WTF Unlimited Zeds?

I just played vs a guy who had zed with guardian angel, mage's cap and dragon's claw with a mage comp. Literally, every time he dies or after he procs guardian angel, he gets his spell to get 1 or 2 clones, and then those clones ALSO have the 3 items, who again proc their spell and get another 1 or 2 clones, and eventually he had 6 clones when he killed all my champs. Some still with GA and I also killed several.

It's absolutely disgusting. Woodland passive also clones but they don't get the items, so why does zed's clone - which can be procced way more than once - get the items on the clones? It's ridiculous. It's unbeatable.

I saw in patchnotes before about a 'bugfix' with zed with proccing heals of his clones with light comp or something - but this shit is not 'bugfixed'? Nice balance team. Guess im building zed every game now

This is what is supposed to happen. He's a $5 champion, with no AP scaling, after all.

As far as the Light interaction, why would that be a problem, since Yorick does that all by himself, with no items at all?

It's been this way for awhile hard to plan for because you'll likely get tossed out early unless you can get some lucky rolls...

That's actually so true, I tried to "disguise the Zed" as another unit (giving his items to an early unit that is effective in a mage comp). I think one of the most effective would be Malphite, he can stun for about 2 seconds almost every enemy unit, so just give him Zed's Mage Cap and whatever other item you planned for the build until you actually get Zed. Still risky, because you soon find out that Zed in a mage comp is not so brilliant, when competing with the most popular comps.

Had someone go GA zed in a six summoner build yesterday and the 300 HP makers were literally like pixels apart, I could not tell how much hp they had, but I certainly felt like they were taking no damage (even from freaking morello burn).

Zeds reproducing like bunnies.

Imagine 6 Mage, 4 Ocean with guardian angel and mage's cap on Zed. Fast 2 clones for each zed. I wonder if Zed will fill the entire space will the game crush ?

You mean this https://youtu.be/I5JkZycTZco?t=15 ?

It's actually surprising just how ineffective and hard to build it is, to be honest...

I've tried to do it so many times and I always get shut down by some dumb glacial or poison/predator comp. I'm sick of them. You need to protect the Zed until he ults, but you can't protect him easily with 5 mages.

I think the Ideal would be to have him with item 3083 , item 3026 and Dragon's Claw/Ionic Spark in a team of 6 Oceans, 2 Wardens and 2 Mystics.

So Vladimir or Syndra , Thresh , Nautilus , Nami , Lux or Qiyana (Ocean), Janna and Zed .

The idea is to have Thresh , Nautilus , Janna , Nami help Zed survive long enough (by cc'ing the enemies, giving him shields and healing him) until the Ocean's synergy procs so he can duplicate. I assume he'd need only 4 seconds to duplicate with 60 mana from the Ocean and the rest from dealing/taking damage.

But that would still get shut down by poison/predator, with their silly KogMaw item 3087 , Ionic Spark and Singed item 3165

Ipheya, I even 2 stars Vladimir with PD, Dragon Claw/Warmogs is a strong tank to survive late game.

Well, that's true. But if the objective is too flood the arena with Zeds, then it's Zed the one who needs to survive. Otherwise you get that Zed dies, and in the best case scenario Vlad wins the round for you. But that's not as funny, is it?
