You basically have to kill this guy 2x so ONLY use your R after he uses his first
Fizz
E basically gets rid of Death mark and outscales you pretty hard. Try to shut his early game down really hard if you can
Ahri
Pretty annoying both mid game champs if behind rush hex drinker and merc for sustain against her either one of you can snowball pretty hard
LeBlanc
Skill match up just don't take to much poke earlier on
Sylas
Really depends on the runes choice if conquer no point in even trading him tbh. Farm shove way and look for kills in other lanes
Orianna
Shut her down early on and don't die to her as she will snowball and massively out scale you!
Akali
Her Entire Kit is a zed counter but at the same time its still a skill match up in my opinion. Due to micro stun removal you should have a easier time killing her
Irelia
Will be shoved under tower try to farm it out under tower and ask for jungle help
Yasuo
Azir
Anivia
Pretty annoying to deal with because of passive if she misses her stun you can all in her
Aurelion Sol
Kassadin
Shut down early as he outscales you really HARD
Katarina
Laning is Free but we all know kat doesnt lane so ping when shes missing.
Cassiopeia
Don't get hit by her Q and your good in lane just play safe and take short trades. Kinda of a weird interaction with her R that if you R first you some how will instantly get stunned by her R if she uses it.
Zoe
Xerath
Talon
Use your R when ever he R's you lose levels 1-3 but win 3-6 due to your harrass combo
Vladimir
This champ will outscale and take no dmg from you just rush excutioner calling and get hex merc and look for roams when ever you can. Only way to kill him is if he uses W before you R
Diana
If she takes counter you lose almost every trade so look to poke her. If she takes electrocute you can dodge all her burst with you R and look to one shot her
Garen
Yone
Really easy match but be mindful of his Phantom Dance shield!
Annie
Dodge her stun R combo with your R
Malphite
If mal is picked mid just dodge at this point to tanky and you get punished hard for roaming as it will let him scale for free with armor
Syndra
Its a hit or miss you really player dependent overall she outscales you.
Riven
You just dont win at any point in lane play safe and last hit with Q. Also avoid trades.
Twisted Fate
Normaly he plays passive always back when gold card is up incase gank from enemy jg.
Lucian
Laning phase is pretty yikes but level 6 is where you can start having more options to kill him.
Galio
He has bad AD matchups but he also has alot of cc and a better teamfight. try not to get poked to much in laning phase so you can match his early roams.
Pantheon
unplayable any chance you have is just straight up out smarting him with your combos. Even then he can still just E it all. He does fall off pretty hard so you can also play safe and look to out scale him
Viktor
laning is tricky he has alot of poke and outscales you really hard look to get as much early game lead as you can by invading enemy JG or looking for side lane kills.
Rumble
Even mainly because you have poke but his early game aoe in teamfights is a problem so look to kill him as fast you can.
Qiyana
Skill matchup she has a better teamfight but id say laning is more in your favor due to having more poke. You want to use your W carefully and you dont wanna miss your electrocute proc or else you will just get all in by her.
Viego
You can poke him and burst him pretty easily dont look for extended trades
Gwen
Tricky matchup don't trade with her just look to poke and roam when you can
Hello Guys my Name is Tatty Im a Diamond 4 zed one trick with currently over 1 million points on Zed. Iv been playing zed for 4 seasons now and i thought its time to break down the basics to building zed and understanding some of his matchups. Hopefully this helps new comers to zed improve and dominate the rift!
