There is 0 (or not much) counterplay, 
can use his whole WQE combo to proc thunderlords from behind his own minions. 
can charge up his Q until he gets his knockup, EQ in and get a proc, then E out through your own traitorous minions. YASUO IS A STUPID BALL OF BULLSHIT. Didn't URF end already? Then why does he have no cooldowns?
I can't deal with these 2 every game. Gotta see my therapist.

Neidox2 votesHow is an immobile mage supposed to go behind enemy minions to get to Zed? Hes so far from me. He just does that combo, Q minions from behind his wave, waits for his cooldowns, then does it again. Thats how he does it. That champion has no serious drawbacks, aside from teamfights. But then he just splitpushes and take syour base.
Dreadlocks3 votesPerhaps you should play Zed for yourself before making such judgments.
360D3GR3SS3 votes0 counterplay? exaggerate much? learning to dodge the extremely slow moving shurikens and yasuo 3rd Q is easy and heavy counterplay. Not to mention Zhonyas against them and QSS against zed. Its simple, you predict their abilities you win, you don't you lose.
Neidox1 votesI said EQ meaning he can dash and do his little circle Q for a knockup. Not the far range Q. Thats easy to dodge. Its the fact they can do it that safe is what bothers me. Ha just dodge. People said the same thing about Nidalee, she got reworked.
360D3GR3SS3 votesExcept zeds combo is reliant on his W which has a very long cooldown.
