Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Qiyana

Extreme

This champion can play you easily. In order to catch up with Qiyana, be sure to avoid her bushes and river elements. With terrain, she can tear you apart. And don't just ult in because her ult can push you to a nearby river, terrain, bush.

Akali

Extreme

Akali has big advantage against you in early. Most Akali users will use their Q against melee enemies who will cs (Its hitbox is bigger when used diagonally). Be careful of her ult and W, it's going to be hard to catch up with her.

Irelia

Extreme

Irelia users will play you once they see a low health cs. Be careful of getting too close. Sacrifice your gold and just get exp if possible. Try to gank other lanes too.

Fizz

Extreme

Fizz can dodge your ult with his E. You can dodge his ult but good luck if he has E. Try to burn his E as much as possible in order to get back at him.

LeBlanc

Major

Because of her advantage in level 1, it's gonna be harder for Zed to cs. But it's going to be different once you hit level 3. In order to counter her in early, take bone plating or buy doran's shield for sustain. Be sure not to throw all your skills at her. Her W (and mimic ult) can dodge everything.

Kayn

Major

Be careful of giving him red kayn orb in early. His red kayn will surely easily kill you. And keep an eye out from his E, you can see a signal on a terrain.

Zoe

Major

Her E is annoying. So, playsafe until level 3. She will keep poking you. Using Prowler's Claw against her will surely take her down.

Sylas

Major

Go Electrocute if you're scared of trading with this guy and just want to poke him. Buy Executioner's Calling to counter his heal. And go Eclipse. If he takes your ult, be sure to ult first and if he ults you after that, aim for your back. That's where Zed lands once he marks them with his ult.

Talon

Major

You don't win against Talon until Level 3. Be careful of his W and then his Q. He can make you recall and heal because of his passive that makes you bleed.

Vladimir

Major

Don't get too cocky with Mr. Vampire. because his damage hurts a lot when he scales. If he uses W, you're free to ult him. Buy Executioner's Calling to counter his heal.

Pantheon

Major

Don't attempt to trade with Pantheon. You can bait him into using his E if you ult and then get behind him where he casts his E to counter that. That's where you can easily kill him. Prowler's Claw would be good against him too.

Akshan

Even

Cancel his E by going into him when he glides since it's his main damage. Be careful of his ult. Save your shadow, if possible, to hide behind turret or teammates.

Anivia

Even

Not much of a threat. But her wall and Q will help their jungler take you down. Try not to be too close to her tower and get vision.

Ekko

Even

Buy Chempunk Chainsword to counter his ult heal. And keep an eye out for Ekko's action. You can tell he set up his W on a specified location if you see him going towards you as if it's nothing.

Cassiopeia

Even

Make sure not to tower dive her because her W can prevent you from switching places with your shadow. Dodge her ult by looking away.

Heimerdinger

Even

Just dodge his E and slow him down with your E or Serylda's Grudge then you're good. Though, his turrets hurt more. Be sure to take those down.

Yasuo

Even

You should be fine if you playsafe until level 3. Keep poking him until he forces himself to use W that's where you can jump in and kill him. Buy prowler's claw to catch up with him and burst him down and buy Serpent's Fang to counter his shield. However, don't get too cocky in late game. He hurts more and more.

Yone

Even

Same goes for Yasuo. Just dodge his Q and you're fine. But if it's a fed yone, don't get too cocky.

Lux

Even

Most Lux users will just playsafe and bait you into ulting them so they can get you to turret and Q you.

Corki

Even

Gragas

Even

Don't get too cocky with Gragas. If he goes full ap, you're done for. He can burst you down. Either way, play it cool. And you'll able to outscale him.

Diana

Even

Just dodge her ult and you'll be good to go.

Vex

Even

Viktor

Even

Ahri

Minor

Ahri shouldn't be a problem. However, don't get too cocky. Tower diving her is a bad idea. Her charm will sure kill you if you do.

Orianna

Minor

Neeko

Minor

Annie

Minor

Azir

Katarina

She can dodge your Q with her E but she shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure she has no dagger she can grab as it resets her E.

Kassadin

Aurelion Sol

Tiny

Yuumi

Ideal

With her healing and movement speed buff, you can play enemies.

Fiddlesticks

Ideal

If you see Fiddlesticks waiting near your lane, be sure to make your enemy get close as much as possible because his fear will make you burst them down easily.

Leona

Ideal

Thanks to her E, Q and Ult lockdown, you can 100% kill your enemy without them trying to use anything in order to counter your insane damage.

Nautilus

Ideal

Just like Jarvan but better. His passive can root enemies down. And with his Q and R, you and Nautilus can combo your targeted enemy.

Zilean

Ideal

His movement speed buff is enough to help you catch up with low health enemies. You can survive from other attacks with his ult.

Jarvan IV

Strong

Good. His E gives you attack speed and with his airborne, you can lock your enemies with your skills and burst them down.

Thresh

Strong

Thresh can help you travel faster with his lantern. Keep an eye on his hook. Make sure that he aims for support enchanters or ADC (such as vayne, draven).

Galio

Not much needed. If enemy dodges his E, it's time to go back and continue cs'ing.

Intro

Hi there. If you see a guide that has the same title and background as mine, that's me. I just forgot to verify my email so I had to start all over again.

Anyways. I'm an experienced Zed user from PH.

I will be updating this guide of mine whenever I have time. It's a pleasure to meet you all and I hope you enjoy reading my guide.
