Zed thoughts?

I'm noticing a trend with people suggesting nerfs to these champs. Most people don't really understand their Kits.I mean the most common thing I heard about Zed was he can towerdive easily. And have no consequences for doing so. I think most people are still under the impression that a tower is basically home. And it shouldn't be able to dive so easily. We were taught growing up that a tower means safety and when that safety is gone we get mad because it goes against the "rules" we grewup with.

Yasuo for nerfed pretty hard over the last few patches. 4 to 2 dashes, shield lowered,no flow gained from W,Movement speed,Q increased to 1.8,HP nerfs. And yet I'm still hearing people to Nerf him. Zed and Yasuo have pretty easy time farming. And people keep saying its not fair. Well mid lane has the most ranged mid laners going against AD melee. Top has Ryze,Lissandra,Swain,Vlad,Kayle. While mid lane has Leblanc,Ziggs,Ahri,Annie, Anivia,Cassepiao(Too lazy to spell her name right),Azir,Ezreal,Karma,Karthus,Lulu,Lux. You get the idea, with so many I think we should think its at least fair to farm while being AA from far.

I believe Zed Is at a good place right now ,but over the last few weeks people who are saying Nerf him are usually gold and lower, I'm Gold 5 so I can't talk but 9/10 threads are usually asking ridiculous things such as Setting a time on Zeds ult to switch,Q being only one person hit, taking away his W passive. And please I don't want to hear that "But the Koreans always ban it! Well no shit its a high skilled champion that's being played within the top 200 players. And every time I see someone demanding video evidence of Zed being OP they ALWAYS pick Faker highlight. Like its fucking FAKER. FAKER , he literally played 200 games as Zed when he first came out, so please don't link me any of those highlights. I normally don't comment or post on boards because most people on here are people who play usually do for fun. I usually stick to Reddit but after everyone voicing their opinion I feel like I needed to make a post and try to defend some of the qualities that make AD mid laners. Being outplayed is a key aspect with these kind of champions. Zed ,Yasuo, Riven. No1 likes to get outplayed so when they do they get mad , and please if I kill you its not because * stupi champ , roti pls nerf*.
I usually go on Reddit and I saw a few Zed posts and most people agreed with the fact that's he's really balanced ,ik not saying everyone is bad but the people making posts about nerfing him are I'm decent elo. And most people on Reddit are a bit higher elo. I'm gold but what do i know. Thanks for reading, please post any reasons hr should be nerfed. Thanks!

In my opinion, he's a little too strong. Not OP, but stronger than he should be by a bit. Yea, a common complaint is that he can tower dive easily without consequence, and yea, you have a point that towers are NOT home. But they should offer protection up until around level 11 in my opinion, unless you're being dove by a tank. Zed however, can do it at level 6 against most champions, without poking them down in some cases. For me, his problem is his high damage being on a short cooldown while being limited by energy, a resource that you can regain by waiting several seconds. A thought I had was maybe instead of him doing damage twice if he hits an enemy with a shadow q/e along with his own q/e, it would just lower the cooldown along with regaining energy. I dunno, just my thoughts.

I mean its 6 sec CDR, like that's a bit high considering most mages build CDR and naturally have scaling CDR by leveling abilities.I don't think there's be much use if your idea gets implanted then, why would I W Q? If it still does the same damage, but you are right he can tower dive easier than most champs. But the champs that can dive aren't getting 100 posts made everyday. Fizz can W+Q AA and then E out from tower. LeBlanc can W in and get out if you press it almost immediately.
