From what i've read... I don't think Zed himself is the problem.
Before you people hang me try to hear my out for a second.
Riot knows what they are doing with the nerfs to
by stopping his tank shredding cheese and his tower wreckage.
The problem is not him, his damage, or his kit. He does what he is supposed to do.
The problem is ENERGY, his pool that reaches 200 before his cooldowns even reset, allowing effective
to spam their harass and finish wih a R E AA Q AA E combo. I think Energy itself needs to be reworked, for instance if it recharged slower than it does, but back to it's normal rate if you are standing still. This would make it easier to harass assassins while they recharge their energy if they want to get it back in a faster rate. This would also be more immersive to assassins since they are SUPPOSED to sit in shadows and wait before striking.
That idea is a bit silly yeah but is a start. Any ideas?
(Another thing is, that mana regen items could be buffed. But I dont like the idea of fighting fire with fire.)
