Heyo, Dark haverst is for sure an unusual choice, i havent played that rune i years :D, and when i did i only really did in jungle. I do think that my comet page with gathering storm has somewhat similar or maybe even better scaling, first strike also scales great it just makes the laning phase really hard and zed already struggles there a lot.

Now after all that being said, your setup cloud still be good, as long as you feel like its good enough for you. Keep in mind that not a lot of champs run Dark Harvest in lane because its scales in so late, so against really aggressive matchups you might need to change it (VS like Yasuo LB Kata Ekko), but if you can reach the late game its definitely good.

I would recommend running legend: haste and cut down as secondary runes for even more scaling but its up to you. :)

Hi, sorry you had to wait for so long for my answer, i didn't play the game for a long time thats why i didnt answer. The popular conqueror eclipse-cleaver bruiser build requires a different playstyle compared to other assassin builds and since i dont really like it i figured i wont put it in my guide either. Its for sure a good option, but with LDR having giantslayer again its not really necessarily to play even against tanks. But still, its a very high skill ceiling build with lots of potential, if you get good with it or just simply enjoy it more than other builds keep using it.

As for your item suggestions, axiom arc is great in a lot of games but i run axiom arcanist and other haste runes so my ult cd is already really low, thats why i dont mention it. I think its better to buy something like Shojin for more damage or edge of night insted.

Umbral is in a weird spot right now, no one really buys it on zed but it might be good, i dont really know tbh. I think hubris is just a better dirk item, specially after it got buffed recently.

Again, sorry for the long wait, thats totally on me.

Hey!

Your totally correct, eclipse is one of the best first items to buy on zed and i dont know why i didn't even mention it in this guide. I'll make some adjustments later during the day and add the eclipse build that i've been using as well.

I do think that going more lethality is better this season, but in matchups where you can't win without it, its a must.

It should work fine, you need to copy the text in the item build section and in-game go to "items" tab and click on "Import item sets" and then "Paste copied set"

I always update is so its the same as it is in this guide :)

It might not show up in aram tho.. that gamemode is weird with item sets...

Yes, it was, sorry for not changing it in time i kinda forgot about it.

Hi there i kinda didnt notice your comment but i hope im not too late. The 3 main keystones are Electrocute, First Strike and Conqueror. I dont really like the way First Strike plays since it makes your early a lot harder and thats also the weakest stage of Zed so i just dont use the rune anymore. I take electrocute most of the time since its just the most consistant rune. Its mainly good against mages with or ranged champs but can be played into every matchup, but sometimes you wanna take conqueror. Conq is better than electro when you are taking longer trades like against vlad irelia or yasuo. Lets take vladimir for example. The way you easily win the vlad matchup is you all in him at lvl 3 or 4. After WEQ lands on vlad you swap in and you need to aa him a bunch of times and thats where conqueror outshines electrocute. Its also better than electro in almost every teamfight. Im planning to make the guide more in-depth in the future and i'll explain how to play with both keystones. In a nutshell against burst champs, ranged champs and mages you cant go wrong with electro, but give conqueror a try into a few short ranged champs like yasuo, irelia, vlad. Hope this little comment helps you and to everyone who reads it.

I take Conqueror against melee champs like Yasuo or when the enemy team has 3 or more tanky champs. Otherwise i take electrocute.
