Would it be gamebreaking for zed ult to ignore shields?

I go to ult a squishy as it is my job. thresh/bard uses locket. and additional shields. what am I supposed to do? be useless for 60+ seconds?'

I feel like. Fizz talon and other assassins have enough burst to kill a locket adc. zed isn't doing to well. and this buff will not affect any lanes that do not have shield. which are not that many. its just a late game buff against possibly ad carries.

as a single target ult. I think it would be fair to have it break shields and ignore them. the fact is there are way too many champions that have a shield built in+ locket. thats over 1k of effective health plus the mastery. probably more due to armor increase + heal

somehow as a zed you're supposed to go through 3k effective adc hp.

Got outplayed by a simple point and click spell/item while am normally supposed to land multiple skillshots on the target regardless of shields or not. whoop de doo. can't do anything about that.

zed ult is not

CC or AOE. or has a large base damage (zed's ult base damage is an auto attack).

Yes it would be game breaking. Shields are a counter play. If the zed ults in a situation where the enemy he is ulting can shield or be shielded then he messed up and does not deserve to get a free kill simply because he pressed R.

So you think it makes more sense to require the person being ulted to do even MORE outplay instead of having the one ulting do the outplay? lol. No dude, you aren't gonna get freelo by having an ult that ignores shields, that is stupid. Learn cool downs, learn how to bait shields and then go in. If you can't ult someone using timing then you deserve the drop down to Gold that we both know is coming (You have Gold 4 MMR and have that warning above your rank)

Or... you could bait out the cds first and then disengage, wait for shadow to come back up and actually engage. Everyone else has to work around those cds, why should Zed be exempt?

bait out with my WEQ and then get fucked by someone engaging on me while I have no mobility?

by everyone who do you mean?. locket has always been a counter to assassins. as sustained damage doesn't care.

also why would the enemy use it before I ult tho?.

If my full combo. triple shuriken. E auto and ignite. can't kill an adc because of shields then this is just fucked. do you know how hard it is to land a triple shuriken anyway?. meanwhile point and click and bye.

If a Zed walks up to a carry and looks threatening he will bait cds. You also are supposed to use W to disengage when you bait... use item 3142 or something else if you want to make the fake all-in look realistic; get creative.

Because you're Zed and you're exerting pressure which they think will kill onto their damage source. Get into their head.
