Zed is the most Overrated Champion
People keep talking about Zed as though he is this Godly No Skill Insta Win champ.
The reality is much different though. More often than not the Zed on your team turns out to be useless unless he snowballs (and even if he does, he's often irrelevant because of his terrible late game).
Its not too hard to just sit back and farm and just avoid the all ins.
His late game is absolutely trash tier. The mage buys a Zhonya and he loses his Ult. When people group together, there is too much natural CC to the point where he can't do anything because he has to get close to try and kill and he'll just be deleted for being so squishy. If he torpedoes himself to take a carry down with him it gives his team no real advantage. Also, picking Zed screws up your team comp because you have 2 AD carries and less AP; you could instead have had a proper mid Mage who has utility and damage late into the game. Zed's AOE and poke is sub-standard.
He takes way too much practice for far too little pay-off. Why even play him when you can instead play Annie and go F + R + Q + W+ Ignite for 100-0s without fail? Zed's combos are unreliable as hell (miss 1 Shrunken and your Thunder Lords isn't going to activate). His ''escapes'' are rarely available since you need to blow your shadows and your Ult to close the gap half the time and even then your assassination can be stopped by some kind of a CC or by the enemy's unexpected movement. Meantime, I'd take an Annie combo + Zhonya (for team follow up) anytime.
What do you think? Zed over-rated?
