That's a bad change for Zed, I think it will ruin this balanced champion.
Zed's Q is a very risky ability, which needs a long time practice to enhance the accuracy, zed is afraid of any kind of control like stun and knock up.
(In addition:
)
The only good thing is he can switch back to the original place by recasting R, now u set 1 sec delay for this, how can we play this champion like a so called assassin?
I 'd prefer the old design of R, place a shadow behind the target, it will enhance QE's damage and slow effect, if you really don't want me to escape, at least I can get a kill!
I tested this change, as a zed main, I can only say I feel disappointed with Riot, if u say the others have no time to react(kat,fiora,talon&etc will let u react?), u already changed W make it slower, then R have less damage and harder to control target(old R will 100% slow the target by E) when u decide to place a shadow on original place rather than behind the target.
In this league of tank, assassin is very hard to get advantages in team fight. This change will make this champion harder and harder to use.
On the other side, zed is very hard for new player, then you aim at the zed mains, 1 sec will make him cannot survive in team fights.
Last but not least, I just can't understand the designer always said Zed is a good example for balanced assassin, when I saw you said this I think alright, well, if you won't nerf zed anymore, that's fine. Then, what did you DO??? that's a BIG NERF!!!!
I lose all of the hope,I feel heart broken and disappoint with this game.
