Toxic by definition: 8.7% play rate and 53% win rate.
Buffs, seriously riot? When and where do you draw the line? 10%/55%? Would that be enough to constitute rethinking somewhat and reversing course?

Even if he has a god winrate, that doesn't mean he's OP. He's just good in SQ, sort of like WW because it's easy to pounce on mistakes with those champions. In competitive, both are not so good and same in top Challenger. So what you're complaining about should be more related to the mistakes which let Zed thrive rather than him being objectively strong.
Data is ranked from plat and higher. You're moving the goalposts.

The only goal post for objective balance is optimal play. Since you have only so many Challenger level games, of course we have to use data from lower too but I don't think Zed is considered too strong at the highest levels. Thus, he's fine objectively.
The only "optimal play" you're achieving is for Zed. That's far from objective or balanced.
