That's great, lets make zed's one thing that he's useful for, single target assassination, increasingly more difficult, even though there's already a million ways to stop his Ult if they're prepared, however, lets ignore that Annie does more bust, with cc, to both single targets and groups.
I'm sorry, but this is stupid. That 1 second CD on Zed's switch back to his ult is dumb.
Ulquiorra9952 votesLet me tell you the same thing Zed players keep telling us:
Just buy QSS. It'll allow you not to get CCd and die if you use your ult wrongly.

Just want to point out this is kind of silly. QSS is effective late game against Zed because his ult is his main assassination tool, and is on an Ult-worthy, for lack of better term, CD. Thus there is only a small window where QSS will not be up when Death Mark is. Compare this to common crowd controls from supports and mages on their basic abilities, there never be a window where your QSS is up while their CDs are not. Plus, an ADC gets to sit safely in the backline while Zed has to dive as a mellee champion in order to do his job.
Zed is still fine, whether the change was bad or necessary is a matter of opinion, just don't be like "lel just buy QSS filthy Zed main" when it's kinda different for Zed to buy QSS for CC in general then it is for an ADC to buy QSS for Zed ult.
Ulquiorra9951 votesIt was more of a joke comment :P Actually, I like playing Zed. And there is a post on the top of G&B boards made by long-time Zed main who explains how the nerf is fair.
From my point of view, the changes are healthy. They now open two possibilities:
1.)Zed now has to catch people out of position or wait for other team to blow their CC to dive in. And that is OK, since assassins should be opportunists. 2.)Zed gets QSS to still be able to assassinate someone in the middle of their team and get away. He builds according to situation, and gets rewarded for it.

This goes for everyone, and no champion should be exempt from it. Not even Zed.
Crett1 votesIt's not more difficult to assassinate, it's just more difficult to get out alive afterwards
Craft Zeppelin1 votesi'm saying this out of curiosity, then why would you bother using zed then? There is a champ that is called talon that does that stuff everyday with more efficiency
GroundRuleDouble1 votesI would like to point out that Annie's attack range got nerfed.

thank god, those annie auto attacks sure were devastating. now she has to fall back on killing the entire team with her ult
GroundRuleDouble1 votesI'm assuming this is sarcasm, but her auto attack range allowed her to snowball early. This is a big nerf to her. She won't be able to snowball as fast as before.

warpenguin5551 votesthey did touch annie
EDIT: damn accedntaly hit post before i was done. they didnt touch her to the same extent as zed but they did nerf her
FourVsFive1 votesRead patch notes they did touch annie...
WarlockLaw1 votesYou do realize that Annie got a nerf that is arguably a stronger nerf to her than zed got? Annie lost something like 50 range on her autos which believe it or not are one of the most important factors at higher level play on her. If you watch any high level player on her they auto a lot especially to proc spell thief so being an extra 50 units closer puts in range of more abilities and more auto attack ranges making her far less safe overall.
Meanwhile zed only needs that second when he is trying to outplay a tower dive or when he has enough items to kill in half a second. To the former I would say that if you are at 200 health or less and somebody with full health dives you I feel it should be hard to survive if you don't have hard cc, and for the latter if he has that many items he is either so fed he doesn't care or is ulting poorly if he needs that second
