So. That Zed buff.
OK. So the general thoughts I've seen so far regarding
and the QSS changes are ones of general outrage. And for a first reaction that is, well, entirely understandable. However, from what I've seen, the reasons behind this are pretty fair, if you take the time to consider them before you go grabbing your pitchforks and torches.
As of the moment, Zed is one of those champions that can be difficult to balance. Part of the reason behind this is the fact that QSS basically can make his ult useless. Since his ult isn't guaranteed to be of use, Riot has to balance around that, and keeping zed in a state where he isn't murdering but is still viable tends to get rather difficult. This change removes that whole factor from the equation, and now that it's gone, Riot will hopefully be able to make some genuine progress regarding putting Zed back in his place.
However. While these changes will hopefully put Zed on the road to manageability, I do think that immediate nerfs need to come with the QSS changes, because otherwise Zed will simply rampage even harder than he currently is. Are low ELOs gonna see significant changes? Maybe not. But the higher ones where people actually remember to BUY QSS against Zed are gonna see serious problems with him.
Riot. I'm not gonna pretend your balance team is as bad as everyone claims it to be, but really, yall need to put something in place with this to at least help curb his rampage in the meantime.
Thoughts?
and
useless, due to their reliance on their ults.
is going down significantly in the same patch. Food for thought.
