If Zed is banned almost every game

Zed isn't even strong Right now, like did u people even play in season 3/4/5???? Has the skill of players really degraded that much over the years? or its just me? I mean we're at a state of the game where you spam 3 spells on every mage on a 3.5 sec CD without even caring for mana, and i mean if u throw 3 1 is bound to hit am i right???

Skill in this game has went so low because of all the meta abuses, i mean season 3/4/5 it was all : Akali,zed,fizz,Leblanc,Ahri, the Double W syndra etc, and ppl didnt cry back than what the hell now.

Because he's not actually that bad. Even if he gets nerfed, people will still not want to deal with his specific kit because of their own specific kit.

Because he's only being banned every patch because he got buffed like a week ago and we have had no patch.

Zed is in a healthy and balanced state.

The counterplay is to skilfully dodge his double Shurikens/play around his high W cool downs. That or you draft a bunch of Shield/CC champs. Its as simple as simple gets.

Many people on this board are unwilling/unable to learn how to play against him.

Riot is interested in actually balancing the game (and Zed is fine), not in adhering to a lynch mob calling for Zed's head.

If Zed is so OP, then why is he not top tier pick/ban in the LCS?
