Zed and the QQing about him on the Fourms of late
I am only a Silver scrub who only played a little bit of ranked before the season ended (I hit level 30 and finished provisionals only like a month or two before the season ended, I've played less than 30 games of soloque) but I consider myself a Mid main (when I can get it) and particularly I favor Zed.
is my favorite champion (though the likes of
.
, and
are also up there) so maybe I'm a bit too biased by why are there so many people on the fourms complaing about Zed? He is a highly mobile and deals a lot of damage, but that in general is what assassins do. His ult is really hard countered by the likes of
and
, as well as being hard countered by hard cc like most assassins are. Early armor is also good against him (though at least at my elo I rarely see people outside of the tank stacking much armor even if they are behind). Zed is all about positioning and timing; in fact Zed is really about punishing the mistakes of his opponent(s). If you are the carry and are out of position against an enemy Zed, then damn straight he's gonna nuke you; thats what he does. So I can get him being kinda annoying to play against but I feel out of assassins there are far worse offenders.
is infamous for how seemingly toxic it is to play against (largely due to the infamous troll pole of his); Fizz has high mobility, good aoe, insane scaling, great damage, applies grievous wounds, and has some untargetability.
is also infamous for how hard she snowballs and how easy it is (relatively) to succeed on her (similar arguments can go towards
as well). However, at the end of the day, most of these champions can still be countered by just smart plays, smart itemization, and good teamwork (though Fizz, Yi, and Akali by their nature demand much more teamwork to focus and shut down than a Zed would by the nature of their kits). Maybe I'm just too biased or off basis with this, what do you guys think?
