so in the recent patch they fixed the bug where zed would qw right after each other and the q will travel along with the shadow. now dont get me wrong in essence it was certainly(t) a bug, but it was in for a long time and allowed an additional way to trade with the enemy. it was a higher risk trade with a higher reward if you actually manage to land it. mainly because you chuck down about half you energy in one shot and if you miss, a lot of damage is missed and a lot of lane pressure is lost due to it. and his e mechanic is basically the same as the qw. the point being is that the qw was another interesting mechanic that was part of the game for a long time and i believe it should make a comeback. so yea can i get some thoughts/concerns on this mechanic?

Was just not intended by riot, I still think it wasn't THAT gamebreaker itself, so not rly important, just a cool thing u might use sometimes.

Let me ask you something:

The standard WQ combo allows the opponent to read you (since the shadow zones them, and they must pay attention to it as well as you), but does the QW combo allow the same level of counterplay or is it just a way for you to land a surprise skillshot with a less likely chance of them avoiding it?

In other words, it's fun for you (the Zed player), but is it fun for the opponent?
