I want zed and I heard he's hard. I have friends telling me that zed is too hard for me. I can play Yasuo well... So if I can play Yasuo then could I play zed? I am also level 20.

Zed has a high skill cap, if that's what you mean. It won't be too difficult to pick up, though. He's not a "1v5 gg ez I'm gonna collect my freelo" until you actually practice playing him, contrary to popular belief.

Zed can't 1v5 like you said ik but he can maby 1v2 not fed or fed. Alot of noobs say he's so op and he can 1v5. Only zed mains or people who practice him alot know rlly.

yeah, as a main zed i can say that people just say zed is op when you kill him, but only people who plays zed know it

as a zed main that just recently started using yas, i'd say so. the reason for this is that yasuo has much more mobility, with his e cd being almost nonexistent. zed on the other hand has a particularly long cd on his gapcloser/escape. this means he has to be more careful about when using it, and how he uses it. also, he uses energy, which while recovering fast, is just so much different from yas who only waits for cd. their q is more or less the same, with zed having more range, but you have to remember that enemies in front of your target will reduce the damage. i think the ult is really what makes zed harder to play though. yas can ult all five, which has all of them prevented from attacking, whereas zed ults into the group leaving him vulnerable momentarily. im not saying he's a billion times harder than yasuo, but he definitely does take moderately more skill to use effectively. he's loads of fun though, and anyone saying he's too hard is too closeminded. you have to play a few games to get the basics right, but i dont believe any champs are too hard to play, if you practice with them enough

They are both somewhat difficult to play, but in different ways. They are hard for different reasons.

As a zed main imma say one thing and it's zed can reset autos and burst hard on lvl 4 while yasuo at lvl 1 with fervor can do 80 more auto attack damage. Plus they both have penta potential but Yasuo can littlery 1v5 full hp enemies zed has to focus on enemy then kill the rest on yasuo it's more based ill lower him then I'll get the other guy and finish this guy. On zed it's like enemy adc here ok time to kill then he fks support then he has super lite if enemy team has two tanks but there is a build for pure 1v5. Yasuo reallies on items. That's what I've seen item 3134 item 3086

I agree, also Zed definitely has a lower skill floor than Yasuo, but they both have equal skill ceiling.

The hardest thing about zed is managing your energy, which isn't hard at all. Zed is one of the easiest assassins imo.

Maybe in your bronze elo where every adc is retarded and every support builds ap but here in plat the adc and supports have a brain so u cant just kill them so ez like a damn KAtarina or Leblanc where u one shot them in less than 2 seconds.

Shutting down a Zed is extremely easy.

Playing a Zed properly as to where you don't end up getting shut down, now that is hard.

You can't really compare one playstyle to the other. Both champs are worlds apart based on their skills.

If you are new to the game, Zed is pretty hard to get down. Heck, he's hard to get down if you are a veteran.

Well i think that Zed can be strong if u practice him alot.And Yasuo can too.But i think that Zed is easyer to play than Yasuo.For you to play Yasuo you have to know when to E when to R when to W.For Zed u use W,E then Q and its over gg.But with Zed u can do alot of combos.I did a combo where Jinx was chaising me and i used W and i stood near the shadow.After Jinx came closer i used R and E.When the R completed i used Q and it damaged Jinx from all 3 ways.Becouse i had 2 shadows and me so i trew out 3 shurikens.But overall i think Zed is easyer than Yasuo :D.
