"Zed's assassination is too strong"

SwapShadows··7 votes·515 views

using your entire combo with item-procs and summoners just to MAYBE get a kill is so overwhelming, like jesus crust!!

I wish we had some assassins that didn't need all of their skills and summoners and item-procs to assassinate and at a faster rate.... hmmmm Ahri Akali MasterYi Leblanc Khazix

I didn't know people complained about Zed killing them (thats sort of what he's supposed to do lol).

It was my impression that they complained about his safety while doing so.

Edit: And before anyone mentions LeBlanc, yes shes equally guilty of this (which is why I feel she needs to get hit with the same thing they just did to Zed, make it so she needs to wait before warping back to her distortion glyphs)

This.

Zed's assassination is fine. His extreme safety is not.

Oh I'm sorry I forgot how overwhelming assassin Ahri was since they nerfed her Fox Fire and Spirit Rush acquisition range.

Assassin Ahri needed dfg(rip) and ignite to kill a target. LB the same thing as Ahri. Akali uses Gunblade and ignite. Kha uses smite and builds hydra. Pretty sure assassin Yi takes a BoTRK and smite as well.

so they all need items and summoners to assassinate just as fast as zed.

also why you crying the one second nerf on his ult isnt going to even be noticeable most of the time

Those are things that you don't even need on those champions, a Ahri can easily kill someone without ignite, a akali will most definitely kill someone with just a few ult charges and so on. (yi only needs autos lol)

-Ahri is in a very good spot. Has medium ratios, gets pretty mana hungry as she levels up. Low movement speed as a trade off for the mobility that comes with her kit. She generally cant 100-0 another champ unless fed, as she requires a poke mage playstyle before she can commit to an all-in. A lot of her matchups are skill matchups. Can be outplayed just as much as she can outplay someone else. Has great early and mid game, but can have a hard time late game.

-Akali has the absolute worst laning phase, just trying to farm up until 6. She has heavy snowball potential, but is far from a safe pick.

-Yi goes either way. He can be absolutely crushed or dominates his lane. has only one 'true' offensive ability (but has very supplementary abilities to compensate). Can snowball to hell and back if you let him, though.

-Leblanc..... well she's a huge bitch and everyone knows that. Not a whole lot to say about her besides the fact that she's an early game monster and she has some mechanics that should be fixed.

-Kha'zix seems like a very weak and strong assassin at the same time. Hardly ever see him used anymore, so I cant actually talk about him. I remember him being used a lot last season, though.

Lastly, it's not that zed is too strong, per se, it's that he's extremely safe during his laning phase, sort of like leblanc-except even safer. If you manage to die a lot with him in laning phase you're probably an idiot. (not pointing fingers at anyone here, just generally speaking.)

Im just stating that they can assassinate way easier than Zed, and with less counterplay.
