially win any matchup due to his bullshit kit, the only way to beat him is to hope he's bad, or CC him to death, as is the case with most broken champions.

Failing that... just end the game before he gets a couple items.

Yeah yeah whatever you say buddy.
