Zed q into w change

Patch notes mention the change of zeds ability to q then follow up with a w for a much faster combo that is harder to avoid. By nature it sounds like it is an abusive sort but when you disect it, it is much harder to pull off reliably and burns through energy. Ontop of that you don't get the slow from using your E to ensure the hit. Riot has stated they are just cleaning up his code, but ninja nerfed a combo that has a good amount of burst when used correctly. I think zed has been put down too hard in the current meta and needs love, not this.

If any red sees this I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter, as someone who has practiced this combo, it feels bad to have it removed when It was rewarding when used correctly and punishable when not.

Here is an in depth explanation of the trick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Trgx4f50ss Let me know what you think.

TL:DR Ninja nerf the ninja for code sake, hoping from explanation and revert.

The combo enables a much faster shurikan to land than the normal E Q, but is harder to actually pull off. It doesent break the game, it just gives am assasin another tool in his belt to assassinate with. There was no need to remove it when we have things like Lee sin r flash combo or vayne condem flash. They are not intended but are left intact and create some awesome gameplay.

That combo actually makes no sense. You can cast E and Q then Flash and then throw your W which would extend it's range ridiculously. The shadow would land and instantly do E and Q since it was already pre-casted. You might not be able to do this combo but maybe a few pros would abuse it constantly.

They need to buff his W or ultimate.
