The simplest fix to push Zed in line

He's a tricky Champ to master and you should certainly feel good about playing him. Unfortunately even with the assassin update his victims still feel rather helpless against him as his ult is too unstoppable. You can't counterplay it as an adc other than hoping bard, zilean, or the like stop it for you. Mages do have zhonyas but pressing zhonyas while he ults you isn't the best way to counterplay.

The fix I suggest is that if the target that zed is ulting kills zed before his ult pops, his ult does not pop.

"But how is Zed's ult going to kill people now?" Do the damage and tele back after you do the proper damage and after the delay.

"Now its becomes more difficult to come back when behind as Zed" The skill area of zed revolves around the shadows and warping between them, I believe this is enough of a skill floor to allow for a nerf.

The general idea is to stay alive to assassinate someone. All the other assassins have to do it, (yes I know the new talon has a good bleed) but Zeds gameplay identity is all about the shadow play not a hailmary to go kill some kid.
