Hai!
My name is Lemonos, and here I'm about to show you how to play Zed decently.

I mostly play assassins, and Zed is almost in every matchup my champion of choice.

I hope that I can help you out, and of course get you an inside look of Zed.

Feel free to email me at: Lemonos182@gmail.com for any questions you have about this topic.

+ No mana
+ High Poke
+ Insane damage
+ Strong in all times of the game
+ Gap-closer/escape
+ Always something to learn
+ Always a strong pick
+ Looks epic
+ Epic Voiceing

- Very low burst when behind
- Needs to be played often to play well
- Needs proper Runes in order to be played well
- Countered by escapes / Zhonyas / Zhonya-like Abilities

So first of all, the main runes i use are in shown above anyway.
These deal with AP champions in the middle lane.

Here i show you, which runes you should go for if you are laning against another AD Champion.

Taking :
9x Armor Pen. Marks
9x Armor Seals
5x CDR Glyphs
4x MRES Glyphs
and either 3x Armor Pen. or Flat AD.

These are the only masteries you should be using on Zed.
I do not think, that you can vary here.

In general, Zed is a farm MONSTER!
You can safe farm with your Q, you can get 2 or more minions at once with your E.
Especially your passive let's you farm easily.

Also, you have a huge wave clear with Zed, using the technique below.
Play Video
(W + Q/E + Q/E)

In team fights, you should always go for their most dangerous champion. (=very often ADC).
You can pretty much kill everyone in the game, if you are not behind.
Just make sure you ult before you land something, and you will be ok.

Hey again! =)

Thanks for checking out my guide, and reading it to the end!

You are awesome!!

I wish you good luck, and a lot of fun with ZED!
