Zed is a late game champ now? O.o

He's always been strong late game. That 20% extra AD is a big deal.

I use to play a lot of Zed so i'm going to give my two sense in why this happened.

With how items got reworked, AD builds, especially the best AD builds are very expensive. Also Riot gave Zed some heavy nerfs to his early game. So with the fusion of ad item reworks and zed nerfs, Zed players probabbly don't feel comfortable about going ham untill they hit a later point in the game.

I think his q damage increase at 2 shurikens was a huge boost

He 1v1d me as 4 item lucian while all he had was ghostblade and a maw. So I really don't know.
