Zed's absolutely disgusting...

I practically never play Zed ever in normals nor in rankeds cause, tbh, I hate him along with Lee Sin...Seeing as how he's always played and is currently ridiculous with Duskblade atm, took him into Ranked cause Idk, my other mid champs weren't turning out too well.

First game I got dumped on by a Swain. Second game we end and I somehow manage 10-0 score because Karma decided a Luden's was more important than Zhonya. Every game after that in which I play Zed mid, my score is nearly A-S rank and I'm really not even good at him. Late game where it matters the most..they literally need to either Flash away (like ASAP), have Zhonya available, and/or have QSS/Mercurial. Even then, the R damage proc wont be the bulk of the damage, but it'll make sure anyone that's not a tank is probably dead. That is, if you don't get the opportunity to do more than E->Q->auto which potentially just kills any squishy...

Duskblade (item 3147) just makes him gross. If his ult interaction with Duskblade is that it takes Duskblade's missing hp% proc into account when determining the R-pop damage, that's probably why he does a ridiculous amount of damage currently. Like...He's freelo against anyone that decides QSS or Zhonya isn't important to rush or get very soon. I'm feeling the only reason people like Talon with it more is because Talon, while less safe, can't be QSS'd. The duskblade proc can, but...Yay for constantly deleting the adc (and most likely dying if you fail). But I'm probably wrong since I'm not even gold.

In any case, how about they make it so Zed's ult doesn't take Duskblade's Nightfall damage into consideration when it pops? (If it does, I mean).

You're low silver. You can play anything and get fed. Zed is really hard in actual competitive elo.

Zed is fine he has counter play, Duskblade makes him strong.

Well. I guess it's Riots fault... You guys have learned.. everything with counterplay is good, everything without is bad... They could make a Champ with 7.0AP+AD-Scaling and you guys would defend him as long as it can be negated with zhonyas.. muh counterplay...

For real dude, which other Champion forces 9 out of 10 Champions to rush a certain Item or die over and over again?

Cute story, come back when you get Master tier with Zed. Silver 4 games are meaningless when it comes to balance or gameplay, also, so far you are 2 wins, 2 losses with Zed, nothing special.

Also, Duskblade is garbage item on Zed.

Every time I see a Zed rush Duskblade first item, I die a little inside.

Like I said, I'm not even good at Zed lol. From my experience, Duskblade just makes him sillier than he is.

The point was that Duskblade rush on Zed is garbage. Nearly any of his other items are better to rush first.

For the 3rd time, I'm not good at Zed...But Duskblade is particularly cheap for the high damage and even more 'you're dying' that it provides. Hell, it even gives MS (for some reason?) and ARPen.
