Introduction, Google Document.
Hello Everyone,
I'm Zero Macro.
I peaked Challenger soloq in EUW server and I play LoL since the end of Season 3.
Reason for it being good:
Shred Zedjungle is a very mobile assassin that is comfortable at dealing damage at any target.
Google Document for my Zed Jungle Guide: (Still slightly in progress with matchups)
I hope that this Guide will improve your Zed Jungle !
Most important Fact(s)
Fact 1:
Zed Jungle is based on his Passive executing jungler monsters below 50% HP. Thereby it is good to use damage abilities and energy while monster maintain on a higher health threshold than 50%.
Fact 2:
Zed will always place him behind his target(the moment when you clicked on ur enemy).Zed Made from allows him to teleport back after 0.5 Seconds
Due to this fact, Zed can be crowd controlled instantly by many champs, which can result into immediately death. ---> To counter this Zed should preplace to switch placement in an instantly.
