I'm so tired of this champion being played every single game and going legendary many times over every time. Why is it okay that he has no counter, no way to gank him, no drawbacks of any kind, and it's all fine.

The ignorance in this thread is hilarious. Mostly Zed mains defending their ability to roll their face across the keyboard and get free wins.

But...

Zed is OP and Mage itemization is weak....

Says every mage / ap main.

: ^)

Mage players are the most delusional when it comes to the strength of their class and itemization.

1100 Gold COMPONENT vs 2900 gold completed item while eating the entire Zed combo and still walks out alive....

Oh and let's not forget Kassadin had recent nerfs to his armor.

Seekers Armguard is complete bullshit for it's cost and what it gives you.

So you're telling me that a Mage/AP Assassin should be able to spend 1100 gold, farm 30 cs and then be able to eat an entire Triple Q combo from a Zed who's ahead of him significantly and still survive?

No, I don't think so.

Stylish had a 2,900 gold item. 0/2 Kassadin had an 1100 gold COMPONENT and no other armor items.

That clip shows how bullshit overpowered Seeker's Armguard is.

Why on earth do zed players think they deserve 100-0 at any point in the game even against armored targets???

TRADING! That's a thing you know!? He already had the dominatnt lane (Kassa is 0-2) he already had the lead and a single Q before doing the combo would have been enough to get the 95-0!

If he gets the more offensive DuskBlade over the more ultility oriented Yomuus he'd also get the kill!

See this clip and asking for Buffs once again is proof of how stupid this assassin QQ really is! You feed the meme...

If we don't we get oneshot by your stupid 1100g serrated dirk. Thats called game balance kek You think us mages buying a fking 2900g item with no mana, while you Zed mains use skills without resources was a fair game from its inception?

No it is not. You can play your cheap game, while we have other plans to screw that. That is the risk of playing Zed. You're playing a non-resource cheese champion of course the game won't allow you to go scot-free. Imagine if fucking Leblanc had no mana. Your champion is ridiculous from design.

The same goes to fricking Teemo on toplane who would lose lane automatically the entire game the instance the enemy buys cowl. Your champion simply has the same treatment.

LMAO energy is no resources? It needs to be managed just as much as Mana. And if you go oom easily with just buying seekers, you need to learn to manage your Mana correctly. An assassin should one shot an no armor mage and I do think seekers>serrated Dirk but seekers is better than an entire youmuus, something is wrong.

Lmao it means nothing if the energy bar is back up to 100% in a less than 10 seconds. And you talk about maths? Full assassin items have only 55 AD. Then the enemy buys armor to counteract your lethality.

Buys cheap-ass 2900g 55 AD item built for cheesing low level targets. Cries about it. Give me a break. You picked a high-risk high-return champion and item path. It backfired. GG

10 energy per sec, Zed has 200 energy so that's 20 secs of him being able to do jack. My point is seekers is too efficient in which you get 45 armor and 35 AP for 1100 gold. It would be as if I bought triforce and couldn't kill someone who only had ninja tabis.

Are you telling us how Stupidity strong Zed is in this Video or the opposite?

Because from what it seems Kassadin bought Armor yet he still almost got 100-0ed by a Zed that only 1 Q hit normally and 1 passed by a Minion without even using Ignite lmao

I still think you're trolling us .. lol

Nevermind that you actually have to rush an item that wont give you any mana or enough damage while he just gets to build more and more damage cause hey if you all in him he kills you if you gank him he has a guaranteed escape or will at least kill one of you

Marian Cross1 votes

Yeah maybe before bitching that someone got armor you should just use your free damage sum that you took while also you built the utility damage item over the full damage item.

On a side note i do hate mage items and thing they are way too good, but still the clip means all but about nothing.

I don't think you quite see the gold lead that Zed has on kass.. You shouldn't be able to buy one item worth 1100 gold then be able to last until Zed buys an item worth 2900 good.

Who made that rule ? Don't forget Zed can 100-0 if you have no armor with only 1100 gold The fact itself that Zed almost 100-0 him was BS , you know that trading exists ? Even with the gold difference, Zed didn't hit everything well and in the first place he kind of dove him so he had no chance for a continuous fight If anything it was poorly played by Stylish for not even trying to trade .

Of course, an assassin can 100-0 you if you have bought 0 armor, are you dumb. With the gold, you have after first back, if you have opted to buy Lost Chap. or Hex Rev., you are forgoing defenses against an assassin with an 1100 gold lethality item meant for players like you, who buy no armor, to kill. Also, Zed is an all in assassin, with his R and W both being tools to go into a fight as Zed cannot trade without giving up something. Stylish used R, 2 Qs and Es and an auto and still didn't kill him despite being 1800 gold ahead of a Kassadin who only bought seekers.

a) he didnt hit a full triple combo, shadow he ulted from missed the shuriken, if it hit, he would've been dead. b) shurikens went THROUGH targets first, that's why Kassadin lived. Only 1 shuriken hit for the full damage value. c) he had some hp regen through refillable & fleet

This would be the same comparison as to Syndra missing Q, but stunning with E, hitting W & then ulting, and the person surviving with only a Hexdrinker. Wich... they would.

I usually see zed get really far behind if he cant 1v1 who hes facing. Other then that, he pretty much steamroles if he can hit you every time. Missing his q is bad.

His most obvious counters: item 3157 item 1029 Bard summoner 21

There are other counters which involve champions with dashes to juke his abilities when ulting with the likes of Katarina and Ekko Leblanc

In terms of ganking... I wait for him to use his w which gives me a large window to gank. Without his w he is just another immobile squishy assassin

These do not counter him, they only delay your death. I'm not even sure what Bard is doing in that list. But actually, item 3157 SHOULD counter him, if Zed was designed properly to have less front-loaded damage.

JuiceBoxP2 votes
  1. I saved teammates with bard a handful of times by ulting them before zed managed to burst them down while stunning him when he comes out of my ult and basically denying him everything and killing him.

  2. if you cast item 3157 before his ult animation ends (somewhere around 0.5 seconds worth of animation) you don't get a mark and he is basically nullified. Even if you don't click zhonya fast enough, zed usually won't stay around and wait for you to die, he will ult away and you will cast your zhonya before his mark kills you and you will not die.

I mean, how can you even argue that this item doesn't counter him? It's his #1 counter for ap midlaners that you play alot. (Velkoz )

  1. assassins have front loaded damage. That's what they do. Zed is not even the biggest offender of front loaded damage...Rengar Khazix

I mean you play an immobile long range mid laner. You can't juke his ult's damage but you can juke his normal abilities by side stepping.

Maybe you should play something more mobile if you can't deal with zed or just rush zhonya and learn how to use it

You could either ban him, or try playing against him. I am not sure on your role but if you are mid, take exhaust. Build an hourglass early and take the free stop watch. Every time I play mid into him I have to adjust my play style, and I still hate him, but I do not think he is "Broken."

Zed is not currently viable at the competitive level and is at best a tier 3 champion. If anything he needs slight buffs, a good fix would be to give him a form of hard CC either on his passive, making his autos stun or when multiple abilities land.

Nah, we should also make his Q's point and click. And his E to be a knockup. Also the ability to spawn clones on his W that are targetable. And him to be a ranged champion with hybrid values.

All at the same time of course.

he has no counter

Actually, Garen counters him very, very hard in lane during the early game. Zed is still a melee champion who needs to come up to the wave to take the majority of his CS. That's Garen's cue to bang him very hard with Q and/or E, W through any shuriken hits or shadow damage, and then heal it all up with his passive while Zed has no in-kit heals at all.

In general, Zed is pretty bad against tanks and juggernauts generally, like most champions who are one-trick damage artists without any lane sustain. Take some toplaners generally against him the next time you go mid; Darius Maokai Illaoi Renekton Tryndamere Yorick Malphite Nasus all have the innate tankiness and close-up damage tools to survive and/or win trades, but Garen really has the tools to stick it to ol' shadow butt, and if you get far enough ahead your team won't mind at all that you're on an off-meta tank instead of a mage or assassin.
