Zed's too strong

Can I just briefly rant on how broken Zed is? I mean - he is the perfect example of an unbalanced champion. I was playing Ezreal - and got fed in lane mind you - but the Lux mid on my team gave him just a few kills and then - GG. After that, every time he saw me he would rush me and ult me - didn't matter if I burned all my summoners or not - and I would die every time - 0 chance of survival. Like there is 0 counter to that - so how exactly is anyone supposed to fight that? He even murdered the high hp and high armor tanks on our team because all you need to do on Zed is build ad and armor pen and nothing survives... like if riot doesn't already have plans to nerf this champ they need to make them because I'm sick of losing games to a champion that has no weakness aside from perhaps the person who is playing them being stupid.

It's like it's the assassin's job to assassinate and 100-0 you.

Zed doesent even need death mark proc to kill adc, one Q-W-E combo is enough to one shot a squishy target. Deals insane damage with no items, you need entire team to chase him down, and hes very safe. Zed is just op champ overall.

Hi, I just looked at your game and noticed that you didn't buy QSS item 3140 . This item is a strong counter to Zed and you should look into getting it next time he gets fed.

And when you say you were unable to do anything to him. Zed was designed to be the best 1v1 champion in the game; so unless you are really far ahead, his kit gives him an advantage over you.

His ults is one of the simplest ults to counter in the game, a simple QSS, or zhonyas would stop it, even banshees or a bards ult would, too.

He's an assassin, that's what they do, they go to the enemies back lies, and deletes the squishes.

I do believe that Zed is overpowered, but your Lux (of all champs) shouldn't have fed him. The Lux fed an assassin, what can you expect to happen afterwards.

first off zed is kind of ok now his job is to demolish squishies too, but the fact that a lux managed to somehow feed a zed means either the zed was really good or your mid laner was just crappy, also qss/mercurial is a very good pickup as an adc in general but also even better to pickup vs zed to nullify his death mark. 1 recommendation if you're playing ez vs a zed again at some point save your e to escape after he ults you to try and keep him from getting damage on his mark.

Balance is a fool's master - Zed

QSS removes all debuffs, his ultimate is considered a debuff, so once you see that red dot appear on your champion, activate the item and his ultimate is removed from you.
