Thank you for introducing the stop watch rune, I just have to wait 7 fucking minutes to use it lol
Oh also Zed still doesn't have any fucking counterplay
Theres a reason he is sitting at a 50-% wr with 2 nd most picked. He can dumpster any mid laner . ESPECIALLY ap ones.
*Builds 
* Proceeds to win every trade. "Zed is balanced lolo what do you mean?"
Edit- Yes please downvote me when statistically I'm right [sg-lulu]
Dope Solo3 votesZed is one of two completely broken shitpiece champs that riot either doesn't have the balls or ability to fix. The other one is 
Vargrjalmer1 votesi dont even care about yasuo's crit, i dont even care about the fact that he has infinite lowcooldown dashes and has no mana that FUCKING PASSIVE SHIELD is what kills me, some cahmpions just can't get past it
Bronze 6 Yasuo2 votesYes. I'm a mage so I should try and fight zed even though he is an assassin and I know he will out trade me so I'm going to walk up and trade anyways.
If zed ults you, press zhonyas and you just made zed useless and now he doesn't have his ult for 100 seconds. Smart zed players won't even try to ult you as soon as you finish zhonyas so I suggest you farm safely and wait till you get . Remember that you are always more useful in team fights than zed if you play someone like 
, so just play safe and don't feed him before you get a so you become relevant like him. 
also counters him
If 
is so op, why was malzahar and other immobile assassins picked instead of him?
Succubús GF2 votesThat's the thing he should have a bad lane phase if he has a good post 6, and chances are you wont have zhonyas AT 6.
Zed literally is the second most picked mid laner hello?
Bronze 6 Yasuo2 votesHe does have a bad laning phase.
Take a break. You're on a loss streak and it's obvious that you're tilted.
Succubús GF2 votesHe doesn't though. Any mage gets royally screwed by him, in fact his w, double q e auto ignite is as cheese as talon's lv 2.
I would probably do better if I played champions who thrive right now but w.e
Bronze 6 Yasuo1 votesYes. If he's fed.

this is literally the dumbest fucking response given. These new runes cater so hard to zed. 22 armour and he can start with a mini hexdrinker.
You get what? a stopwatch that can be used once? Zeds ult timer is less than an hourglass.
Not to mention NO ONE has armour runes.
He can just rush a duskblade and shit on your entire hopes of laning by landing a single auto attack.
a 5 minute cooldown counters him? Please, find some ground to stand on with that argument.

Exhaust is not on a 5 minute cooldown. It's lower.
Stop watch is more than enough to stop zed from snowballing. If he roams, tell your team.
Most champs got armour stat buffs.
If he rushes duskblade instead of , he will be very squishy.
Mages can start with a mini hexdrinker too since it scales with 0.2 AP.
Mages didn't get armour stat buffs because pro play are perma picking mages over AD assassins and this change may help AD assassins get back in pro play.
Succubús GF3 votesZed hits 6 before stop watch is allowed just btw..
Bronze 6 Yasuo1 votesSo don't walk up to him. Make him use his w to be able to get in ult range. If he uses his w to get in ult range with you he won't have enough burst to kill you with one combo unless you fed him, so play smart and don't feed him. If he uses flash to ult you, flash right after he lands to mess up his combo.

Don’t walk up to him? So sit 2 towers away from him? His range is insane. Not to mention he instant bursts after his r and teleports back to safety.
I say to make this garbage fire champ balanced they should either remove the ability to teleport back to his r shadow, or put some stipulation on it. Like, the enemy you ult HAS TO DIE in order for it to be teleported back to.
Lux ˉ Bot2 votesHere's a thought: Zed was never fun to play against. I don't think Riot has said once that this mess is balanced. Once the dust settles, riot will bring balance changes to fix everything before the ranked season starts.
ZedUsanGovos2 votesRiot actually did say Zed was balanced-- in fact, they also stated he was the healthiest assassin. The perfect thematic, perfect kit, and perfect numbers. Try again.
Lux ˉ Bot1 votesnot talking about zed's balance. "I don't think Riot has said once that this mess is balanced."
Anatera1 votesIt's not surprising really. Assassins were always quite popular. Now that they're basically faceroll lethality stackers, people are going to take advantage of it. It might be boring, but people are usually more concerned with winning than fun.
Lord of Math1 votesHe is pretty fun vs bard because you just need to wait until level six to counter his ult, and thanks to your passive, you will hit six before him.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesSo you would rather suffer about 10-12 minutes from possibly farming safely against a Zed, rather than getting a free Stopwatch item at 6 minutes.
Vargrjalmer1 votesplay ahri, land your e, bye bye zed, play diana, q ult e w, zed is ded, play akali, q r q r q r, zed is dead, play master yi, just kill him, if he ults you then q miinions
AugustHeatHaze1 votesI ALWAYS look to improve my play first before declaring a champ is op Because often its a problem with me not knowing how to deal with a champs play style.
I used to be really frustrated by assassins as a mage mid because "they just burst me under my tower ughhh" I still didn't declare them op I just tried to improve my gameplay which resulted in me dumpstering a zed as annie a while back and recently dumpstering a kat, so like, maybe zeds op, idk, but self reflection is important, Have you done this.
Succubús GF1 votesLet's not make anecdotal evidence the source. Zed isnt by any means overpowered, itemization is just overall better and he can generally go defensive and still burst harder than most mages as a result of most mages being gutted.
AugustHeatHaze1 votesits not anecdotal evidence? im not trying to prove anything, I said maybe zeds op, i don't know lol.
Your post reads like someone who is frustrated and biased, im just asking you to reflect if you are simply frustrated by a hero or if they are actually op similar to how people were frustrated by junkrat in overwatch and said he was op when he was f tier
