About Me

I just moved to US for college and currently I'm D3 flex in NA. Gonna start streaming and release Zed tutorial videos next year so I hope I can finish this mini-guide!
NA ign: Lee Kyungi
Top 7 Zed NA/Top 48 World
To check Top Zed players: http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/rankings/summoners/zed

Zed is a simple yet complicated champion, he is overpowered, at the same time, he is not. He is not difficult to pick up, and all you need to do good with Zed is knowing the play style.
Pros
-
High burst damage
High mobility
Strong mid-late game
Fun to play
Cons
-
High skillcap
Can roughly fall behind
Can be countered by abilitÃes or items like zhounya, point-click CC
ABILITY LEVELING:
Just fkin do Q -> E -> W and R in level 6/11/16. There is nothing much to explain about this ****.



Runes:
-
You can go 9x Flat AD Red or 9x Lethality but I feel like the runes I use (in the top of this page) help me farms and poke efficently, that is just my opinion.
9x Flat MR Blue runes suit the best against mage, or you can go x6 CDR, however I don't recommend it because you gonna go max CDR with 3 core items Yomuus, Cleaver and Death Dance.
Mssteries:
I don't recommend anything else but these 2 best options:

Will be update more soon
Farming: against range poke champ -> Q to farm/try not to trade CS for HP.
against melee champ -> farm with both melee + Q/use Q to poke whenever possible
Poke:
Main combo: W -> E -> Q. If you hit both Shuriken -> proc Thunderlord.
All-in:

Main combo: W -> E -> Q. If you hit both Shuriken -> proc Thunderlord.
All-in:
-
[W]->[E]->[Q]->[W](->auto if >50%HP)->[R]->[E+auto] (most common combo)
[Yomuus?]->([R]->[W]->[E+auto]->[Q]) or ([R]->[E+auto]->[Q]
[W]->[W]->[R]->({E+auto]+[Q]?) (catch low target)
[W to another direction]->[R] then ([R back] or [W])->[E+Q]? (to outplay/rarely use)
Core items:

Always go this 2 first! If you have problems with CC, go for
after Yomuus then continue building Cleaver.
Since you don't use CDR runes, 3rd item should be 1 of these 2 to maximize the using of Death Mark and to use your combos efficiently:


Death Dance is a better choice since its sustain is fkin hype, however if you are against fed AP bursty champs, Maw is a must.
2 final items should be Armor Pen items in most of the cases.
: Best 4th item for Zed now
Both of them are great to be final item on Zed if the enemies have at least 1 punchbag. Or else go for Draktharr of Duskblade.
