Big Plays Spotlight: The Wrath of Zed

RiotPreeti··60 votes·155,377 views

Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing cross-map jukes.

Deep in enemy territory, dreamskape shows us why Zed is one of the only champions who can win two duels simultaneously over a wall.

After dodging Fizz’s ult with Death Mark, the Diamond 5 player masterfully ping pongs between his shadows in order to take down Fizz and fatally wound Twitch mid-ult. With a kill and blue buff secured, the Master of Shadows ends Twitch’s hope of retribution with a final Shadow Slash before strolling back to lane.

We’d love to feature your biggest plays, so post a link in the comments below or submit your clip here!

EDIT: To everyone who added me to tell me about the play, it is so amazing to see the support and compliments from you guys. I am sure all of you guys can do the same play I made, just have to be in the right spot at the right time! I am no different than anyone of you guys, just a regular guy who Riot noticed. Appreciate all the love!

rito please why u dont guys give ppl 1 refund per season or 100 RP if u win 10 in a row in ranked like some achivements ?

Ecoh43 votes

I think they should bring back the 3 refunds because I bought all the things I refunded XD.Should be 3 per season but no RP or achievements, could bring a more toxic community

Obviously Twitch is playing with shadows turned off. That's why he got hit by that last E.

Teach me how to Faker, Senpai!

Korlio13 votes

I'm really tired of people using the word "Senpai". It practically means **Senior **or Elder in Japanese. But, since Faker is fucking Korean and not Japanese (lawl), he is refereed to as Sunbae. So, please reconsider next time.

ShardWintreswolf90 votes

It's an extension of the joke: "Senpai notice me" Not so much a matter of cultural ignorance so much as it is referencing a joke which happens to have its roots in Japanese. So, please, relax a bit

n00b eXpr3ss3 votes

To clarify it is not really a joke. Japanese is very literal. It is a request for attention from the teacher or master. It does not mean Senior or Elder other than in general hierarchy of the culture and language. Translated in the context of English it is simply a replacement for the word teacher.

Bathing Cat17 votes

I'm pretty sure its just a joke. Also Senpai is for seniority, something like a mentor. You wouldn't call your teacher senpai you would call them sensei.

I'm of mind with Akemi on this one. If you're going to do a cultural stereotype 'joke', at least do it right.

I find the best part is that Zed wasn't ahead at all at that point.

Too many people say that getting a penta when you have 20 kills already is "skillful". Don't get me wrong, your execution may be flawless, but that would've never happened had you not been so ridicolously fed beforehand.

OrderlyAnarchist44 votes

Because picking up 20 kills is easy, and the fact that you're good enough to take over a game yourself means that the pentakill you finish it with is worthless.

#logic.

For the record, Zed's team was actually up about 5-6k gold due to dragons, a tower, and general cs betterness, as well as a couple kills which happened to be on Zed. He was ahead of Fizz and Twitch by a substantial amount. That said, 2v1ing even from a big lead is impressive, and the style with which those kills were executed as well as the fact that he effecively fought two separate duels makes that play incredibly impressive IMO, regardless of how ahead he might or might not have been.

And then the YouTube comments all talking about how crap this play is and how they do that everyday... sigh

Griffball3612 votes

i love how he starts the fight fighting fizz then sees twitch shooting at him and is like "nah bro"

Halohappy12 votes

It's plays like these that make me think "Hahahaha...Oh Zed, why did I ever buy you?" because it's going to be YEARS before I'm ever even close to being that good.

(Enemy Team) Twitch Hey Fizz want blue? Fizz Oh Thnx man. U da best! Zed DOUBLE KILL! Fizz I hate u Twitch...

Um...why does enemy team have Lucian and Twitch on the same team? lol I mean it's a cool double kill, don't get me wrong, but...that team comp is pretty lousy.

I main ZedZed and enjoy the combos that he can accomplish (without perfect timing from a Zhonya'sitem 3157 , too much crowd controlsummoner 1item 3111 item 3139 , and a counter ult of courseTryndamere Kayle Lissandra Malzahar ) to take down an enemy.

I've been trying to stray away from any mainstream builds with him, mostly to keep the enemy guessing, but also to try to reach a new plateau with a ninja.

I'm asking the Zed users in the community, if you get fed, to try out Infinity Edgeitem 3031 and Sword of the Divineitem 3131 mixed together in a build of your own. Read the active on Sword of the Divine and how effective it can be (can even combo down a tanky Xin ZhaoXinZhao , or Lee SinLeeSin , for a kill) once properly used in a combo.

Simran125 votes

Redmercy made a video talking about a build like this. I think you should watch it its called duelist zed.

I thinks its ridiculous that all the comments on YouTube are basically "ooh I could do this" or "this is lame". i hate some of the YouTube community because of shit like that. (sorry rant). the only thing that would make this better is either an epic explosion behind zed or the "deal with it" sunglasses falling onto zed. awesome play man.

LukaLuna6 votes

i like how twitch WALKED into the shadow slash at the end pretty much XD

Rebellions10 votes

He didn't "Walk" exactly he was trying to kite him but right clicked a second after zed ported out so he hit the ground, basically he just messed up the kite attempt. That said it was still hilarious XD

Welcome, esportsfans, to another exciting episode of Big Plays Spotlight, where we feature high mobility champions wrecking hapless low mobility champions. This week we have Zed, the high-mobility assassin!

Mobile champions do lend themselves to flashy plays, but I think it detrimental that these champions often outclass their low mobility counterparts.

(props to the Zed, a very well executed play)
