Return Zed to the way he was

After the 3.13 rework, i would it extremely difficult to juke and escape as zed. after the nerfs it takes very long for his shadow to go where u want it to and in a fight, those precious milliseconds are the difference between a kill or an escape. his shadows range isnt even that far and yet it is till nerfed, instead they should nerf someone like leblanc for her w.

please return zed to the way he was, if u really want to nerf him, take away some base armor and some scaling off his abilities but don't nerf his mobility as it is what defines him as a champion

His mobility is what made him OP. And no, the range on his shadow was retarded.

Leblanc relies on her W too much for damage for it to be constantly be used as a mobility tool.

I understand if you were a ZED player that this nerf made you upset, but that is because he WAS OP and now you might have to work to do well with him now.

yeah. they're not going to change him back. you just have to get used to the slower shadow (which looks way cooler) and use the R shadow as an escape tool. watching voyboy do it. he know's what's up

The only thing that I would recommend is to increase the speed just a tad on his W. His new R is no problem and can be used for great escapes. Zed is still an assassin with a higher learning curve. They will not change him back because he was OP and way to easy to play.

I love the fact that that bug where if you use your ult as you die it generates a shadow that stays throughout the game for the whole match = Infinite Sight Ward = OP :D

I agree with you. As a huge Zed main ( Zed nearly every game) I can say I have barely played him since. It's changed his whole feel. If they dont change him I'm just going to be hugely disappointed.

It's really hard to use the shadow offensively now. The old combo of W->E is almost impossible to pull off against someone who isn't asleep. It's like trying to hit people with Lux's E. You launch your shadow, they amble away, and you did nothing. Hardly effective as an assassin anymore.

Not that I'm complaining :D Zed was a champion I could never master, and now that he's so bad, I don't have to worry about learning him anymore.

I still laugh at how overpowered the passive part of his W is. Instead of removing that, and seeing how strong he is without the 25% bonus AD, they nerfed his mobility. You know, the fun parts of playing the champion.

My Ashe would like the 25% bonus AD instead of the useless gold passive on her E. They talk about hidden power being bad for the game, and the huge bonus passive AD on Zed is such a blatant offender they refuse to fix.

thanks for ur opinions guys, i do love his new ult as its an easy escape after an assassination, i think riot is just nerfing all the assassins cause low level adcs cant handle the pressure to position correctly
