300 AD at level 16 isn't ridiculous. That's about normal for any AD-scaled offensive champion. And he's not receiving 75 AD for free, he's receiving ~40 bonus AD from his W. 104 base AD, 196 bonus AD, 80% of 196 means he built 157 AD from items, 39 from W.

And I haven't seen Zed assassinate tanks unless they were well below half HP or too far behind to call it a fair fight.

That bonus AD only effects his late game.

His late game is fine.

His problem is that he has no problem getting to late game.

The reason he has the bonus AD is because his W doesn't have any scaling otherwise, and that's a big problem for assassin design. If it didn't have the bonus AD, then his levels 14-18 would give him virtually nothing. So, in order to be useful, he has to have more power shifted into his other skills. This kind of thing is exactly the reason why Akali has such a huge midgame spike and such a shitty lategame (which is really, really annoying whenever Akali is strong). Giving Zed's utility skill a form of damage scaling avoids this problem.

It's good design, and power should be removed from other places in his kit before the W scaling. I'd take a look at his high degree of lane safety and/or his midgame roaming first.

Do people not know how to fight Zed? 300AD is your regular Yi, Yas, ADC, etc... He trolls AP mid because of their lack of INYOFACE response. Consider switching lanes with top if this happens. Top is always INYOFACE.

He doesn't get 25% bonus AD until lvl 18 which is in lategame and he's weak at that point unless ridicoulously ahead, Assassinate and kill are different things, the first one means that he goes in, does his thing boom dead, the second might be a little longer fight, aka duel, yes, if you open your eyes everybody that goes on damage with AA is a very good duelist and kill tanks easily, heck ADC do that on range and can completely wreck them.

I hardly believe Zed goes in a fight ulting the tanks and being actually able to kill it in less than 2-3 seconds as if it was a squishy.

Now Annie and Leblanc have much higher burst and able to instantly wtfpwn enemies that build tanky in a few seconds.
