Big Plays Spotlight: The Wrath of Zed

RiotPreeti·7/7/2014, 7:03:11 PM·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!

Holy shit its me. Oh and I'm not plat 2 anymore I'm d5!

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!

It's the casual walking away during the final kill that really does it. lol

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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