Make that zed can only return to his ult shadow when he dealt enough damage to kill the target

Riot has been trying to balance zed from making him having a delay when ults in by 0.5 seconds to return to his shadow, then buffed the W shadow length, then they nerfed the QSS´s (this is a big buff of course), then they nerfed his W cooldown, now they buffed their damage from hitting multiple shurikens but right now zed is just a gutted champion. i play a lot of carries and i know the frustation of getting popped by zed and feeling just hopeless to it, zeds gameplay has always been too low risk high reward in that sense and i feel this change its actually what he needs to make him viable and it offers a healthier gameplay overall, given that assassins should be high risk high reward champions. of course and give him decent stats again (damage, cooldown-wise) so that good zed players can get rewarded for good use of their deathmark outplay potential.

i know a lot of people doesn't like zed here but all champions should deserve the same love and be balance according to their concept

Well...first you call him gutted and say how he needs some love while you are asking for a nerf that would push him out of a game forever and that would gut his playstyle because Zed doesn't go back to his ult shadow only when he faisl to kill....but also to dodge skillshoots and juke.

Zed is bulshit atm, even that QSS nerf didnt help him when a fed Vayne can kill him in 3 AA's.

What's the point of nerfing such a garbage champion?

He'll never be decent because he can be counterpicked by a freaking support (just pick Taric or Zilean to completely shut him down in mid to late game team fights).

Even without QSS there's tons of counter-itemization that's readily available. People buy Zhonyas, rushed Bloodthirsters + GAs. Just try to assassinate an ADC who sticks by a counter-support and has a GA and a BT with solid footwork.

Hell I play an MF and I wasn't even scared of the other Zed however fed, because I knew he couldn't get to me.

Most of his threat is psychological. You think he can get to you because he has a Flash and a W as a gapcloser but truth of the matter is... if he uses those to get to you, he's got no damage left to do anything and will just get kited and killed.

Also, stand IN THE MIDDLE of your tanks, not behind (where he can flank you from behind). He can't assassinate a thing if you clump up together. His AOE is completely negligible and he can't deal even HALF of the damage in his kit without being right next to you where he'll just be blown up.
