Bit of a play by play breakdown: First their fiddle engages, and I know we're in a bad spot. I try to get some damage off with my shadow but I don't want to get caught with their cc and aoe burst so I stand back when I notice the fiddle zhonyas/brand ult.

After that flag combos urgot and ults him. Had he ulted me I would have used my shadow to get away as it was coming up. I know urgot is helpless at this point so I throw a shuriken to attempt to do a bit of damage to weaken the inevitable push. After that, fiddle heads in. I didn't expect the engage, so i was a bit too far back. At this point I figure I have to make the best of his engage, or we lose, so I prepare to go in. it looked like an easy snipe on fiddle/sona, but then sona(AP) uses zhonyas and fiddle walks away. So I have to back out.

At this point I'm thinking, all or nothing. Cait was walking forward too quickly, so I figure I can ult her to dodge J4's flag toss, and quickly burst her. Sona ults too early resulting in a miss, which goes in my favor. I then shadow out of Brand's w to avoid getting the burn debuff from his passive. I then use another shadow to confuse them further and get into a better position so I can get a 3 person aoe e+hydra.

Now I I run out of HP and my GA ticks in. brand uses his zhonyas by mistake, giving me an opportunity after. So I think during my GA time of who to jump on. I decide on fiddle, because if he gets off a fear in time, I'm guaranteed to die due to it being undodgeable and long duration. So I quickly shadow onto fiddle and burst him.

After that I see j4 and sona grouped up too close, so I take advantage of it and pop Youmu's to get into the proper position to hit them both as quickly as possible, then combo them. From there I get a bit excited, but then I quickly realize that if I don't get to the nexus ASAP we'll lose the turret. So Then begins my struggle with the winions, which honestly would have made the play 10x funnier if I failed.

wait 1 v 5 penta? but i saw 4 members of your team deal damage to the enemy team wouldn't it be a 5 v 5 with you doing a penta clean up? well either way you got some nice mechanics

its not "penta cleanup" if their team completely disengaged. They had the opportunity to back but kept going because they thought they could take me. But yeah, the play wouldn't have worked if my team didn't get their hp kinda low earlier on.

All of his teammates died and Sona healed everyone up to almost full health. The point in the vid that Zed engages, his team had been long gone.

It was a 5v5 that quickly turned into a 1v5 after the rest of the team died.

Karll HungusNov 5, 20142 votes

that was a 1v5 you are an idiot to say 5v5 he engaged when all of his teamates were dead so yes its a 1v5 and everyone on the planet would agree

What are you in ranked, by the way? That was amazing. I know I wouldn't have been able to pull that off even if I tried 20 times in a row.

I'm only plat III. This is a normal though, just playing with some friends.

The MormonatorNov 4, 20142 votes

well played, my friend. Well. Played. If I were the enemy team I would surrender right now for common decency.

Nice man. I had a similar thing happen the other day with Jayce, 1v5 penta at baron. I had no way to record it though and was super sad lol.

Mind telling me what program let you record the replay? Thanks!

I play Zed (silver 3) and right now I just have to say your mechanics are just amazing. Hopefully I can become a better Zed one day... xD

Epic mechanics indeed. No wonder why Zeds in my matches always suck in Bronze to low Gold. They can't play him like Platinums and higher. I see many Zeds go 12/0 early game, then if they don't win in 20-30mins and it's around 40-50mins, the Zed will be 25/12 and lost. I remember this one match I was Fizz. Zed was 5/0/1 purely from roaming. Late game came and we won. Another reason for me to not use Zed.

Even if you lost I would count that as a personal win.

Thats called cleaning up... its what assassins do...

DaCushNov 4, 20142 votes

A champ like Zed is a single target assassin dumbass. It's all about who he ults. This was a 1v5 outplay. If this were a Kat your comment would make more sense. I don't blame the enemy team for pushing forward cause the chance of a Zed cleaning that up is close to none. They were the cleanup crew, not Zed. That was most definitely a 1v5 outplay. How is that cleanup when Sona healed everyone up to almost max health? They weren't even close to being low on health.

epic. Anyone saying this is a 5v5 please post the video where you don anything REMOTELY this sick. Assuming I hadn't shoved my foot through my monitor after rushing 1 player with 5 players and dying I would have had to uninstall league for a period no shorter than 2 days.
