Edit: Two points
A) I stopped playing Zed and went up 4 divisions of Plat
B) I just watched Zed fail to deal any damage to a 400 HP TF using his entire combo because TF had Seeker's Armguard
Clearly a great champion
He just doesn't cut it.
I've been trying to make him work at Plat for some time now, and I give up.
Zed is supposed to be a glass cannon assassin who can mid or top. Use your shadows to harass and make plays. Take out a key target in a teamfight and escape.
Except you cant.
No matter how fed you get, you cannot carry a game as Zed. sure you might be able to instagib a carry in a teamfight mid/late-mid game, and do some aoe damage, but you will quickly become a ninja punching bag.
His laning is absolutely awful until 4-6. You do 0 damage to anyone that opens Cloth 5 (which everyone can because hur dur Seekers Armguard), your W is on a massive CD.
Your Q is hilariously bad, being narrow, slow and short ranged. You rely on W/E combos to harass because of how unreliable your Q is.
You cant duel bruisers in lane, and your primary harass method is also your escape. And on a 23 second CD. You are forced max W second because A) your Q is terrible and B) The CD and energy return suck until you get levels in it. And you are reliant on it for harass/gapclosing/escaping.
In lane against an AP champ, they will simply start cloth 5, rush Seekers Armguard and Zhonya's, and you will never be able to trade with or duel them. All you do is waveclear and try to roam.
Then we move to teamfights
Most teamfights usually boil down to this
You ult the most fed carry
They get 300 points of shield/heals from someone
You EQ ignite AA and then get stunned
E again and try to W away, usually dying
Most of the time your target survives unless you are massively fed
Carries build warmogs now, and Zed needs AD to be relevant. He suffers from Talon syndrome of being poor in sustained combat (Dont even try to tell me his E is good for sustained combat, you're OOE after 1.5 combos). They will likely also have a Bulwark on their team.
Oh and lets not forget
Senior Member
Sup Hawke, bout damn time we are finally on the same page on something. Reynfall and I have been arguing basically what you said for weeks.
Personally, I think his actual power level is sufficient. It's simply in his mechanics. His kit design and presentation just don't match his gameplay, and he has a major conflict of playstyle. I can honestly say that I am genuinely bewildered about why Zed is even an energy hero.
If it makes you feel better. Riot feels it necessary to nerf his E and make his laughably bad Q only slightly better. Not easier to hit, not faster, not more cost efficient, just do more damage.
Zed's mid game is atrocious as well, he simply can't get tanky enough while doing enough damage to actually do his job. By the time late game rolls around you'll get bursted down so fast by someone like Lux or Anivia, that the ADC just melts you in 3 seconds.
Personally I think he's good, although I'm not plat so I can't really say much.
Yma Sumac
It's true
he's actually forced to adapt to meta by going warmogs and becoming another tanky derps that facerolls in teamfights
His W and R is just a fancy Gap closer. and he spams E for tons of damage (tm)
it's kind of sad really
Just saying but the new BortK is going to work really well with Zed. The on demand nuke helps his ultimate, and the AS + % current dmg just helps him anet some more dmg during ult.
Personally, I just think that Zed is just wayyyyyyyyy too dependent on his ultimate for damage, without Ulti he cant do anything.
anyways, I've seen him work in korean touneys quite okay, but its still hard to say.

600- So, how's everybody's bracket? Anything grab you from the weekend? For me it was that blocks don't exist in college ball… They're ALL charges, evidently… Also, care to make a new bracket? Starting from Sweet 16?
645- I actually think the Shane Lechler signing is a pretty significant one… Texans weakest unit just got better, even if Donnie Jones was good last year… Plus… Should they let Manning return punts?
700- It's like the Astros don't want their fans to like them… http://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/astros/article/Dierker-severs-relationship-with-Astros-4378105.php?t= c1c356ef77d8ff4dd2 They let desahies go… They let this Comcast disaster happen… They go with the lowest payroll ever… The jack up prices on opening day… Crane says those idiotic things… And now, this??? By the way, the same EXACT thing happened in KC with Frank White… And it's a signal of clueless ownership…
715- Texans and Ed Reed… Who are these people who are down on this move? Do people really think Glover Quin or Michael Huff are currently better players??? I mean, really?
730- The Ravens sure are savvy, tho…Dumervil is better than Kriger and they got him cheaper without a huge long term commitment… Only 2.5M against this years cap even tho he's making 8.5M…
Which AFC playoff teams got better… Which ones got worse… Which ones stayed in neutral?
745- NO HUDDLE… 2 commercials, one is brilliant (the AT&T faster is better with little kids) and one makes me furious (the coke peaceful vandal one)… I want to discuss
815- Rockets Spurs and latest on playoffs…
845- Brackets! Who is the favorite out of who is left? And is college basketball becoming less and less watchable? Plus… Straw's guy, and my guy too, Marshall Henderson has gotten a FREE pass by the media… Let me tell y'all something about Slim Shady…
900- Astros and Dierker redux from 7am…
930- Wade Phillips redux…

"Gestures lack critical clues deemed essential for successful human-computer interaction. Because gestures are ephemeral, they do not leave behind any record of their path, which means that if one makes a gesture and either gets no response or the wrong response, there is little information available to help understand why. The requisite feedback is lacking. Moreover, a pure gestural system makes it difficult to discover the set of possibilities and the precise dynamics of execution. These problems can be overcome, of course, but only by adding conventional interface elements, such as menus, help systems, traces, tutorials, undo operations, and other forms of feedback and guides." […]
"Gestural systems are no different from any other form of interaction. They need to follow the basic rules of interaction design, which means well-defined modes of expression, a clear conceptual model of the way they interact with the system, their consequences, and means of navigating unintended consequences. As a result, means of providing feedback, explicit hints as to possible actions, and guides for how they are to be conducted are required."
6 April 2010
Natural user interfaces are not natural
In his bimonthly column in the ACM CHI magazine, Interactions, Donald Norman argues that most gestures are neither natural nor easy to learn or remember.
