Kayle Fizz and Lissandra all destroy zed because they can completely negate his ult mark

I love to pick Diana into zed. She can poke him hard. Can out tank his ult with her shield and a early zhonya. and can burst him just as hard as he does.

Depending on how you prefer to play there's three options, burst, poke, or tank. If you prefer to have burst I would suggest Katarina, as she also has a nice escape. For poke Zilean is a fair pick, but if you want to be a little riskier there's Xerath or Viktor. Tank wise has the unconventional picks like Alistar, Blitz, and Nunu, really anyone who has either sustain or a great way to soak damage while dealing it in return.

blitzcrank all blitz needs to do is wait for zed to ult the adc and then he can instantly pull zed,which will nullify the ult. knock him up and by then zed should be dead by the time he hits the ground anyone with a dash and one with a quicksilver sash maokai any tank lulu anyone with hard cc exhaust talon can give him a hard time yasuo can give him a hard time any ranged champion with high damage and a disengage

Apparently Ahri counters zed, but if you play elise mid, shes a WAY better counter imo. After he ults you, dodge all his attacks with spider form e so that you can dodge all his initial burst, then proceed to stun and murder him. His poke is a bit annoying in lane, but if you can land stuns and dodge his ult with your e, I think you all ins are superior (at least when used against you, he will still own your adc or squishy support) I honestly don't know of anyone cuz I don't main mid, but once I bought elise I proceeded to own the next few zeds I played against.

Leona, she destroys his shadows

I think it's a skill match up for the most part; I want to say Ryze can counter Zed (Ryze can get Frozen Heart which really hurts Zed's damage, also Ryze has a targeted root which can counter Zed's mobility), but I'm not sure. Zilean and Kayle can also deny death on whoever Zed targets, so they might be good picks vs him. Kayle and Ryze are also pretty good dualists and split pushers, which is what Zed usually wants to do, so I'd say they're pretty good options.

He is op, as you either really counterpick him or he can do whatever he wants...for counters there had been an LPL game last season with a ridiculous destroy-Zed comp: Alistar, Urgot and Lissandra - the poor guy just never had a chance.

Ap Nid if your good with her counters everybody. Im being truthful here. Just hop away when he ults.

Malzahar works. Drop Q where he's going to land after his untargetability (always behind you), then W + Ult him. He won't have a chance.

As a Zed player myself, i can say that any ranged mid or top laner is pretty safe from zed. You can farm from a distance poke from a distance, and if he ults you just drop a slow ability, if you have one, and kite as a ranged champ. just make sure you keep track of all his shadows. and watch his e q combo.

Look no further than MonkeyKing . Decoy can negate all of Zed's damage and you will be able to jump on him whenever you please with Nimbus Strike + Crushing Blow. Once Zed uses his ultimate on you, Decoy and use Cyclone. You will completely destroy him.

I've had success with Swain. Poke-Dominate lane early to rush lvl 6. Once lvl 6 just shut him down.
