Point out the flaws to if your going to make a post about Zed being "OP"
Zed in general is a strong champion and love playing he's one of my favorite champions. I currently am a Zed main and in all honest he really isn't that OVERPOWERED. Is over all strength is being able to kill anybody at which most other champions would struggle to survive he can easily get away and get kills on almost about anyone. But Zed requires ALL Of his abilites to kill someone if he doesn't fully commit he ain't gonna get the kill and just wasted his cds for it. It's the thing most people on the forums fail to recognize they simple act like he can just easily tower dive you at any point. And get out with ease. For the most part the only times tower's should really matter when you tower dive as in actually being huge threat where you could die in in a second if your not careful. Is early game from lvls 6-11. And thats how it should stay yes they are a huge threat and a zed lvls 6-11 can never actually tower dive you unless your being idiotic. Like staying when your low in lane then the zed knows he can pick up a easy kill, and get out easy. Or not standing behind minons, which reduces his q poke by %50!. Its good for harass but its also a skill shot that if it hits anyone else besides you first it does much less reducing his poke by a lot. So you getting low in the first place the the enemy laner to Zeds fault. For not knowing how to properly play against Zed which is rather simple. Dodge his poke and stand behind minons, if zed doesn't get ahead early he can't really do anything rest of game besides split push. People jlust seem the have this mentality that Zed can beat you at any point during the early game if your a squishy mage like syndra or lux. When in fact its the being much to scared of Zed and not taking advantage of the range mages have and them having more poke then Zed does. Early game Zeds q is on a 8 second cd I think can't remember around there. Syndras q is about 4 seconds? much less then Zeds. Xerath can just poke from far enough that Zed can't even get close. And other mages tend to have long range poke or lock downs. IF you get Zed low enough in lane you can start being more aggressive and easily beat him. People are just to affraid to go on Zed who really isn't a threat if you know how to play correctly. I do however though agree his laning is a bit to safe. He can easily farm from a distant and has decent wave clear {That is if he uses his entire combo then by making him extremlly vulnerable to ganks, or you jsut kiling him in lane} Still though he does really need a tone down on the safety of his kit or just make mages have the old mana regen they used have, so i can stop hearing all these complaints that Zed is OP when in reality he was really never OP he was always a decently balanced champion till mages got nerfed. In a way buffing him but never actually intentionally doing it. Back to the point i believe they should make his q's about 1 to 1.5 seconds higher in the early game to reduce the spam q's. And Slighty reduce the damage he doeds to minons with his q taking away the powerful wave clearing he has, which shouldn't really be a on assassin. But i still feel him being able to tower dive you and get out easy should still stick to his kit. Why ? Well because like i've said before a Zed will never tower dive you lvls 6-11. Unless your just taking free harass from his q which you should just stand behind minons making the damage do significantly less if you actually got hit by his q.
But really whats so much to complain about Zed he's just a safe champion to pick. But doesn't actually bring that much to a team comp if you really pay attention besides just his split pushing, or his roaming. People jsut get irritated that Zed is an assassin and can kill them quick :) and get out.
Tl;Dr
Zed isn't that overpowerd but does need some nerfs
A second or so higher on his q cd early lvls. Less damage to minons overall in his abilites reducing his wave clear.
P.S. I typed this in a fairly quick amount of time so there may be quite of a few of spelling errors.
is his mage counterpart IMO and find that zed can't fight the emperor of the sands in his territory.
is the melee counterpart
