Riot don't give a f**k about balance...

That's all there is really. They are company... what they care about is money. So taking out ways to counter Zed benefits them because Zed is a popular champion. I'm suprised they haven't done this with all the popular champs by now. I gave up believing Riot believed in a fair game, years ago.

You know the change to QQ sash was based on how it countered any champs ults that where a main part of the kit, it just so happened that Zed was one of them. Yes he gets an extremely large buff from this and I agree, now there is no counter play, but it would be worse to gimp one champ and not the other

Yeah... Because EVERYBODY was building item 3140 to counter the bursty AD assassin. -_-

The only ones building item 3140 and item 3139 are Marksmen. With the exception of Graves, none of them can afford to build tanky enough to survive Zed with or without his ult.

I hate Zed as much as the next squishy player, but I think the boards are blowing this particular change out of proportion.

I'm amused how everyone on Boards is infuriated about the QSS and Zed topics that have been spreading like wildfire, and even though I already hate Zed as an enemy, it's not like Riot only did it because of Zed...

QSS was able to completely counter champions that were heavily dependant on 1 ability and could virtually make them useless (Warwick and Malzahar being obvious victims of QSS )

If you're worried about Zed assassinating you, just counter by doing the exact same thing as how you would to any other assassin, stay in groups and provide CC and Peel.

Riven was popular too and they gutted her. Your argument is invalid.

Hey kalistas rend was the one cleansed too... should we flame on that too??? Balancing happens... Everyone was using qss when it wasn't even close to something they might scale on just for zeds ult... Now because everyone was missusing it us ADCs have to deal with kalistas rend...Thanks mid laners...
