Does Zed really need a slow?

But Illaoi has a slow ability that removes you from the fight for 10 seconds

Movement speed.

This is a problem similar to the old Phage. It's not a problem that Zed can catch up to someone he hits - that's good because he hit them and should get rewarded in some way. Phage is a healthier item now that it's a movement buff on hit instead of a slow on hit. The same could easily be done for Zed.

Hell, he could even get stacking speed buffs for hitting multiple champions. Wouldn't that be fun?

To touch on this, not all champions have cc but all champions typically have the tools in some sense to catch opponents that almost fall in the same category of cc. (Via cost wise to a champions kit)

Morde has a built in shield and a speed boost.

Lucian has a built in speed boost and a passive cool down reduction on his gap closer.

Ezreal has a built in cool down reduction to assist in lowering the cs on his gap closer

Nidalee has 2 speed boosts built into her kit along with a gap closer. Her gap closer distance increased with on the hunt triggered.

Katarina has a bit of a different kit in the sense where she has a damage reduction added into her e and the Greivous wounds debut attached to her ult, those are attributes that are in the kit to replace the lack of cc. The only real assistance to gap closing is her cd resets on kill or assist.

Yes, zed should have a slow, but if you were to trade it out for something else what would you trade it for ?

zed has his shadows and his ult

Zed has both his W and R to close the gap on his opponents, as well as the Phage passive for movement speed if he so chooses to build it. Not trying to say he doesn't deserve a slow, but he definitely has ways to catch enemies out.

Mordekaiser's speed boost is VERY SITUATIONAL. And seeing as Mordekaiser is a frontliner... He rarely gets to truly utilize his innate speed enhancement.

The guy found it from the wiki, and that specific page has probably not been updated since the Nidalee changes rolled out. I'm really not going to fault him that much, especially since nobody talked about the Nid changes after they came out.
