They aren't worth it.



Probably, would need to do math on that.


If you're snowballing but don't need to roam, CDR boots are quite useful if they don't have much CC. More ult=more kills.

+1'd the guide, overall very informative info backed w/testing and well worded.

i do have a question tho about zed, more-so in general than directly in relation to your guide, is it ever ok to NOT build ? i've rummaged through countless zed guides and it seems to be the holy grail of items on him because every1 builds it no matter what. i've tried experimenting with zed involving diff. rune/item builds and while botrk works well on zed in many ways(utility of the slow/increased burst from %dmg active and increased attack speed) i cant help but feeling as if there aren't better options. what are your thoughts on this?


Ever since its latest changes I really feel that most Zed players simply use it out of habit, because the active got a really big nerf. Ravenous Hydra provides three times the AD, an active that does provide less initial damage but ups your overall survivability, DPS, and wave clear, and move life steal.

For sticking power I think Youmuu's Ghostblade is a much better pickup than Ruined King atm. In short, BotRK provides stats that overall up your dps more than your burst, which isn't what Zed is looking for. Also it makes you really reliant on the active. Ravenous Hydra is a lot stronger, personally.

Atm I'm rewriting a big amount of the guide as well as updating the cheat sheet. Just haven't got around completing it.

OK i dont leave coments and **** like this.
I dont have half of the runes you say to have as i main sc2 not LoL but i like fighing like this so I play from time to time for fun. I played zed first vs a friend's singed and wrecked him. So not giving a **** about ranked cause its just a game I played Zed in a ranked game. I vsed fiz and didnt have a real clue how to truly play Zed. I missed my q's and i almost never hit with a e. We lost thou mostly due to our suport never playing but meh. SO to the good part. I desided that i liked the general way Zed was played but wanted to know more. So here i went to look for some "tips an tricks" Well after reading it all and the comments to see why you picked things like items I played a match right after patch. 9-5-4 was what i ened vs a always sheilded mord. Thank you for this build, using it i knew how to so cool combos and all that. The thing is I think it would help your guide to add in 1 more secton namly the vs section where you talk about some match ups even if its in a larger scale then talking about each char. such as what should your mind set be when vsed a mord like char what about lux or a fiora. well i hope you can read this as i cant spell worth ****. again thanks.

Its just you say situational there and then in your cheatsheet you say its the best overall.
Also Feast restores one mana... BURN THAT MANA :P
Also, while reading, I dont understand if you want the CDR for late game why not scaling?


It's situational in the sense that you don't need it in most matchups, but there's no need to pass on it.
Well in order to not overcap ever, you'd need 15% (unless you're buying ), which is 9 scaling CDR Glyphs. I've tested them, and they're good, but I don't think it's worth sacrificing magic resist for it.

X_X Fine Ill get feast since Zed has no crits *grumbles*
Also, Banshee's and Visage Desc in Items need fixing badly lol(Cheatsheet -> Items Section Inconsistent bro).


The BV description is slightly outdated but otherwise I don't see what you mean. And yea Feast is pretty good atm. So much extra sustain.

Your guide isn't consistent, in the bit you wrote the mastery page hasn't got a point in feast, where-as the notes/cheat sheet bit (With all the build ect) shows a point in feast, which is right for Season 4?


Forgot to update the mastery screenshot, thanks for pointing out. The cheat sheet is correct, one should opt for Feast .

EDIT: Screenshot updated.
