Ideas for balancing zed

Hello Im a zed main , and I agree he is totally unhealthy , and not fun to play either so let's go over all the problems I see with him : ** 1- such a weird early game** : it's totally unfun to have to wait 22 sec to trade with W when other champs can have their spell rotation every 12 sec , and im pretty sure it's frustrating to lose 60% of your hp when zed hits his combo , why can't he be a balanced champion with understandable damage output and reasonable cooldowns ? **2-his ult bonus ad passive ** : sometimes its very freaking weak like you get 20 ad at 40 min , but it can be sometimes busted with up to 80 ad which is not fair at all 3-attack speed: the funny thing is I had an Asol that has more AS than me , I have never seen a melee champ with such low Attack speed scalings other than zed electrocute: a keystone should never be a main source of damage ,and it has 50 sec cooldown level one , old thunderlords was fine , balanced damage and fair cooldown

Solutions : here are some numbers changes to make him balanced imo:

Q : » 80 / 115 / 150 / 185 / 220 (+90% bonus ad) >> 80/125/160/195/230(+100% bonus ad) make shurikens do 50% reduced damage if zed hits multiple qs again , this will his combo do less damage , but his single Q do a fair amount of damage .

W cooldown 22 / 20 / 18 / 16 / 14 >> 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14 , more early game love , since now his combo won't hurt as much and shift the R passive again to his W , and make it reliable by giving a percentage amount of ad

  • E 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 / 170 (+ 80% bonus AD)>> 80/130/155/180 (90% bonus ad) his E feels pretty weak , this will help his trades against melee champs , which suprisely zed loses all of them ( talon , yasuo , ekko , akali ..)

  • increase his AS growth please , we aint playing soraka or janna.

  • now that we added some damage to his basic abilities , his R needs to be fixed so : 100% AD (+ 25 / 40 / 55% of damage dealt) >> 100%ad (+25/35%/50%) is reasonable

  • remove duskblade's passive damage or at least give it a cooldown , it's too much ( this might affect other champs but it's needed)

let me know what you "lux mains" think about this :D just kidding , hoping for positivie feedback.

You want them to buff Zed? Please get the fuck out of here.

I wouldn't have anything against Zed, except for 2 things.

  • His E slows for too much (not to mention Duskblade also applies a slow when basic attacking, which can be refreshed when he ults).
  • I don't like the idea that his R is point to click.

I don't know, I rarely struggle against him (I'm an Udyr otp so i rarely mid) but lots of laners seem to struggle a lot. I think the level 2 spike on Shadow Slash [E] will be very powerful and make you able to able to kill one level 4 or 5. However i do not struggle against him because i can stun him with Bear Stance [E] and kill him or run away.
