Title says it all. I'm going to do a gameplay analysis on this game to see how well the game was played and what could've been done differently.
Basically, I want to know if the complaints are legitimate or if this is just poor play.
Going live at 2:30 EST for anyone interested. This'll last probably about an hour or so just as a heads up.
Its an interesting exercise but it fails to make a compelling argument for several reasons: Anonymous authority, coincidence, generalization, selective observation, small numbers, correlation vs. causation, Reductio Ad Absurdum, and others. After this round of buffs, all I see is Zed banned in every game anyway, usually by both teams. The numbers say Zed has been artificially welfare-pumped into S tier (suck it riot). https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/tierlist/
At the time of me saying this, its a kassadin playing vs zed....didn't they just nerf his armor to "MaKe HiM SpEcIaLiZeD aGaInSt MaGeS"...it will give very innacurate results if you send kassadin against a zed for any sort of analysis or test.
Players being bad against a champ doesn't make that champ not OP.
Your exercise is pointless.
No one is talking about how this guy took Ignite into a Zed as Kassadin.
Then he took Dark Seal starting instead of Doran's Ring, where Doran's Ring has the bonus HP.
Then he gets first blooded.
Like...why do you guys think you'll be taken seriously when this is what you do?
Maybe do a series of matches picking: A Zed counter. an even toe-to-toe champ. A champ Zed is strong against building completely against him for survival.
gather results? Just an idea.
Why don't you analyze Dopa Zed vs Faker? Let's see how it goes?
Yenn got clapped lmao
I have never complained about Zed on these boards, but I can tell you the OP is using false equivalence fallacy. This argument is so absurd. Oh, you watched "a Bords" user? Is that somehow suppose to prove everything every board user has said is false? Also, are you not a boards user yourself?
Interesting idea, but you could probably dial up your mic volume like 50% higher so people would maybe be able to hear you.
Well that's the stream. I keep all my videos up so it should still be viewable for another 2 weeks.
Thanks everyone for coming out.
"I'm going to watch a tiny sample size play against zed and generalize based off of that"
That's what I like to hear. Zed isn't broken by any means, but this isn't helping anything either.
Lol, this is kinda sad. If you want to talk about Zed and his lane oppression, you should pick somebody with a champion who has middle lane relevance better than "irrelevant until 6". Zed broke out on him, and you end up downtalking the Kass player with minimal mistakes and glaze over it with "Yeah, he's bad", when he actually had decent cs for a few minutes for such a matchup until he did make a heavy misplay.
Zed counters Kass in so many ways, not even just in laning phase, but especially then. I think Janna would have had a better shot, at least she can safely farm. I put Soraka first, then realized she actually has some pretty good cheese against Zed's ulti.
If you make a thread against Zed hate, you don't get him picked into a hopeless counter and tell everyone "It's 'cuz he played bad". That says nothing against Zed's power, perceived or actual. You also don't cherry-pick a game with a known poor outcome because the game was played at 6PM last night.
All in all, you cherry-picked a game with a Kassadin versus his counter until level 9, a small bit after his power spike and at 0/3/0, and it wasn't amazingly played, but Zed had his own quirks in the game that were easily erased because he had the higher ground in counterpicking. Kass ended that game in 32 minutes at 2/6/3. Given the pace of the game at the quitting point and his "terrible gameplay", that alone is a miracle, and should have been showcased instead.
What a crock.
mans didnt take corrupting pot against zed lmao
So at the end what was your point ? what happened ?
Just curious but is there a summary of what champs faced Zed and won/lost in the stream?
