Why is it that Zed can get hardcountered by simple items and spells? His early to mid is amazing. In the lategame he gets completly wrecked by hourglass which most ap carries buy nowadays and qss for ad carries. He is one of the few that gets harcountered by items this heavily.
It's just the way his ult is designed. There's no way to reduce this weakness without reworking him.
What they could (and to be honest, SHOULD) do is bring the cooldown of his E back to 3 seconds (bringing it to 4 did a lot of terrible horrible things...as well as ruin the overall flow of his entire kit) or give him slightly more damage on his Q. Or make his ult do up-front damage that isn't part of the pop damage. Or, during the amount of time it takes to reach his target during his ult, if they became untargetable during this time then Zed's ult will only go on a 5 second cooldown. But if they Zhonya'd after he lands, he still suffers the full cooldown (but he still is able to deal a split second worth of damage, like an autoattack + E). Or some kind of combination of these things.
Why does his ult even classify as a debuff in the first place... I really don't think it should be countered by QSS. I'm fine with Zhonya's blocking it, as that makes sense. Zed just needs to target someone else. Zhonya's hard counters basically everything and everyone in the game, so Zed should be no different.
