Zed struggles a lot vs annie. You have to stay away while she has stun. If you get stunned you are 90% dead. Try to farm safely and roam so you dont stay behind.
Akali
Akali used to be a zed counter but after so many nerfs zed can easily beat akali, poke and poke pretty much before level 6. Try not to trade much with her cause she can easily win. After lvl 6, if you are low dont stay near her if you half or lower hp,she can easily finissh you
Ahri
Dodge charm and win
Cassiopeia
you are losing early but after 6 you can easily kill her. Dodge ult =win
Ekko
PFF. Ekko is a hard counter to zed. He can outtrade you, he is stronger and his ult is game changing. Try to harass him in lane and make him use his ult and when its on cd fight him
Fizz
well a good fizz can easily defeat zed, bait his E and you may win
Irelia
BAN THIS CHAMP. Irelia is a very tough counter to zed. CC lifesteal and armor. You cant do many things, farm safely and roam so you dont stay much behind
Katarina
She may win early but at lvl 6 you easily kill her, use R while she uses her so you avoid most of the damage. Also try to poke her while in early lane
LeBlanc
Leblanc is destroying zed early, at the first 2-3 levels she will just poke you and force you to leave lane early, try to farm under turret and kill her after 6, but be aware leblanc has the same 1 shot potential as you
Malzahar
zed counter. Spell shield, wave control and CC, malzahar is very tough for zed
Lucian
easy kill, try not to trade pre 3 cause you will always lose and then kill him. Once you hit lvl 3/6 lucian is pretty much useless against you
Lux
dodge stun and farm safe first 3 levels
Orianna
dodge q=win
Pantheon
Huge lane counter, poke and poke while in lane
Sylas
This is could be even but thanks to sylas W insane lifesteal he can easily turn battles to his favor, try to poke him as well and DONT GET HIT FROM HIS 2ND E
Talon
skill matchup
Veigar
get level 3, dodge his E = WIn
Vladimir
well you win early but be careful vlads empowred Q, try to harass him and out farm him so Vlad will not one shot you in late game.
Yasuo
yasuo is a counter cause of his W but I think a Zed can win yasuo. Bait his W take off his passive and all in him
Yone
A good yone is a skill matchup, but in low elo is more likely zed to win, just slow poke and poke and at 6 finish him
This guide is made for players in low elo who want to learn and play Zed but dont get the rest of the guides and want a simpler one.
Why pick Zed
Zed is a solid pick for every elo. HE has huge outplay potential thanks to his R, also very fun to learn and master. After that zed can 1vs9 carry if fed and mastered so yeah pick zed if you want to have fun :D
Pros
PROS
Fun to play-learn
High damage
Huge outplay potential
No worries for mana
can carry if fed
CONS
CONS
Difficult to learn-master
Very weak vs CC
falls behind later on game
getting countered by a single item(stopwatch)
Early game
Your early game is depending on the enemy pick, if you are facing range champ try to farm with your Q at the first levels if you cant walk up to last hit, staying healthy is more important than few CS. If you are against a melee you are all good. You level 2 is divided to 1)if you are farming under turret, if thats the occasion level E,if you are pushing the wave under enemy turret level W. Try to poke your opponent so he leaves lane early. Try to crash the wave in the enemy turret so you deny him farm.After 6 your kill potential is huge, try to find oppurtinities to kill enemies, You need early kills so you can one shot everyone later on
Mid game
Mid game is Zeds power spike.If you have decent farm, crash the wave under the enemy turret and roam to other lanes. Bot should be priority cause they will always be 1-2 levels less than you so they are easy prey. Helping other lanes is important for you to win. Also try to find squishy targets that are alone,they are easy kill if you play correctly.
Late game
In late zed falls. Try to assassinate the adc or other squishy carries in the teammfights cause you wont be able to oneshot many other targets.
Conclusion
I made this guide for lower elo players that want to pick up zed and may not understand the other guides. I tried to be as more simple as I could so you understand me. Also I hope this helped you in any way :)
