@Riot Balance Team: You guys are actually idiots (Zed "nerf")

SquishyArchon··7 votes·1,232 views

I'm thoroughly convinced that either nobody on the balance team has played against a good Zed or that they are all Zed mains if their solution to balancing Zed was nerfing his attack speed. You guys always pull this bullshit where you flat out refuse to understand or accept what actually makes a champion OP and instead resort to nerfing irrelevant things that are merely perks. Then when the time comes a year later that you finally get on board, you nerf what really mattered the whole time and the champion is left utterly worthless because of all the other shit you nerfed before that (Nasus prime example.)

HERE'S A BIT OF NEWS:

Zed isn't OP because of his attack speed. He's OP because of his obnoxious laning phase that carries him to his obnoxious end game. He can safely spam Q and farm from out of any reliable harass range indefinitely. He is incredibly resistant to ganks. Once he gets level 6 he can blow you the fuck up while dodging your own spells in the process and then return back to his tower like nothing ever happened. Seriously what do you think nerfing attack speed is going to do? You think by stopping the retard bronze Zeds from split pushing it's going to fix anything? If you actually think Zed is a "healthy assassin" in his current state you guys are fucking hopeless. Like we're all very happy that you've created this awesome flashy champion that makes LCS games SUPER exciting to watch (not) but this champion is actually a fucking joke to play against. Wake the fuck up and do your job. Thanks.

I do tend to agree with the spirit of what you are saying though. Riot balancing misses as often as it hits. You would think they'd be better at it after years of experience, but they're not.

Yeah I'm fully expecting it to get deleted but I don't fucking care. I just hope one of them sees it. I'm shocked that their solution after "keeping an eye on him" for over 2 patches has been a fucking attack speed nerf. They are truly morons.

Do not call idiots who create the game you're playing for FREE. You'll also have your reasons, but do not insult the mother who breastfeeds you

Honestly....I play Zed and feel he needs a buff, not a nerf. I feel like his utility if anything is OP, but that is part of how he plays. You're either incredibly good at playing him or really bad at playing him (Like me) haha. Needless to say i agree that sometimes when Rito Nerfs they close they're eyes and just pick or something. Seen so many of my favorite champs have pointless things nerfed that don't even need it

You spoke out against the glorious LCS spectator event, now you've ruined your chances of seeing a Rioter in here.

Honestly they just need to give him completely different numbers when it comes to minions. No passive on minions, heavily reduce Q and E minion damage. Boom, now he's not such a douche in lane but still wrecks champions.

Seriously though, it takes 0 skill to farm as zed and he -never- misses a last hit.

It seems like people who've responded generally agree with me so far. Only passerby downvoters on their daily purge of threads. BUMP
