What exactly made Gameplay boards start poking at Zed? Cause last time I checked, you guys would downvote any thread that even mentioned Zed three weeks ago, now it's "Gut Zed" threads being upvoted. What caused this? The new item?
xJLGx2 votesthey complain about anything with burst even though its mostly low elo players where the kids cant play zed anyways so they are 2x as bad lmao
Nahui2 votesLow ELO (All of boards) doesn't like taking blame. Either they lost and died to Zed because he was better and out played them, or he did it because he's OP and broken and there was nothing they could do.
Of course, it's obviously the latter.
WalkingInACircle2 votesHe got buffed? Twice? And then given an itemization upgrade.

Buffed twice in the last three weeks?
Where?
V5.9 Zed can't teleport back to his Death Mark shadow instantly.
"Another one of the League's flashiest champions, Zed isn't well known for letting his opponents get a word in (let alone a single spell-cast) once he's marked them for death. Now even the most unsuspecting of prey has a small window to throw a wrench in Zed's plans before he vanishes to safety."
DeathMark.png R - Death Mark EMBRACE THE SHADOW Now has a 1 second cooldown before it can be reactivated to return to Death Mark's shadow. V5.2 Less attack speed all around.
"In the v5.1 notes, we mentioned Zed as a good example of what we refer to as a "Healthy Assassin" - but that doesn't come without its own set of balancing woes. To help bring Zed in line with other champions while preserving his power as a competitive option, we've looked toward his strengths outside of pure assassination - in this case, attacking his ability to split-push by lowering his attack speed.
Zed's pattern of poking from a distance and waiting for the moment to strike is layered with counterplay and complexity. That is, up until his AD items remove the need for his spells, allowing just a few auto-attacks to seal your fate. With a base and scaling attack speed rivaling that of Xin Zhao and Tryndamere, Zed's auto-attacks were as much a menace to champions as they were to towers. He'll still be effective in a side-lane due to his strengths in 1-v-1 duels, but taking power here allows us to keep his damage output focused in landing spells and using combos effectively."
General BASE ATTACK SPEED: 0.658 ⇒ 0.644 ATTACK SPEED GROWTH STAT: 3.1 ⇒ 2.1
If anything, he's been nerfed. So I ask again, what is making Gameplay Boards pick on this champion now?
WalkingInACircle1 votesWhat?
V5.23 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%.
Naturally it took people a bit to catch on to how much this upgraded him. But he is now the most played midlaner in the game.

And what exactly caused him to be suddenly the most played midlaner if these buffs were all the way from 5.23? Cause threads complaining about Zed were still getting downvoted.
Lephogam1 votesZed has low risk/ high reward with his w/ult. Other than that he is fine.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesPracticing for when the seemingly broken AD DFG is released.
Lugg1 votesI'm guessing the fact that he can now 100-0 a fed Tahm has something to do with it.

Mat7itan1 votesBecause even now no one knows how to beat him, and let me tell you it is very easy to do.
