Zed projectile fix/buff

Zed has always been a great character, but recently with so many buffs to so many characters that counter assassins like him, I'd say he's due for a buff that would improve his ability to make plays without directly effecting any of his damage.

When zed swaps to a shadow, all spells and attacks that were locked on target will follow him through his swap, regardless what is - this includes, but is not limited to:

  • Targeted projectile spells
  • Targeted melee spells
  • AoE templates
  • Ranged attacks
  • Melee attacks

Essentially anything that was shot at him during the short cast window of his swap will follow him through space and time to hit him perfectly when he changes places.

This creates a lot of frustrating gameplay when a hecarim that just charged, and is standing on top of your shadow leaves you stunned or dead on the opposite side of the screen

I understand that this would be a significant change, but adding a small 0.2 second window of untargetable during the cast of his swap would allow the character to really make plays and dodges with this shadows, instead of just being able to bend cait bullets at a sharp 90 degree angle.

Edit: also all those swag dodges in the PROJECT cinematic would have been impossible with the current zed design. Update for realism plox.

No need.

Zed is fine as he is now. Point is that Assassins are meta dependent class. If meta is built around them they are going to shine, if not, they are going to fall out of favor.

Currently, Zed may nit be the best pick out there but it doesn't means he won't be a top tier mid lane assassin in next season or even next few patches tho. Same goes for every other assassin. Look at Katarina, everyone QQed about her just a few patches ago, her nerfs weren't that big and yet I see her once in 30 games now, and even when she's picked she's not even as nearly OP as she used to be, which again...doesn't mean she wont be a roflstomper again once meta changes in her favor.
