QSS Nerf = Zed Buff...?

tl;dr, the item 3140 and item 3139 active now **only removes cc effects **- does this mean Zed 's ulti can no longer be removed?

Specifically, I'm worried about this being a big threat to adcs. A half decent Zed player can already 1 hit the team's adc if they can't outplay him, and the outplay potential pretty much solely lies in buying a qss. While this pretty much makes Zed's ult useless against them, it's still a decent range gap closer and I honestly think Zed is a fair champion (maybe a little strong, seeing as his ban rate is nearly 50% across all ranked queues and regions - http://www.lolking.net/charts?region=all&type=bans&range=weekly&map=sr&queue=1x1&league=ranked)

So Rito plz, what is your though process behind this, and do you have plans to introduce some other sort of counterplay? item 3070 Caitlyn

Yes a buff for Zed, and Fiora, and Trundle, and any champ who applies some sort of non-CC debuff to a target.

Off the top of my head, this means Amumu passive, Brand passive, Braum passive (the stacks and the post stun bonus damage), Caitlyn bonus headshot range+damage, etc. along with any sort of armor/mr shredding effects will not be purged anymore.
