"Why Does Everyone Play Zed", is a question I see asked a lot.

Answer; he's too forgiving, and has a pretty toxic kit to play against.

You can't zone a Zed, first off. He can safely farm at his tower using his Shadow with Q+E. You can't shut down a Zed, his W gives him free bonus AD and acts as a flash on a lower cooldown. You can't stop Zed from diving a carry and assassinating him/her unless your team is willing to blow most of their CC/Ultimates/Summoners You can't stop Zed from spam harassing you with W+Q and W+E. Due to his incredibly low energy costs and how easy it is for him to restore energy, he essentially is a resourceless caster.

I don't know how to balance him, but I do know from a general consensus that his kit and him as a champion (Zed) is extremely toxic and counter-intuitive.

Riot, you've nerfed and reworked other champions for having kits with little to no counterplay, such as Veigar and Lux... so why is Zed remaining as he is?

anyone who thinks or has ever thought that lux kit had 0 to no counterplay needs to uninstall this game for being low elo and bad

if you buy 2 mr items ANY 2 mr items you are completely invincible to her burst and can facetank the entire thing

PS: in real elo everyone including the adc probably have 2 mr items so enjoy not hurting anyone

Punish him while his W is on cooldown after clearing the wave under turret then. It's a 22 second cooldown, not 5.

The same reason people play LeeSin.

He's just fun to play.

Prepare for all the downvotes from the community. Everyone loves Zed. You might as well bitch about Ekko or something, since that will get all the thumbs up.

Zed is more of a problem, he does too much damage for how safe he is and how he has the biggest outplay potential in the game.
