This Guide will work better the more skilled you are! Its a big difference if you are a Master Jungle Main and use this strat or if you are a silver hardstuck Mid Main who tries to climb!
You can have alot of big win streaks with this guide, but you have to play smart! You are playing for gold, not for kills should be your mindset! If there is a risky play and you get a decent trade out of it walk away instead of committing and dying!


Im a diamond 2 mid lane main on EUW and I have used this strat on smurf acounts on 300+ games in every elo below Master! I can guarantee you it works pretty good once you are used to everything!

Some of you probably have the question in mind why you would use Zed for this particular strat?
Its pretty simple honestly. Zed is an assassin who can snowball out of control with a gold lead, which is in the nature of most assassin champs. But more importantly Zed is a Range-ish Assassin who can proc First Strike from range without being in danger which makes him the perfect champ for this strat!

Additionally Zed has alot of outplay potential which can make sure to decide teamfights or even the game itself! So basically the perfect option to carry games 1v9!

Note:
League of Legends has evolved into a full team-game over the years! Its not easy at all to carry games on your own these days as it was back in Season 8! Keep this in mind! Every game is winnable, but every game is also loosable! If you are 30/2 with full build on minute 25 and 5k+ gold in your inventory but you loose, get over it and go into the next game!

Honestly I always focus my jungle clear path on bot lane and spam gank bot lane as much as I can and whenever First Strike is up and my jungle camps are on cooldown. Since Bot Lane is a high traffic area because of Drakes and 4 of the 10 players being on bot lane it is the best option to get as much gold as possible in my opinion. You can gank other lanes, dont get me wrong, but bot lane will give you the most out of this strat in 8 out of 10 games. Usually there is some sort of CC on bot lane aswell, so it just makes sense in most cases. Feel free to adapt your playstyle to this strat tho, alot of things can work out if you are just smart and good enough!

Focus on your jungle camps as much as you can! While you are jungle clearing watch the lanes on your minimap and the icons above your minimap of your teammates! You can see there health pools there aswell! Whenever you see someone drop low, click with your mouse on the lane and watch what happens! It can help you snowball pretty fast if you just go to the lanes where an enemy is low and get the kill!

Zed's passive makes him a solid jungler. If you are a good jungler you will be able to secure both scuttle crabs in every game, since Zed's jungle clear is really strong. Go into practice tool and practice jungle camp kiting and clearing in general if you are struggling with that. It will help out alot and make sure you can snowball even harder.

I know there are alot of really good Zed OTPs and I dont know if I could count myself into that category. What I can tell tho, that this strategy has helped me in hundreds of games to carry the game and decide the outcome of the game and has let me design the game how I want it to be. Its a great way of cheesing and winning games especially in lower elos, so feel free to try it out!

I would love an upvote for my guide since it was alot of work to do. Thank you for reading and good luck have fun in your games!
