I dont understand why Riot is buffing stuff like Zed...

Instead, how about you fix the actual problem with the game : Ardent censor windspeaker ADCs running around clicking people with their bird brain gameplay.

As if adding .014 attack speed to zed will make him all of a sudden be able to survive 3 auto attacks from Twitch

Because if Zed can win his lane early enough he can roam bot lane and kill the twitch and take his turret before Twitch can scale hard enough to kill him in 2 autos?

The problem with Zed is that he is one of the few assassins that are actually kind of bad in lane along with like Kassadin but he lacks the mobility and scaling that Kassadin gets. Obviously a good one trick zed will prove me wrong here but in general Zed players don't manage to win their lanes the way Talon or Fizz or Ekko do because zed is way too reliant on his ult early on to outplay mages.

Funny you say that , few weeks ago I had a zed on my team who was 11-5 won his lane pretty well with some decent roams. Then in teamfights around 35 mins everytime he ulted the twitch , the enemy soraka would just drop the silence field under the twitch and the twitch would just stand there and right click.

At first i was gonna type to the zed and tell him to stop throwing. But then i stopped in my tracks and just thought, wow what would I even do in his shoes? You shouldnt have to be LL stylish or Faker just to play that shit when the opposition is some mediocre twitch / soraka gameplay and feel free to substitute soraka for janna/lulu or X windspeaker support. Substitute twitch for tristana or X hypercarry right clicker.

TLDR the zed buffs dont accomplish much IMO and just push more power into a champ that might for once be in an ok spot.

I miss old, ie zed pre last whisper nerfs /ghostblade nerfs. Back then zed, would build something like Bork, ghostblade last whisper, infinity edge and finish his build with ga or something. Old ghostblade gave 15% crit so zed would have 35% crit, which combined with bork and old lw and a bit of resists from ga would allow zed to pretty much 1 vs 1 anyone, even the tanks.

Thats great and all but the point of the thread wasnt to talk about zed "good days" when he murdered every 1 but rather the serious problem in league of a certain line of marksman

I already made a thread earlier today about crit items only to get it downvoted. Thing is crit items are just way too cheap right now compared to everything other than support items, which in turn allows these hyper carries to reach carry status a lot quicker than they should be. I was okay with season 3 season 4 adcs when they needed like 5 items to become the lategame carries that they are known for, but Im not okay with them power spiking at 3 items, which are frankly cheaper than defensive items.

Zed can still 1v1 anyone, you just need to correct build.

What you're talking about has nothing to do with Zed at all. I think you should change your title because people will think you just want to discuss about Zed's recent buffs on PBE, when you are actually complaining about Twitch and Support items.

Because this next patch is solely about pro players, it has nothing to do with us. Zed is fun to watch, so he needs to be good enough to be played in world's.
