Why is Riot swinging the NERF BAT like they're blind-folded at a Pinata party??

They keep nerfing champions like Annie, LeBlanc etc. but for some reason a champion like Zed who has no counterplay for his ult, is untargetable, has ridiculous mobility, can do 1600 dmg from 1 combo at level 8 with 1 item, and for some reason that's considered balanced. Oh what about the samurai Yasuo who can block unlimited amounts of projectiles with wind he apparently pulls from his anus and gets a ridiculous shield every few seconds by walking around and unlimited retarded dashes-- and both of these chars have unparalleled harass. Oh but they are balanced.. let's nerf LeBlanc some MORE after we take away her silence, 50% of her ult damage, and hit her ratios even MORE. Oh let's nerf Annie since her spell range is absolute shit.

The Riot PINATA PARTY featuring the NERF BAT!

No counterplay for zed ult? What are you smoking? Zhonya's, QSS, exhaust, among others. Get real.

I'd say his shadows are more of an issue, if we want to talk about balancing.

Though it still perplexes me that midlaners never take exhaust. I get that ignite is good for a first kill secure and halves healing, but... exhaust is always useful, no matter how far behind you are. Not to mention the teamfighting utility.

Spoken like a true Zed player who doesn't want his baby nerfed. Zhonya isn't viable for every single char lol that's hilarious that that's your answer for the guy going from mid lane to your inner turret for 1600+ damage in 2 seconds +a kill, and getting back out without any problem or where anyone can catch him.

Gotta love these Zed fanboys who won't admit how OP he is.

Well If you preform the simple act of checking their match history you will actually find that neither of them are Zed players.

That's counterbuild not counterplay we've been over this

didnt matter when they gutted veigar. zhonyas/qss/banshees/GA/merc treds/merc scimitar/health/MR "tons of counterplay" - i just didnt build any of them but i got 1 shot anyway toxic must nerf the champ instead

zed has the same exact logic, you build around him and hes irrelevant or you go your standard squishy build and he outplays you and you couldn't do anything about it.

Counterplay = actions you take to.handle a champ. Counterbuild = items you build to.c unter a champ.

Similar but.not the same, though counterbuilding can be considered a part of.counter play

Leblanc is the new kassawin if played correctly almost impossible to kill

Annie i think plenty of people are tired of hearing "YAY TIBBERS" which has almost 0 counterplay because it is an instant cast

Yasuo requires a team to do well if he is the only knock up chances are he is not very noticeable from my experiences at least

Zed actually falls apart in the current tank meta zed has 1 reason for being on a team that is to pop 1 target if the only target he is able to pop is the ADC anthat ADC bulds a QSS or the team huddles around the ADC and anticipate Zed's moves what does zed do then he can't just walk in and do damage but i understand playing tanks is usually boring and he is not really fun to play against similar to leblanc he is really hard to kill but is gankable in lane if you can bait his W
