You have to loose if you ever plan to win my friend.
I felt the same way, only thing is I had no one to teach me how to use him. What Zed needs is Armor Penetration Marks, preferably Health Seals and Magic Resist/Cooldown Glyphs. Also get some Attack Damage Quintessences (and maybe some more Armor Penetration or Cooldown). IT's best to always start Longsword, Vision Ward, 3 Heath Potion and build Longsword to either Brutalizer or Hexdrinder (depending if your opponent is AP or not). Main items should be Youmuu's Ghostblade, Blade of the Ruined King and a Guardian Angel mid to late game, don't forget boots (build them depending on your preference). Masteries depend on you, since most people go with what they think is right (though the same could be said about the Runes I guess). Best way to start is Q, W, E get R at 6, Q, E, R and W in that order (at least that's how I do it). Always keep an eye out for enemy positioning so you can hit them with your Q, especially when using both yours and the shadow's. Try to only ult when enemy is half health or less so you can also get your passives damage as well (if you have Youmuu's and/or BORK use their actives as well). You can use your W to poke with your Q or keep it to escape in case of low health and are being ganked. Always keep in mind that you have a shadow from your ult right where you ulted from so you can switch back if you are close to dying or tower diving with your ult. For Summoner Spells it's best to go Ignite and Flash or Teleport (try to save ignite for your ult). I think that covers all the bases.

First items should be Long Sword, 3 Health Potions and Warding Totem.
During laning phase you can use your Q to harass your opponent or to farm, depending on who your opponent is/how youre performing. Zed can typically farm under tower easier than most other champions in the game because of his passive, so if youre not doing so hot you can do this.
First back you should turn your Long Sword into either a Brutalizer or, preferably, Bilgewater Cutlass. Keep in mind youll want to get some Health Potions as well and a ward (pink preferably, but green can suffice), so youll want to choose the weapon option that will allow you to do this.
In lane you can choose to use your W to harass your opponent more/easier, or save it to use defensively if youre not that comfortable or you have no wards to see incoming ganks. Keep in mind that once you have your ult you can use it defensively to avoid tons of CC/damage from an opponent(s) if need be.
In the event you cant get kills on your lane opponent, its sometimes best to roam to bot/top to try and pick up kills in other lanes. Ideally you would shove your wave to the enemy tower and then roam.
A good item build should include: 
Some situationally useful items include: 
Get in the habit of upgrading your trinket as well, not just for Zed but everyone. The upgrades are cheap and incredibly valuable.
