A zed rework aimed to making him fun to play against
Zeds primary issues right now: 1)straight up unfun to play against in lane and late game 2)EXTREMELY safe at all stages of the game 3) feels like no one counters him and is hard to punish Zed early. 4)feels more like a ranged champion in lane rather than a melee.
Changes:
-Passive: contempt for the weak
Targets: anyone below 50% current hp => CHAMPIONS ONLY at any % hp
Damage: 4/5/7% max hp => flat 35/205 ( based on level)+ 8/12/20 % missing hp
-Q : razor shuriken
Damage -20 across the board for direct hits and -15 across the board for multi target hits.

Ratio 0.8 bonus ad => 0.5/0.6/0.7/0.8/0.9 bonus ad
R: death mark Now resets the passive timer on any champion used Can only cast the blink back if he: 1)hits a champion with a shuriken 2) drops death marked target to lethal levels of hp ( death mark pop will kill) 3) gets any other kill or assist. The shadow now stays for an extra 2 seconds before it disappears
Additionally mikaels crucible now romoves Zeds ultimate from the target cast upon.
I believe these changes will solve the problems with zed I mentioned above because now zed has far less damage From range early and has to commit to get the big trade on by swapping with his w and procing his passive (notice how the passive Will do very little damage vs a near full hp target) Zed now actually has some weaknesses early and shoving him under his turret is a better thing to do to punish him because he can no longer lat hit as easily without his passive on minions. Also zed has to get a successful ultimate off in order to be allowed to blink back to safety. If he doesn't think through his all in and finds himself screwed, he will have to burn something valuable or die for it. I increased his late game scaling on q and e to make him less reliant on his ultimate which can now be countered by a protective support who bought a mikaels. Also the new passive makes his weq into passive proced auto combo much stronger late game. ( as long as he lands double / triple shuriken and chunks the target on low hp. The new passive with stronger execute will reward him with a kill. However he is committed and had now way out. TL;dr Zed now takes risks and is rewarded if he lands his skillshots Far less safe.
on the enemy team I am jumping for joy.
