I like the back and forth we got going one, maybe someday some will join. Anyways, the fact you bring up mastery shows how little you know. Mastery has never been a weight of skill, all it shows it that you played that champion enough to get an S, my friend, people in bronze can do that. So I could have level 1 mastery and it just be as valid as someone with 7. Master does not equate to skill, at best its a tool to BM with. Also, I say it's "hardly impactful" because his patterns are still the same, he just cannot one shot at level 3 as easily as he used to. Still the same wrecking machine once you get six, lethality made sure of that. You also mentioned that he is an assassin, and so he ability to assassinate cannot be brought into question, he's also one of the safest champions to date still categorize as an assassin. He can get it, take out a target, and get out with little repercussions. He is in-fact to safe for being able to delete a champion, and get out safely. Most assassin have an all or nothing play style, but zed, if he fails he can use his "w" or "R" to get out. Leblanc also his this type of play stye but unlike zed her "jumps" are more noticeable in a big fight (big shining ring, compared to a black shadow), she also is a bit softer target (100 HP, 20 Armor and 30MR less then zed) so the gamble she takes is much higher. You also said "He doesn't build BC anymore", this is simply false, he can and will if the situation calls for it, the only reason you might see less use if because of lethality is still stronger to pick of soft target, but one it comes to tanks, that's a negative so items like BC can help, also providing CD so he ult is up when he needs to assassinate, and afterwards, his abilities comes back faster so as to rejoin the fight. And yes, I do play against him a lot, I'm usually counter-picked too since I main a champion he has an edge. And despite this I usually win lane, because as a melee champion, he is susceptible to poke pre-six. Doesn't help that some cannot land a skill shot to save their life (literally). Not because zed is weak, but because they play him like an idiot they lose lane. And even with that lose, 50% less cs even, still can assassinate a target. I've also play against my share of more skilled players and seen how they abuse him and his strengths and a true level of skill they display. And yes, some champions are harder to kill than others, yes cc is a thing, but there is also something called CD and timing and why do you think every squish target should equate to a free kill. You want a free game, go play cookie clickers. And every champion is susceptible to some degree of CC (except maybe olaf) So your point is completely invalid, why argue a point that every champion is susceptible too, that's not just a "weakness" of zed. Any you give him credit because your a Zed fanboy that doesn't like when his champion is talked down too. Not because you are good or experienced, but just because you play him a lot and your not even ranked, you play him at a Bronze 2 level, so you don't even play with him at a competitive level. Your just upset that your champions isn't supper OP favor of the months. So next time you think to look down on my experience and my level of mastery, don't because mastery doesn't equate to skill. Your B2 MMR is proof of that. So saying you know how to play with an as him, is a gross overestimate competitively speaking.
