If played correctly Zed can destroy anyone, but he is extremely hard to master. Honestly right now Yasuo would be my go-to mid laner because of that "Overlord's bloodlust" masterie, but It will get nerfed in the next patch (even after the nerfs Yasuo will be a decent champion) . If you are willing to put time and effort into playing shitload of games as Zed, then buy him ! He Is also fun to play, so you won't get bored after 4-5 games. Good luck !

wow I cant believe people here think zed is strong LMFAO, typical G&B boards

because having a 43% winrate = OP

even tho zed is going to get buffed next patch

Isn't he still way better than Talon though?

Talon is a beast if played right.

Riot removed it due to because general discussion calling this place

"Gold&Below" "Garbage&Bronze" "Gameplay&Bronze"

due to because how horrid the opinions is here that they laugh off, and make fun of you guys

All champions that just built ad + last whisper (wukong, kha, zed, riven) etc are absolutely terrible right now.

They have no item to replace last whisper and lost a ton of damage vs both squishies and tanks with the changes. If you can't use crit, you are in a terrible spot because Riot doesn't know what they are doing.

Also LMAO at people saying Riot will fix things. Champions that built 400 ad + old last whisper will remain terrible unless Riot designs an item solely for them. At this point all they are going to do is number tweaking. Riot seems to have forgotten that last whisper is an item that wasn't only built on adcs.

Well I mean, Riot's actually said they're going to be doing that.

Basically this. Zed and other similar AD casters are in the dumpster right now solely because of Last Whisper's changes.

zed is amazing right now along with other assassins but he is one of the hardest champs to play as correctly so if you are looking for a easy time stomp fest in mid lane as soon as you get him that wont happen but if you are looking for a champ that will take a good bit of time to master and until then the fun is not that high then zeds your guy

Zed is average/on the weak side right now, a lot of his core items were changed or outright nerfed in the preseason item 3153item 3035. Unless your AD champion can build either crits, or item 3124 they probably aren't in the best spot right now (Zed builds neither).

However Zed has some buffs coming up and in addition, a new item which is ideal for assassins will be introduced soon Riot have said.

So if you like the look of the champion, go ahead and save up for him; he's not that great right now, but I'm sure he will be fine once the preseason is over and Riot have gotten itemization and champion balance to a healthier spot. Zed is overall pretty fun to play and has a fairly high skill-cap and skill ceiling.

And nothing of value was lost.

Some of us enjoy playing Zed and having counters to ADCs and Yasuo. Personally, I find Zed very fun to play as and against.

But I don't miss how Riven's hardly played now.

Mazohist2 votes

nope,not even close if you would check some graphs youd see he has a 43% winrate also zed mains with over 100 games are struggling to get the winrate to 50% in this patch alone

Bronzoid2 votes

43% win rate, you tell me

IcyPepper2 votes

high skillcap?

From what I hear, not every champion needs a 50% win rate to be good, just shows that they're a little harder to master?

Teemo or Feedmo1 votes

i kinda agree with this one. +1

Fizz is not Fish1 votes

CRITICAL,item 3031 item 3508 item 3046 .. just AA. Then no counter to your ult.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Spizzle90001 votes

And then there's this item. . . Oh what's it called? I'm trying to remember. . . Oh yeah item 3140.

Then there's the whole fact any ADC can just AA one or two times and kill pretty much any squishy with those items, while having more CDR than a mage who actually requires the CDR.

Fizz is not Fish1 votes

I mean Zed build these items and just R->AAAA->WW->AAAA Your ult has no dmg because enemy has QSS/Zhonya. AD champs who don't build critical suck in this game.

General Dots1 votes

Zed, along with ad assassin mid laners is gonna have big impact in this season. However, you will need to master him to perform well, which is gonna take some time! Good luck to whatever choice you make!

dragon n1nja1 votes

Hes worth it, once you master Zed, all other champions are a walk in the park, Hes my favourite champion. Even though hes kinda weak now, it wont stop me playing him

darkmatchwaldo1 votes

I recommend picking up Yasuo instead.

Spizzle90001 votes

I'm not gonna lie, from what I've seen so far, he's trash in this pre-season. Once he and other AD caster assassins get some new items, he'll be fine again. He's ridiculously fun and I totally recommend him once he gets a buff and assassins get an item to replace all of the power they lost.

Teemo or Feedmo1 votes

what will his buff be?

what will his buff be?

Here ya go:

Living Shadow (W) Missile speed increased to 1750 from 1500. Maximum range up to 700 from 600 Minimum range lowered to 350 from 400*

Death Mark (R) detonation damage % increased to to 30/40/50% from 20/35/50%.

Also, quoted from Surrender@20: "In a thread inquiring on the current state of Kha'Zix, Meddler noted they are planning to add a new AD assassin item in early 2016!"

Presumably this new item will also be good for Zed and other AD Casters.

Teemo or Feedmo1 votes

i'll get zed for now. fuck' yasuo.

Teemo or Feedmo1 votes

tfw you ask someone if a champion is good,but they answer ''lolololol he gotz 44% winrate so he sux ye lol''

Frost Hellfire1 votes

Welp, as a Zed main, I highly recommend you to buy Zed. He's extremely fun to play, although he has a pretty high skillcap. It took me a few months to even play him decently, actually. If you do end up buying him, I hope I don't see you in game because I hate other Zed players.

Frost Hellfire1 votes

NOTE:He is pretty strong in the current patch, especially with this little secret mastery that I have under my sleeve.
