The choice depends on what you are looking for.
Pros: Very good ganking capability after 6, unconditional mobility, has charges of stealth on his ultimate, good at dueling in the jungle, his passive gives him surprising amounts of damage even early on that you can use to catch your opponent off guard, and he deletes people late game when he gets sufficient AD.
Cons: He brings little utility to a team fight, he's easily kited, his jump is quite telegraphed to an organized team, and true vision destroys him. Additionally, he is especially weak in team fights, because he is an assassin with one mobility spell. If he uses it to engage, he can't leave unless he gets a kill. He's best for chasing down straddlers and cleaning up fights with weak opponents. Other than that, team fights aren't really an option for him.
Pros: He has a good laning phase that's relatively safe, his passive makes him one of the easiest champions to farm under turret with, his mobility makes him hard to track and escape, his ultimate allows him to bait out important abilities and dodge them, and his double or triple shuriken can shred entire teams. Additionally, he has plenty of AoE damage later on, sometimes not even requiring you to use Death Mark.
Cons: He is gated heavily by energy, his mobility has clear windows of opportunity, very vulnerable and squishy when he doesn't have his shadows at his disposal. QSS and Zhonya's are his worst nightmare, his combo is predictable, and the shurikens are sometimes hard to land on mobile carries. Additionally, he has a clear area of escape (his shadow), so his mobility is conditional in a way.
If you want to have fun in casuals, go for . He's a tad weak right now since other assassin junglers (
) can do his job better.
If you want a reliable mid laner who you wouldn't mind mastering after plenty of practice, go for , since his ability to destroy carries in the midst of the chaos we call team fights is priceless.
I mained both but I dropped Khazix (cause I like mid more than jungle)
I would suggest
Advantages
- Burst is strong
- Passive makes CSing brain-dead easy
- VERY versatile and safe
- If you master Zed, you can get out of many situations
- Laning phase is usually easy with Zed
- His ult is amazing at killing in lane and assassinating
Disadvantages
- Has a somewhat "high" skill cap
- Zed is an indirect carry champion. He doesn't carry by getting penta kills when fed because he can only kill when his ult is up (unless the enemy is stupid enough to 1v1-auto attack him). Instead, Zed indirectly carries by split pushing, putting pressure, taking down the adc, etc.
- Zed kills revolves around his ult
