Zed Balance idea
As seeing the community in Gameplay section complain so much about
,i want to personally offer some balance possibllities.
First i want to address his clear strenghts:
Strong at every stage of the game-while most champions shine is certain time input in the game,
scales best at every single second.
Poke-Manaless poke at high damage,however damage falls off if shot through a unit.
Range-Combined with his Living shadow,he got the range to almost outrange the highest of the poke mages,includes Safety.
Mobility-Living shadow and Death mark give him the possiblities to run away,outplay,outsmart his opponets via insta teleport,also goes into the Safety category.
Death mark-reffered to as "Cancer",this spike of lv6 gives him advantage over most opponents,easily defeating them with a surprise attack at lv6,which forces his opponents to rush certain items.
Wave clear-can instantly clear waves by mashing keyboard WEQ at no cost,of which Assassin shouldn't really have.
cant be denied-no matter the situation,he can always farm safely.
Weaknesses:
Hard cc-You don't fucking say Unknown but listen,hard CC counters Zed a little more than we think,if you can land it in the right time,you can block his mobility,and/or make his Death Mark almost useless.
Items(QSS,HOURGLASS)-Just like
gives you Cancer,these 2 items give Cancer right back to
,being able to shut down his ultimate,however they cost alot of gold and got unreliable build paths.
Avoiding Shurkiens-This dramatically reduces Death Mark's damage,it is hard but possible,usually easy if the
is retarded,or using mobility spells.
Full Tank Team-play full Tank including your adc stack armor and
cant do anything.
Solutions?
1.Without nerfing damage,we can lower his waveclear by making E damage apply only to champions,just like
's W.
2.Remove the base damage from Death Mark,allowing us to buff the percentage damage dealt,making him rely on spells combos rather than just point and click,with the rework of qss this seems pleasant.
3.make his passive apply only to champions,this means
will actually need to use brain and not be the easiest champion in the game to last hit with.
I think other changes will hurt his identity too much,but im looking for more.
