If you find a champion "OP" try playing them yourself

I almost 100% sure you will do better vs them if you do.

-Don't like playing against X champion? Play them, try them out for like 2-3 games, learn there play style, learn there CDS, learn how much damage they really do. Learn their weakness's (They do have them, no matter how ignorant you may be to them)

You will succeed A LOT more often if you do, I'm a Zed Main, by the community he's considered "OP" whether thats true or not, I have zero trouble playing against a Zed, with basically any mid lane champ, why? Because i know how he works, I know his damage out put, I know the CDS of skills, how fast they travel, when there up, what combos the Zed will do, etc.

I really, REALLY hate playing against Lux, I think she's bullshit, but ya know what? I started playing her more often, tried her out, and learned how she went about. Guess what? I did much better then next time I went against a Lux.

I thought Fiora was broken. So I bought her and played her.

...I was right.

Okay, to all the people saying "Zeds not op". Youre right, hes not. He just has an insanely good laning phase and if he doesnt get fed in it he is useless mid and late game. HOWEVER, Zed is THE SOLE REASON that you cannot safely blind pick the vast majority of immobile mages such as Velkoz. If you pick Velkoz and they counterpick Zed, its not even a skill matchup, you just lose that lane. Its infuriating when one champion dominates the meta of for an entire role. The same goes for Nidalee in high elo. If she isnt banned in diamond+ and you pick something like Master Yi, you could single handedly lose your team the game due to how far behind she can put you. Also of course theres Fiora in top lane, and even arguably Ezreal and Lucian in ADC.

How do you main zed? he's that champion you can just pick for the first time and get fed. With all the bs items and masteries, you just have to use your E after ulting to kill their adc, sweetie. Long time ago he was a high skill champion, now I laugh when I think about it.

Some people say that Soraka is cancer when I play against them. But like if I'm playing vs a Soraka, I'd go Sona; only poking with Q if they play aggro and building CDR/AP/resistances to outsustain her healing in teamfights. Knowing her kit inside and out, let meh come to the conclusion that she's no match for the buff maiden.

I thought Yasuo took skill.

Boy was I wrong

What if I play Zed and still find him OP? I actually used to play him a lot because I think he's OP.

Slamurai Jack2/25/2016, 11:13:41 PM2 votes

I used to think Nasus was OP. Then I played him 50 games. I still think he's kinda bullshit but honestly not that good except as a counterpick.

Shroom Junkie2/26/2016, 3:31:21 AM2 votes

The problem with my main... Is if you play him too much, you don't stop.

I learned that the hard way. Teemo

I've noticed a lot of people will call a champion op because they refuse to learn how to play against them. I also gotta mention that Riot has two items that counter Zed, three if you include taking cleanse. It's like saying Malzahar is op but if you take away his ult then you take away his identity, which is what makes him the immobile ass mage his is. Thing is if Zed was SOOOOO op like people try to make him out to be then everyone would be playing him.

Tried playing Lee Sin back in the day before his E had attack speed reduction. Went 8/0 early game. And got fed without much effort. Just used my base damages and manaless jungle clear to my advantage. That just confirmed that Lee doesn't take skill that much.

pre-nerf xin was god for anyone. happy they nerfed him today

KoggyStyle2/26/2016, 3:08:36 AM1 votes

ive been destroyed by zed as a full tank and ive destroyed full tanks, i dont have a problem with zed and rarely play him, im butthurt that other champs get nerfed for only being able to destroy squishy marksmen.

so by all means a shout out to assassin mains, make em scream for me <3

Yea, it'd be great to have sandbox mode.

Played fiora for a couple of games, now I think she's even more bullshit than before.

I'd like to thank someone for putting something actually useful for the "Op" champ problem on the boards.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

this feels copy and pasted what the fuck

I still hate Fizz with a passion the only champion i use for his counter isAkali. Diana Ekko Heimerdinger Zed Yasuo die like flies against my middle main Akali. Only champs that i have trouble with are Xerath Velkoz

Nasus i know deep down i am scummy for picking him, back when nasus was in the top lane a bunch he got on my nerves and even now i can only see him as a guilty pleasure.

Similarly, I have mained lux basically since I started the game (~2 years ago). Whenever people complain about her i'm like... why how shes so easy to counter. I always had issues playing against Katarina, but than I started playing Katarina and now i'm almost level 5 with her, and rarely let her snowball in lane anymore.

MasterYi item 3931 item 3742 item 3053 item 3006 item 3022 item 3124

This is broken, builds almost no damage, takes out enemies insanity fast

This guy right here is what I say on every Zed OP thread. He's an easy champ to deal with, you just have to know how.
