Patch 6.6
Zed

Actually, Zed is not even in the 6.6 patch notes.
Edit : I know the Vayne joke. Just tought he was nerfed in 6.6. Seems it's in 6.7, my bad.
When he gets nerfed, what are the already terrible, feeding every single game Zeds on my team going to do? Feed even harder?

Send them on a mission to Africa because they're about to solve world hunger.
Play Talon?

When he gets nerfed the flavor of the month noobs will stop using him and move onto something else.
That's if its a sufficient nerf. He needs a huge one.
I'm sure the enemy Zeds will still stomp my teams mid though.
Also... He got a hyper buff in 5.23 nerfed to still be a buff on top of it
Size reduced by 10%. Living Shadow Range increased to 700 from 600. Missile speed increased to 1750 from 1500. Minimum range lowered to 350 from 400. Death Mark Stored damage increased to 30 / 40 / 50% from 20 / 35 / 50%.
Which then was changed to: Stored damage reduced to 25 / 35 / 45% from 30 / 40 / 50%.
Still a buff early and 5% nerf isn't crap when thunderlords and duskblade in the game.
Who is even trying to prevent it... There was a red mercy video about the Zed nerfs but he was literally just talking about it, not trying to prevent anything. If anything most real Zed mains just want Zed to be nerfed so people stop picking him so often. The only thing that kind of worries me is that w nerf which will make his laning phase vs good players pretty difficult. But meh w/e I'll keep playing him because he is my favorite champion and the one I have the most fun playing.
P.S Pls stop making threads about Zed getting nerfed because we all know it is coming. Stop farming for up votes tyvm.

I mean I've seen a lot of Zed players saying Zed is fine and it's just salty mage players complaining about him, plus the standard "just get Zhonya's NOOB" posts.
You're right that they're probably just freelo abusers rather than actual Zed mains but still, there are a lot of people out there who are arguing against Zed nerfs.
He isnt broken.
Just that this meta, with new items made him OP.
Maw pretty much.
While low skill cap champs that synergize with Rageblade, Sated are broken. Those on hit effects went overboard fast.
Youmuus pushed him over the edge
Youmuu's and Maw. One for killing fast if up ahead slightly. The other for when having some issues.
Both changes to those items helped quite a good deal... perhaps too much.
def too much

He isnt broken. He doesnt deal all damage at once like say Talon (who is broken, too much burst for such a low skill cap, good thing he got some nerfs).
Other examples of Broken: Xin, Yi, Jax. Low skill cap, needs one item... an vuala OP.
Zed, however, is OP. Some items made him go overboard.
Now he still deserves nerfs, but he isnt Broken.
Still, though, he is over rated in skill cap. Yes he has a higher skill cap than most Assassins, but isnt as tricky as some might say.
To be fair, Yi is being forced to build bursty and squishy if he wants his E, otherwise he will lose it entirely if he builds bruiser.
Yes, but Q and passive + bruiser build is still very effective.
Kind of like Sated Tank Vi, Sated Tank Udyr, Sated Bruiser Jax, Sated Tower Shover Tank Trundle (no on hits but that atk speed). All have less burst, but still do lots of dmg overall.

lol this guy is actually right about zed..not the sated part..maw is the problem not zed
Well yeah, new season new item stuff, Zed all of a sudden OP.
I dont think Maw is broken, bit i do think it is too strong. Some possible solutions, nerf it or make an AP item that gives armor, mana regen or mana, and some AP (kind of like a Grail).
srsly plz stp typing lik dis.
/s
Riot isn't gonna do shit to Zed, look at what the fuck they did to Fiora. Nothing. You know what happened when Zed wasn't picked every game? Riot fucking buffed him after thunderlords was introduced, after they broke maw, after all this shit they decided to buff him. That's who Riot is. I can't wait for every Zed cockroach to start bitchin about how Zed is now balanced after Riot raises the energy cost on his W by 5 and make his Q do 50 more damage at lvl 1 to compensate.

Fiora has nerfs coming tomorrow?
nah, when half life 3 comes out
zed has ALWAYS been broken........... seriously. the only thing the season 6 changes did was force riot to realize this so much that they couldnt just slap LCS plays label on him to protect him like they have with lee sin
Who the fk would want to prevent that?! I'd nerf that person aswell!
Still shitty compared to season 2 Kassawin 99.9% pick/ban and Ezreal appearing in 72% of games while being the top winrate adc.
He's strong, not broken, nor is he 'freelo'. Don't be so butthurt.
With that being said, I'm a Zed main, I play him in 90% of my games, and I have been dying for him to get nerfed for a while now. Hate people picking him up just because he's strong, atm he's constantly picked or banned and it's frustrating as a true Zed main. At the end of S5 and early S6 he was never talked about and I don't believe I ever saw one until Riot buffed him, then released Duskblade. I want Zed to go back to that state. Playable, but not spammed nor too strong.

well, the guy has a point. Zed isn't inherently broken, the S6 items made him broken. Still needs a nerf tho

I mean they've nerfed a dozen or so champions who got made significantly stronger by season 6 changes, so why should Zed get special treatment? If DOT mage players can suck it up...

Karthus wasnt even noticeable stronger...
When I main support, picked up Zed on my alt, and could easy "skill" (see invisible /z on skill) my way around the game, I knew either I was secretly OP (which I'm not) or Zed was.
1st ,if it was free elo you 2 would abuse it 2nd ,free elo till qss/zhnoya and u play withour R
im biased towards nerfs ,but free elo means 100% winrate.which is nonexisted and full of crap ppl which cry only.

i cant abuse something I dont own 6300 ip doesnt come easily m8
so if you dont own him why shit talk?
Am I the only one who rarely has a Zed stomp a game completely past 25 minutes? After that time he is basically negated with exhaust/zhonyas/QSS. It seems that most low tier players really can't figure him out and just end up freely losing for no reason.

I rarely have zeds stomp my games period, atleast in plat they dont

Yeah in my plat games they get negated by 20 mins by zhonyas, try to roam, get 1 kill on the ADC then the ADC just buys QSS and its GG zed.
I dont know man, zeds in my games are pretty shit to be honest. They bring no utility or CC to the team and if they get ass raped and cant get fed then they are just completely useless. Atleast if someone like orianna or lux feeds, i feel like they can still be useful.
