Step 1:Pick Soraka, the bannana god
Step 2:wait for zed to ult a team mate
Step 3:Put down your broken af aoe silence on top of the said teammate before zed comes out of his ultimates dash.
Step 4: kill the motherfucker since all he can do is auto
(well known trick but I might as well share for newer players that hate zed)

Previous century wants it's joke back
Only Play Darius2 votesThose are for graphics shadows, Zed's shadows are unaffected.
Dunkrius2g19 votesOr you can ban him and deal with 
instead.
EDIT: Dayyummm... didn't expect 8 likes.. c:
lnting Machine4 votesOr you could just purchase a QSS, and remove his ult completely before it pops.
colesy6 voteslets just ignore the 1.5k damage he deals without the ult pop because that doesnt exist
WhiteFireOCN8 votes"1.5k damage"
Maybe if you let him go 6/0 in lane with 275 CS at 25 minutes, sure
Renaille9 votes"1.5k damage"
Maybe if you let him go 6/0 in lane with 275 CS at 25 minutes, sure
As if you can stop him from getting 275 cs.
Squarefighter4 votesAt 25 minutes 275 cs is pretty crazy on anyone including Zed lets be real
Hinro Honato3 votesThat much cs at 25 isn't even seen that often in pro games. Really if he has that much then you should be more than good enough to know how to stop him.
MercuryCannons4 votesYou can actually. You just have to not be retarded.
Byakuya Kuchiki1 voteslets just ignore the 1.5k damage he deals without the ult pop because that doesnt exist
it does however much AD he has which the average zed build would be 375~ 400 maybe unless its a full AD zed then 500-525 and if tis full AD then 1 armor item makes him do negative damage
Duchess of Deer1 votesactually i build 
and get easily over 500 ad
Kill Yourselves2 votes
And I get 420 ad
#blazeit
rebound215 votesYou know, it's not like 90% of Zed's damage is physical damage.
Man, I need a 
.
Joe Dredd6 votesExcept QSS can remove 50% of that physical damage. So yes, you do need a qss
rebound21 votesHow about we do some math, hm? Let's say that we are being ulted by a level 18 Zed, with 400 AD (including W passive). This Zed ults, lands his Q, E, and a basic attack, not including his innate passive. His Q deals 522 damage, his E deals 410 damage, and his basic attack 400 more, which totals to 1332 damage. Zed's ult deals 100% AD plus 50% of the damage dealt to the target, so 400 + 666 (oh wow, not intentional, but OK) which is 1066. So no, if you get ulted by a level 18 Zed who lands his full combo, you fucked, 50% is too little for this Fed Zed. Of course, this is completely exaggerated to prove that you should probably be building tons of fucking armor to deal with this insane damage from Fed Zed over there. QSS won't save you from the other 1332 damage this guy is throwing at us.
Joe Dredd2 votes1332 damage as burst is trash late game
rebound21 votesIf you did the math with me, you'd know... that it's actually 2398 damage, plus the missing damage from Zed's passive, which would make this more of 2500+. That means he could 100-0 a squishy ADC or mid laner in 3 seconds. Pretty trashy.
Joe Dredd1 votesWhich is why you have qss you nard.
Dunkrius2g1 votesAnd then you realize that his aa deal 1.2k damage and QWE is almost his health. Again y do you need qss if you are still fucked? It is good to have qss in team fights but if u get caught u r fucked and that is all. Zanyas? Zanyas? R again

Or you could just purchase a QSS, and remove his ult completely before it pops.
And have useless MR because Zed deals physical damage
MercuryCannons2 votesand realize then that he is a melee champion and if you don't know how to cc/kite a melee champion you don't deserve to be allowed to play League of legends.
Baron of Bread3 votesAh yes, let me kite your two gap closers, your slow, your ranged spells, and your speed boost (Youmuu's, see it a lot). All while not having a dash or hard cc. Yup, I must be terrible if I can't kite you.
Freljordan1 votesThe point is that it removes his debuff, which actually helps a lot since he deals 20% increased damage to whoever has the ultimate mark and then the pop on top of it. This doesn't mean you dont need armor/health to survive him, but it will significantly reduce his damage output to you if he is consistantly ultimating you. Basically it just makes it so he cant instanuke you, but has to stay around to finish the kill (actually commiting) and your team can capitalize and kill him before he can finish the job is the hope
TLDR: end all beat all against zed? no way. Does it help a lot? yes, yes it does.
Hinro Honato4 votesYou could just play swain.
Freljordan3 votesor cho, or kayle
Smitty Manjensen3 votesmeanwhile he has 550 ad and around 1.2 as to attack you but it's k he's silenced.
Earl Eulrich2 votesor he went with the IE build and just kills the ADC with two hits without even proccing deathmark to begin with. Soraka is really strong to counter panth though.
SoI Invictus2 votesBan him? LOL
BD Wilton2 votesJust ban him
The Chin1 votesmid lane soraka, let's go boyz!
De Middle Man1 votesstill viable, just takes more skill :/
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesAlso works against . Man, pre-change Soraka was easier, since all you do is point & click on them.
Kapppaccino1 votes" kill the motherfucker since all he can do is auto" xD I read that in shreks voice for whatever reason
YOU BEEN WARNED1 votesYeah, you go pick .
Competent will wait for you to drop E in teamfights then go for you instead. Because you know, Soraka has no escape.
When playing against , you go for the healer first. Always.
That means when YOU are playing , you have to play like a little bitch and take minimum risk. Be afraid of getting in E range, because that will fk you over.
Countering Zed with most mechanics isn't fun, heck using 
ult is probably more fun because he can take less risk using his E. [ ZILEAN CURRENTLY IS A BAD CHAMPION TOO ]
Aych Pii1 votesHow to counter Zed: type in chat "/mute (Zed player's summoner name)" and you won't have to deal with all the BM you'd otherwise be guaranteed to receive over allchat. Tried this last time I saw a Zed and it worked like a charm, I could tell from his movements that he was spamming laugh but it was blissfully inaudible to me.
JJI7441 votesWell known fact: Your teammate will flash/dash/run out of the silence zone before Zed appears. I played Soraka a few times for this exact purpose, in 2 out of 3 matches, my ADC would use their dash immediately and bring Zed to safety.
(I tried waiting until Zed appears to place the zone, which kinda works, but Zed can get off his Q+E+BotRK+Ignite in about .2s.)
