@@azhaar113 I gotta be honest I don't at all see how your response is relevant to what either of us said. Bryan said he was OP 6 seasons ago, and while he was better than he is now, you could cleanse his ultimate. Zhonya's hourglass had already been around, and though it was weaker than its predecessor Zhonya's ring, it still contained the 2.5 second stasis active rendering Zed's quick burst useless and leaving him on cooldown with no reward. The idea that Zed could be OP now with the semi recently added stopwatch is ridiculous, and coupled with the fact that he needs to be ahead at least 5 minutes in gold and XP to be an asset to the team whereas others like Talon and Ekko still have utility even from behind makes him the farthest assassin from OP in the game. His shadows can make a good Zed slippery, but slippery does not mean OP. Nidalee for example is slippery and sits at a 50.4% winrate and a staggering 2% playrate, while Zed sits at a comfortable 50.2% winrate and a 5% playrate. Is he a fun champion? As a Zed main, a resounding yes. Is he a good champion? As a Zed main, a resounding no. If Faker and LL Stylish insist he's bad, chances are he's probably bad. These PBE changes are a joke, the attack speed buff is a placebo, and the removal of his R trap mechanic does less to help his target prioritization and more to reduce his scaling into the late game which is the only time Zed is doing damage like an assassin should from early to mid. The W buff is the only thing here that is worth something, the Q buff is negligible without the R AD to scale with. Riot expects Talon stats and scaling to do Talon damage with half of the baseline, gtfo.
@@techlevel80 wow big read. I was too lazy to explain myself. Thing is, Champs like Yasuo, Zed, etc need counter play which is rare in normals. And usually snowballing is easier since their kit enables that and so when you become a pro at these champs once you are fed you can turn your brain off. Not so for Champs like gangplank, Shaco.. This makes them seem really broken always. When gangplank used to be broken people didn't care as much because you still needed to time barrels etc rather than straight up run and spam everything like yi, zed, kat, etc... I might have been off topic. Might have read the comment wrong but this is what i meant.
@@techlevel80 also i didny read your whole comment, sorry. Read now. I don't disagree. But I feel they should merf the other broken crap. At his current state losing to him doesn't feel like a whole lotta bullshit. And I'm guessing winning with him is really satisfying now. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I swear every time I'm desperate and sad and see a notification about u uploading a new video...it just makes me better Thank you for everything redo love u 🖤 and hope you get challenger soon I'm sure you will 🖤
I've been trying something out that seems to do a decent amount in the Zed v Yasuo Matchup. Bringing Scorch and using your Q right before his shield comes up allows you to get a full damage Q, and break his shield the second after. C: I've won the laning phase a lot with this!
In my opinion zed became more skill gap champion than it was, but more rewarding to learn it. Cause there was some people, who missed all their Qs and still killed squishies.
This was a good showcase of the changes because your team was really behind. But it's hard to really say if these will fix Zed's problems overall. I would like to see more games personally to make a full judgement call. The changes to early game laning was ok but was it really different from before? But currently on live sever if you ulted that Draven that's 55-60 free ad to help boost the damage.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned that this is a bit of a revert from the assasin rework.They slowly do it for every assasin reworked in 2016 Edit:I'm still waiting for katarina after 2.5 years
you know league is an international game when a middle eastern boy ( me ), who plays the game on an european server, watches a russian boy, who lives in canada, speaks English and plays on the north american server, doing his best to be as good as the koreans.
Aurelion Smol dude, any assassin with 2 lethality items can almost 1 shot any champ with no armor. When I play talon, I just hit R and use nimbus cloak to run into someone, I click Q into them and walk away and they melt like butter instantly. Especially ADCs. Just gotta put it out there. Talon with nimbus cloak assassinations almost have no counter. All you do is use ult behind a wall where you’re unseen, and you get up to 300% movement speed, you e over the wall and Q the adc and just e over another wall. It’ll be like a flash just past by and oh what’s that, the adc is dead. How did that happen????
you know what's sad? banning a champion just because of a youtuber uploading a clickbait video, zed on pbe is currently weaker due to the removal of his extra ad on ult. it was the best way for zed to do anything useful late game, now he is gonna be much weaker.
I have a hard time seeing this make any viable chacnge to zed. the problem isnt his numbers, the problem is that his entire kit is simply countered by the meta
for all the people who are saying "finally op?? lmao are you trolling"..have you ever played a plat+ elo game with zed? you would understand how bad this champ was ..and honestly he isn't even getting that "op" buff..that's just the clickbait title. They only slightly improved the laning phase..mid game/late game are almost the same as before,he even loses some dmg in the late game because of the R passive removed
