Easy to kill since you can just all in him and theres nothing he can do.
Vel'Koz
All in is very easy. Dont getc omboed by vel koz and you are fine. Pressure him hard and make sure not to get shoved. Keep pushing vs vel koz.
Twisted Fate
Dodge his gold card with your ultimate. Basically a free lane for you. You outpoke him and you dictate all trades.
Veigar
You just outpoke him so hard in lane and if you buy a hexdrinker, its pretty hard for him to kill you but easy for you you to kill him.
Lux
Just dodge her E and Q, Easy lane
Akali
You need to abuse her early on with your w-e-q. Later on 1v1ing her is tricky. You need a pink ward to 1v1 her since if you ult her she can just w and hide.Just don't 1v1 her without pink ward and you will most likely win.
Brand
Brand is a okay match up for Zed. Harass as much as possible and dodge his W. Fast swapping after you ult is important to dodging his CC.
Cassiopeia
Cass can actually trade well with you early. If you dodge her q and just poke her out with your w-e-q, you win lane early. When she ults look back( i know easier said than done). Not that hard of a lane and you beat her 1v1 as long as you dodge her ult.
Annie
Annie is a so-so match up for Zed. Annie has the CC and damage to beat Zed, but it's up to the Zed player to dodge what you can. Doran's shield is recommended against her due to her constantly auto attacking you with her large range.
Anivia
Annoying because of her passive. Poke her out early when she is gated by mana. Later on, dont commit too hard on all in'ing her since she has her egg. Also try not to get hit by her q.
Katarina
Since she has no cc, she is an easy kill. Just poke her early on with w-e-q and then lv6 you could kill her since she has nothing to stop you.Hexdrinker rush is not bad.
Fizz
Skill matchup. You outpoke him pre-6 but care for lv 6 all in by fizz.Hexdrinker rush is needed. Make sure to dodge some of his abilities with your ult. Dont all in him pre 6 unless you poked him very hard since fizz is very good at winning all-ins.Just keep poking until he is low enough for the all in.
Kassadin
Since kass is weak to ad assassins, you destroy him early on. You can poke him hard with w-e-q. Later on you might lose 1v1 when he gets items such as zhonyas though so make sure to abuse his weak early and roam
Ryze
Ryze is a very hard match up. Most Ryzes will start cloth armor and will sustain heavily with good damage and CC. It is recommended that you play very safe and ask for ganks. After he gets frozen heart it is more worth it to roam.
Karthus
Easy to poke out early since he is very immobile and you can keep all-in'ing him after 6. Just care about turret dives since if you get too low he can ult you and kill you.
Yasuo
Use q to pop his passive shield and wait until he pops windwall to trade with w-e-q.
Talon
Talon is a skill based lane. Early harass is very essential because he most likely will be starting flask. Talon has better scaling than you in lane so pick your fights carefully and dodge key abilities with W or R. Talons like to max W so dodging that is most of his damage.
Orianna
Pretty easy lane. Just poke her out early and make sure to dodge her ult with your ult. Before you get lv 3 just farm with q dont get poked out before lv 3 or you lose pressure.
Diana
Diana is one of Zed's counter picks. Diana should take W first, out damage you, and survive early with the shield it grants. If a Diana takes Q first attempt to trade as much as possible with auto attacks. Ganks are important in this match up and to force fights that you know you can win.
Xerath
Easy to dodge his spells and all in.
Ahri
Make sure to not go in until she uses her charm and when she does ult to dodge it. Early on you can poke her hard.However she could outplay you if u ult first before she charms and she charms you immedietly after your ult
LeBlanc
Skill Matchup. You are favored lv 6 though since you can dodge her damage with your ult.
Taliyah
Annoying but if you dodge her spells you will win.
Malzahar
Hard to all in and you get poked early. Shield is also annoying. only way to win is popping his passive shield with q and then poke him out while avoiding his poke. Wait till he burns ult until you use your ult. You can win 1v1 later when you get qss.
Viktor
Poke him early and pressure him so that his upgraded core is delayed. Before he gets it, you can just keep shoving him and poking him under turret. Once he gets it, he will most like ly just try to e the wave and keep shoving you. You can w-e-q and just all in him after 6 if he ever wastes his w.
Syndra
You can easily get poked out however, grab a hexdrinker, counter her ulti and you should be good to go.
