“A 6/1 zed is about as useful as a 0/0 ryze with decent farm”
- LL stylish, known as best zed NA/World.
Why is that? I understand that you nerfed Last whisper and black cleaver cause it was overbearing on hyper carries and Lucian but didn’t you think remotely about zed?
I also accept that you nerfed lethality again cause of some abusers (zed wasn’t one of them btw) cause it was overbearing but do you think his small attack speed and w buff made up for it?
The champion is garbage, w 22s cd is a major problem plus him having like always energy problems. Hitting e twice can put you into dangerous places mid-late game. His energy Regen mechanic is simply unfair compared to the likes of akali or even lee.
Furthermore stopwatch at 6 is a major problem. Imagine I play zed vs malz. He brings exhaust, swaps it later for tp. My first killing chance is gone since he’s always pushing and I can’t hold against that. If I manage to find a killing situation he exhausts, fine I mean he brought that summoner. He comes back to lane with tp thanks to spell book, I push to gain 6 first and boom he has stopwatch.
Another killing situation i couldn’t fulfill my job. After that he has exhaust again. He successfully nullified my existence just cause of his setup, he autowon.
We also didn’t take into account that every time my w 22cd is done his jungle can just sit me.
That he scales better and that he offers more to a team.
What’s my job as assassin nowadays? Laning is hard, assassinating carries got harder thanks to all these MASSIVE support buffs and some marksmen having stopwatch too. Boards flipped their shit when sights tone got removed even tho it was a buff, buffing a strong role even more.
I also can’t split cause most of the time there’s a tank just clearing side waves and tping or moving fast to fights than I can.
Either buff assassins directly or buff last whisper back to 45% pen for melees only (and 35% for ranged) and buff black cleaver and make it melee only.
So fucking tired of being useless.
