@Riot Can we get an official statement from someone on the balance team about Zed?

Like honestly do you think he is in a balanced state?

I'm sure you have heard all the reasons why the delay on his ult ruins him and how it limits his decision-making and he is disgustingly reliant on so I won't go into that.

But now that the meta has changed and tanks are prominent, assassins are weaker in general. But you already know that.

Also now the changes to AP itemization makes much easier to get, and isn't that why you changed AP items? For situational picks, like against a Zed?

I understand that people want to play what they want and so they think Zed is OP when they pick AP into him but League is a competitive game and counterpicking is a huge part of it. I think that if you just want to play what you want when you want to you should reap the consequences (and rewards).

Honestly there is no longer any reward for mastering (a very mechanically complex champion) because he feels so gutted. I just think a lot of people would really appreciate an official opinion on his condition in the state of the current meta because I have been unable to find anything.

Thanks, and much love for LoL, Laz
