Is Zed too Strong?
So let me ask does Zed so strong that impossible to beat him?
Before I start let me tell you I am bias towards Zed, he is my favorite champion.
Many people complain that Zed so strong who can tower dive you at level 4.
First, if you get killed by Zed undertower at level 4, it means you are bad or you made many mistakes. It is just you stayed lane with 15%-25% hp and u didn't expected a w e q combo with ignite, and honestly every champion can do that with decent early game dmg, for example yasuo, fizz, lux, victor, anivia, syndra and many more champion.
Many people say he does too much dmg because of his kit, which is true, however dont forget most of zed early game dmg comes from his combo, if zed uses his combo and miss, which can happen, zed is very easy to punish since his w has over 15 second CD, during that time Zed is easy to gank and punish by the enemy.
Zed can be countered by items for example
and
. therefore his late game is weaker.
Zed is very fun to play therefore many people like to play him, however in the link above you can see, you will win significantly more games with him if you put the time into learning and practicing him. It is not a typical meta pick that you just pick because he is op, and you start to play him like faker and Redmercy after 5 games.
I believe Zed strong earlygame makes up for his weaker late game.
i believe Zed is should be a high risk high reward champion therefore, I wouldn't mind some nerfs to the e , increase the energy cost for example, you only can use your second e during a combo if you land your full combo and you get energy refunded.
Please feel free to tell me your opinion about Zed and how Zed can be changed to be remain strong early yet balanced, but not useless as he was during season 5.
and maybe
.
And thats what makes him and other ad champs really strong right now.
