The heck is this shit? 40% ban rate?! On a 46% winrate champion. Why does Zed have the same ban rate as Cait which I am going to admit may be a tad strong.

Edit: Just looked at Fizz. Now that shit's funny

Also on an interesting not his ban rate is inflated by Plat and below for some reason. The 18% in diamond I can understand because there are quite a few people that don't like him but 40%? Isn't this kinda overkill? As for the people who are going to call me a Zed main I played him I think mabye 3 times since I started playing league.

Zed has the power to delete anyone he choses if he does even decent. Usually there's only one person on each team doing well at the start, until jungle/teamplay comes into play.

I guess people, usually noobs who can't ward or build qss, don't like having their only well-preforming teammate being shut down by one click

I've been playing blood moon alot and I really don't see it. I mean like the only thing he has over other assissins and bursty champs is he can reach the back line a bit easy. Other than that I don't see much of a problem with zed.

Honestly Zed's been "not strong" for a while. If he gets fed he's a pain, but not as much as he used to be.

He's a bitch to lane against if you're not good at mid (or just get tilted against Zed).

This is only because of small zed nerfs and certain item removals. But the implement of new items has made late game zed just as deadly as ever. It just takes him longer than it used to get the ball rolling

I think its more that when he wins it doesn't feel like there is any counterplay. He just isn't in a good spot right now, he either feels useless to play as or you feel useless while playing against him, there really is not in between.

Oh welp, I just started this game for the first time since season 4 a month ago. I've already been reminded of why I left and am leaving again.

Or... both? People ban because a champion is either powerful/meta or they just don't like playing against that champion. That's how it's always been.
