Why Do The Boards Circlejerk Complain About Zed?
I've never understood why everyone complains about Zed. He's a skill cap champion in my opinion. If you're a good Zed player, you deserve to be rewarded.

When I die in lane to zed, I never feel outplayed, it feels cheap, he is low cost, high reward, and can trade like a brawler until the midgame.
Midgame rolls around and Zed starts wandering, now if a zed can pick me off and get me under tower, I'll feel frustrated and hopeless, but begrudgingly, they deserve my respect, as I know it isn't easy to do.
Lategame rolls around and he feels tankier than riven with all his ways of avoiding damage, but he can't be ignored because of how much damage he does.
Basically he feels like playing a strong Yi, but with a more frustrating laning phase.
same reason they circlejerk complain about dynamic queue, or afk's in ranked, or any other thing that you see a million threads for on the boards...
Usually? Maybe you have a point.
Currently? Arguably he's a balance nightmare. 70%+ of the entire Plat+ population isn't the board circlejerk, they're the ones banning him.
Because they nerfed Riven a bunch and you don't see her as often, and Ekko is more freelo so there are more people defending him.
Zed has that perfect combination of obnoxious, popular and not completely broken that leads to rage threads.
