Zed is slowly becoming the Lux of AD Assassins

By that I mean, he's slowly losing counters. I just checked Lissandra's stats on Champion.gg and found that she only wins in 46% of games where she's matched against Zed. Diana as well, she's my go to counter however she apparently only wins that matchup 46% of the time as well. Even Lulu has fallen to a skill match up, whereas in previous patches she always came out on top. Seriously, if Sword of the Occult were still an item, we probably would have seen a brief period where that was considered a core item on him. At this point, I'm starting to think he'll just join the Untouchable squad with the likes of . Not necessarily OP, but if they ever became as such, Riot would make no move to rectify it.

His laning phase does need a nerf but you are exaggerate too much, as if you were losing games left and right because Zed is on the other team.

They could hit his double shuriken damage. It basically chunks you for 50% HP with thunderlords.

Well, I didn't mean to say that but it seems I implied it. Frankly I could hardly care about how Zed plays but when the champion who literally exists to counter assassins and has a built in Zhonya's is struggling, it kind of says a lot. Then again, this could be due to the fact that Lissandra isn't in the best spot right now. Moreover, I was actually surprised at the fact that Diana loses so much in that matchup. I was under the impression that she was a great champion against Zed. Or have I just been facing total baddies?

Know what all those champions save Lulu have in common?

They're bad to mediocre right now. And even Lulu isn't doing particularly well in plat+ solo queue.

''They're bad to mediocre right now.'' Nice lie because they are op.

I know Liss isn't doing that hot right now, I just thought despite that she'd still be able to perform in a favourable match up. Diana, I can't really say much because I've never really seen her as bad or good, just "okay," so I'm probably a bit blinded my own views with this one. Lulu's current state doesn't surprise me as SoloQ just isn't where she shines, but like I said with Liss, I honestly expected this matchup to be in her favour.

Probably.But Zed isn't problem.Problem is this cancer champions(Ahri, Lux, Lulu.)

Liss picked every match LCK just like Lulu.Diana and Lee are fine.Lux, Ahri is so strong.But Zed a bit strong.Riot want assassin meta so Zed isn't problem.Zed is strong but not so strong.

When people stop comparing the Competitive Scene to SoloQ, is the day I'll start strutting around naked.
