MY 3 YEARS OF ZED EXPERIENCE RANT - FOOK RIOT BALANCE TEAM!
I main zed with 4.3mill mastery. I play only zed because he is the ONLY champion in the entire moba genres that is actually fun, balance, skillful to play. I dont need to explain further, if you dont agree with me, name another champion like zed from every other moba in history thats even close to zeds mechanics.
The problem with zed right now is that riot gave him so many unnecessary nerfs that nobody asked for, causing zed to be useless in EVERY season. Starting in season 5, during the same time when i started playing zed i get stomped by tanks EVERY game, doesnt matter if im 12/3, all tanks need are 2 tank items like omen and sunfire and i will do no dmg to them. Moving into season 6-8, riot finally <removed by moderation> and made tanks the meta ALL WHILE giving zed more nerfs that NOBODY asked for, and whats more ridiculous? In order to appeal their game to a more younger audience ( new customers ), all the new champions they release has <removed by moderation> overloaded kit. They can have cc, dmg, heal in 1 skill all while with aburd amt of movement speed and shields that just made them unkillable, because..." we need to make these ez champions to appeal to 14/15 years old so they can feel good about themselves and get addicted to this game...imagine if they play zed, they will get frustrated of how difficult this champions is and quit the game in no time "...
The problem with zed since his debut is that he has too many counters, his ult can be cancelled by zhonyas, ga, exhaust, heal, barrier, cc, flash.
His dmg can easily be countered by armor making him losing EVERY trade when his opponent just goes ninja tabi, dorans, cloths.
His w has a 22sec base cd...can i ask why? Talon, lb, rengar, diana, fizz, etc...all have nonstop escape/gap closers with less than 10s cd. Why an assassin like zed needs to have 22? Meanwhile talon can jump threw walls nonstop, lb can change position nonstop, and rengar and jump nonstop while being invisible, but why only zed has 22s on his ESCAPE skill? Hes using his w to escape like a assassin, NOT to do dmg. Name another champion with gap closers that comes even close to 22s.
Even when zed does well in lane, his mid and late game just completely renders him useless because of zhonyas, gas, tanks, etc...and dont forget, CC. All it takes is 1 cc and zed will be done, because assholes in this game just wants to pick the most overpowered pieces of sh1t champ that has loaded cc. So even if zed gets meri tread, if he even gets hit by 1 cc, no worries, more cc will cc him once he is cc.
as if those werent enough, <removed by moderation> riot decided it would be good to introduce stop watch, which again, nobody asked for, everyone complained, and their response was, " ok...we are going to put a timer on that thing so you cant use it within the first 8min of the game... "....how about you fuking just remove that shit? Even you fuking admit its kind of op and nerfed the first 8min so why dont you fuking remove it from the game?
zed's entire kit can be countered, even when he is fed, his mid and late game makes him soft, which kind of balance out his fedness. Unlike 90% of other champions, when THEY are fed, its hopeless, unkillable all while having insane amt.
share your thoughts on the current state of zed
and are immune to any AP champion ?
or
isn't really balanced.
too,
just reached 55%,
is also almost at 54% and thats just the top of it.
at left 18, after 10 minutes (so I get rune boosts as well) building to counter Zed, with
I have 4659 base HP.
With
to give us the 40% CDR and 512 AD.
to counter my health stack. And in reality zed has access to
to escape CC and can always keep autoing after his ult goes off.
