How to play Zed

I mained Zed before and am Bronze I so you know I am pro at the game so I thought I would share some of what I know, it's not all of it cus there is so much to Zed so I just put in the basics

For Runes: Armor Pen quints armor pen marks armor pen seals and armor pen glyphs

Masteries: Do an assassin page, like 21-9-0 or something, I go 22-8-0 so I do the dmgs

Ok now for the game play and such

You are gona grab a long sword and 3 pots but dont forget trinket, u can get any one u want btw but I usually get warding totem cus it lasts like a ward unlike scrying orb so I can use the vision for mid lane.

You would think that you would rush bork and brutalizer or something but normally ur against a mage in mid so go hexdrinker plus it saves ur life. Also always remember to buy wards on ur backs unless ur full build cus u can use ur upgraded trinket, Wards are only 75 gold and last twice as long as the warding totem trinket, you are also gonna want a pink and put it in a bush that barely anyone one wants to go into cus pinks dont go invisible. So since ppl like armor pen on zed just get all armor pen, basically get yassomumuyaous ghost blade, you may be thinking, but it is only 30 dmg and that is dumb, remember just go armor pen, and leave the dmg for 2 items cus there are only so many armor pen items in the game. After u build as much armor pen as u can go for some cdr and dmg, Im talking about boots of lucidity and essence reaver NOTE BT DOESNT STACK LIFE STEAL anyways u are gona want dmg and cdr cus ur an ad caster and are gona waste all of ur abilities to 100-0 aka to kill a guy for 12 seconds and then be useless until ur abilities come back up.

NEVER FORGET ABOUT ZEDS SHADOWS EVER I make this bold cus it is very important, even zed players themselves can forget about their shadows and will lose a kill, remember zeds shadows copy all of his abilities, even his laugh , yep his laugh too try it.

Another thing, Zed has an attack rating of 9 and can easily last hit minions with a swift auto attack, and vayne has an attack power of 10 and cant last hit for shit with q as good as zed so... don't believe everything you see on tv

Zeds shadowed abilities restore energy and his shadow e slows and his reulgar e reduces w cd, but u probably wont remember that so Ill go to something else

Most people say a good harrass combo on zed is weq or wqe but that uses a lot of energy so I just use e and auto most of the time and kite with q, it conserves energy for when u need to escape

Also people generally play zed mid but he is also good top like against garen who is a measly creature that can't do much to u unlike the slippery mid laners of today like yasasasow

A full build on zed could look something like this item 3142 item 3071 item 3035 item 3074 item 3508 item 3156 Optional -> item 3158 But well U can just build whatever u want on zed really as long as it is attack damage, you could build muranamune item 3004 if u wanted

Hope this helps and remember, sometimes there are just bad games

We need a mid laner for our ranked team! Zed would fit the composition perfectly! We'll test your meddle in a 1v1 tournament though :3 sign up here! :D http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/nK60l83X-1v1-tournament-riot-points-to-the-winner
