Balance (or lack thereof)

There is something incredibly unbalanced about a game where an adc cant go under a tower and finish someone off who needs 3 auto attacks.. But zed with no items at all can dive under a tower and take an adc from full health to 0 health in one shot then go back without taking a single shot from the tower..

That's because in a 30 min teamfight a decently farmed ADC with hurricane will deal like 10k damage if protected and just annihilate the enemy team while zed at best will do 3k and kill one person.

Games don't last 30 minutes when someone snowballs themselves and their team out of control. That's the point.

This problem isnt just with ADCs.. It's with mages or anyone else who is squishy..

A fed zed is going to roam after winning their lane.

Any cahmpion that forces an entire team to buy defensive items or pick certain champions to win is overpowered.

Which is why adcs don't go midlane and shouldn't ever have to deal with zed diving them 1v1? In the current meta a Zed is not very likely to win their lane as he can't really beat the rylai rush kite mages due to their strong waveclear.

Zed's not much better at diving top than most other midlaners and if he tries to dive bot when they're shoved up to their tower you need to have your jungler there and midlaner coming in. If your team doesn't do that and you get dived 4v2, lose the tower, lose like 12 cs, and dragon afterwards then your team is stupid and didn't deserve to win.

Literally any midlaner can do that if they have a reasonably tanky jungler who can pull tower aggro while they burst down botlane 4v2.

Being "forced" to buy hourglass isn't OP as any AD midlaner does that just like any AP toplaner "forces" you to buy SV or hex. It's just the most effective item against them and sometimes wins you the lane with 1 buy. Are you saying that having items that hard-counter you is OP?

And the adc isn't forced to buy a GA against zed as your support is probably running exhaust and your team has enough CC to just kill him if he ever yolo dives for you without trying to deal with your frontline first.

Every class has something they're good at and something they're bad at, ADCs are not good at towerdiving alone or 1v1ing people and they shouldn't ever be good at it.

Zed's ranked winrate is like 46% with 48% in diamond, he's nowhere close to being OP or even strong.

Midlaners roam, and Zed does the same thing to mages. I'm talking about roaming zed. If someone is playing zed and they don't periodically go down to bot to get 100% free kills .. then they aren't smart zed players.

If zed coming bot is a 100% free kill then you're bad. If he could actually do that his winrate would be way above 48% in diamond.

I wish people actually used their brain (if they had one) before making a QQ thread like this.

Ur looking at stats from the internet based on a group of people that have excessive amounts of experience with the game.. The majority of players are bronze silver and gold.. so What the few others do with him is irrelevant in this community.
