Early game, u have 0 Chance, he just outdamages and outsustaines you. Ask your Jungler for early help and try to hit a double Q post 6, if u manage your Cooldowns well and dodge his third Q you can kill him with Ignite.

Introduction

Hey :)

Im a Zed One Trick Pony with approximately 2k+ Games on him.
This Guide will mostly cover Itemization and most common Match-Ups.
Zed is an extremely hard Champion to Master so if you are New to him, it will take his
time to learn him in order to understand his Win Conditions and make the most out of his
strengths and even conceal his weaknesses, perhaps.

Enjoy :)

Pros / Cons

Pros:

- High outplay potential
- High damage output if your combo is done in a proper way
- Easy farming (even under turret)
- If your team looses, you can Splitpush
- Scales well into the Midgame
- Multiple escape possibilities
- High learning curve

Cons:

- No hard cc
- Falls off Lategame
- Easily countered by Zhonyas/Stopwatch/GA
- High Cooldown on W (which is the only way to poke properly)
- Only scales with Items, not the best Base Damage
- Weak pre LvL 3
- High learning curve

Summary

Zed works very well with CC-oriented Team Comps who have high Magic Damage output.
You can even pick him Toplane if the Matchup kinda allows up. (e.g. Quinn, Riven).

However, it will actually take a lot of time learning this Champion, as I already mentioned.

If you have any further question, feel free to ask :)
