Ok I haven't been on mobafire in a long while, came beck just to see if the guide quality improved, obviously wanted to check guides for my main first, this guide is EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. Please if you are new to zed don't use this, it's garbage.

Although I highly respect your guide, I dislike certain items like the Infinity Edge since Zed is all about go in kill and go out. Infinity Edge is for champions that rely on AA and not burst spells on damage. Get your facts about Zed straight.

(Your money comes back to you ;) The only difference is that I give an honest explanation as to why I downvoted, unlike your vain troll-votes in order to stop me from getting my Zed guide top-rated.

I just read the comments on your guide. I lol'd. Nice try trollvoting mine to keep yours on top.

No matter how much you will troll vote my guide, I will never give up and I will always keep improving it. Cheaters never win.

Just so people know whose guide they are reading.

250 games total from which only 15 are Zed games.

Pathetic troll voter.

god this is the worst guide i have ever seen in my life. how does a ****py guide like this get so popular? sorry I dont want to sound like "that guy" but this is so ridiculous as to how a guide like this gets so many views. Obviously this person put no time and effort into this guide and does not have any skill with zed whatsoever. Even if "tacticalcookies" has played 100+ games with zed this guide still sucks.

Hey man I want to comment on your Jungle Guide

I think its not that great

you should definitely skill Q instead of W on lvl 2 cause it doesnt double the dmg and the energy gained is not as high as the energy lost
Furthermore I think Lizard Elder is a better pick for him as it has CDR and Attackdamage + a pretty badass passive that helps clearing camps fast

And I dont like Hydra that much cause Zed was not designed as an autoattack champ so I would replace it with a BC

The rest is pretty fine nice In Depth look at the Chamiopn and stuff

But I would really appreciate if you could take a look at the points I mentioned

What are your thoughts on picking up two dorans blades early and then the brutalizer before the BF sword?

I doubt you'd do tons of damage with this build. Maybe half of one ton. Phreak must have been disappointed.

Skill order is garbage, as are the masteries. Those >500k people reading this guide who didn't know any better are now building lane Zed with Tough Skin and buying Infinity Edge. Thanks a lot.

This is the only reason why this build should be frowned upon. IMO, Q should be maxed by 9. Tough Skin is unnecessary. Infinity Edge should be replaced with Ravenous Hydra.

Other then this, the general build itself is perfect for destroying your lane, and this build shouldn't be downvoted(only a little bit of modifications are necessary to meet our needs).

As for this, yes you do tons of damage. The ADC gets annihilated within 3-5 hits if you managed to get a lot of farm.

What the legitimate ****.

Guides like these are why mobafire has a bad reputation.

Infinity Edge and Frozen Mallet are just such subpar items that nobody who knows what they're doing ever builds them. You have to scroll several pages to get to the first IE (and it's also a loss, which should speak volumes about how bad it is). I gave up searching for a Frozen Mallet after 20-30 pages; in all likelihood it isn't built even once.

Skill order is garbage, as are the masteries. Those >500k people reading this guide who didn't know any better are now building lane Zed with Tough Skin and buying Infinity Edge. Thanks a lot.

Ok just ignore my post, I dont mind ._.

What League are you in BTW?

Here I'll reposd incase you missed it


Honestly your skill order is very bad. You should always be maxing E, as its DPS and burst output is higher unless you can hit 2-3 ninja stars, which is unreliable even for good players. A rule of thumb is to always max one skill by 9, then 13, 16 and 18. never at 12, 13, 16 and 18. Its just plain stupid.

The vast majority of Zed players will max E then W, but in the new patch it might be better to max E then W, but E maxing is always the best.

I very much dislike MoBAfire because anyone can make guides, and are often made by low Elo players. Only a few select champions should not max skills by 9, 13, 16 and 18 (Mundo the only one that comes to mind), its just better.

Last but not least, boots 3 is a very bad start now. ADCs start longsword pots,/dorans, supports wards and pots, jungles machete 5, mid and top can start cloth 5, 9 pots 2 wards, 11 pots 1 ward, or 13 pots, flask, 3, flask 1 and ward, longsword 2, red elixir 4 and ward, and red elixir 6 pots. Boots 3 has fallen out of favor because of S3 changes, you dont need them to avoid ganks/avoid skillshots anymore, because of how S3 changed it.

I am gold III


To be honest with you, I am not a hardcore league player, no offence. I tend to play blind and draft most of the time, I'm not a fan of ranked. Please don't jump onto my guide and bagging on me. I may not be a "Gold III" player, but I know for a fact I can damn well play Zed. Thanks for the feedback, nonetheless, but with all due respect, hopefully I won't be running into you on the Fields of Justice.

This build rapes. Hard. Although instead of Infinity Edge I take Ravenous Hydra. Nevertheless, this build will facerape every squishy. My first game as Zed and I went 6-1. I destroyed my mid lane.

IMO, max Q all the way. It's what helped me annihilate mid. Also, the points you put into defense seem pretty weird. Switch those up to something more appropriate in laning.

Have a vote.


This is what I absolutely love to hear! Thanks chap! :)
