Zed's Place Right Now
Is Zed a champion that is balanced or his he considered over powered (definitely not an under powered champ as long as you know what you're doing with Zed). Thank you for your opinions!

I feel that in his current state he is fine. I don't see him op.
He is great at 1v1 or 1v2 but really really poor at actual teamfights despite having two AOE's he just simply does not have the late game burst or survivablility when people ahve zhonyas or QSS
Zed is in a pretty poor spot, if he doesnt get a head, because he is an assassin that is pretty squishy. A lot of champions do well against him, and a lot of support rek him.
I say as an Assassin Zed is in a "balanced" state? He can still assassinate people if you know how to play him perfectly, but if not he is lacking. Most assassins got gutted awhile ago, so I wouldn't look at him until he gets a buff.
I feel he is pretty fair right now, 
and 
are usually effective in shutting him down.
Assassins are meant to be doing poorly in team fights and when they're behind, dunno why some people want him strong in both of those categories.
I guess overall, Zed atm is cool, maybe.
I still hate his kit philosophy though.
He's definitely annoying as all hell. He's super safe with multiple blinks, and has ranged, manaless wave clear on a melee assassin. Is he overpowered? Not particularly. He just has a kit that lets him control the flow of the fight rather than letting both players fight for control of it. You have to play around him and wait for a mistake rather than forcing one through your own plays. That makes him annoying and pretty unfun to play against. I wouldn't lose sleep if he's banned (especially since he just got a new skin that increases his pick rate), but I wouldn't ban him myself if I was first pick. Hope that helps.
