Yeah, I know it was. I went along with it.

Zed is in an interesting spot. His early-game is extremely oppressive, especially when he hits level 6, and he's really easy to kill people with just because of the way his ultimate interacts with people. Being gated by nothing but energy and dealing so much damage in the early-game makes him an incredible champion, and all you really need to do to succeed is stack armour penetration.

That said, Zed has this interesting skill cap where, if you're not a good player, Zed is an OK pick, but there are better ones because you're not very good with Zed, but if you're a great player, there are better picks than Zed because if you have the mechanics, there are far stronger choices than Zed. That said, if you're better than your opponent but you're a middle-of-the-pack player, Zed is an incredibly strong pick, and whenever I pick him personally, I can't help but laugh the entire time I'm playing him because it doesn't seem like a challenge when I use him. It just feels like a massacre and I don't really deserve the score I'm getting because I could be playing a better champion and actually feeling rewarded for getting that score.

Make sense?

So you're saying that even if you're 10-0 you don't feel like you're really that ahead?

Oh no, I feel ahead, I just don't feel like I've earned the 10/0.

Not true. Zed does a lot of aoe damage and has great picks. Champions like Shaco, on the other hand...

a 10-0 shaco can instakill anyone he chooses in a second.

also every other assassin being 10-0 almost automatically win the game just because they don't have delay on their damage and also lack any kind of counterplay, zed on the other hand can still be up against a team with tanks or janna/lulu while the mid and ADC get qss and zhonyas.

personally if I had to pick a 10-0 assassin to play against it would be zed rather than fizz,talon,akali,diana,shaco,kha etc
