One of Zed's biggest counters, cant really all in or poke him because of his E and R. Try outplaying him with your W since his E is kinda predictable.
Ivern
Every ap jungler who has hard cc is really good with zed. Ad junglers are good to, but ap is better because the enemy midlaner needs to build mixed resist items.

Guide Info
Hey everyone,
I've posted some info about the most important stuff in this build, mostly about why and when those items are good. You can find these in form of Notes. Be sure to read everything marked with (Read Notes)! I'll expand upon these Notes or might even remove them completly when i release the entire Guide.

Hi everyone, the guide is up to date again! Sorry for not updating it earlier, i didnt really play the game for the past few months, but the new build works great, i've been having lots of fun with nimbus cloak. This way even with first strike i can get early kills and be even more mobily in fights. Hope you'll enjoy it!
If u need any help or have questions please contant me on discord. Good luck with your games <3!

About Me

I started playing Zed in Season 9 and now i have more than 2 million mastery points with him.
Im from Hungary and im in university right now.
Im not streaming on any platforms right now but planning to, since some of you over on discord wanted to watch me play.

Contacts / Coaching
Hi everyone,
I wanted to talk about how people can reach me if they needed any help regarding Zed or just league in general. Right now i dont do live coaching or vod reviews since im in uni and i dont have time for it. The free time i have is mainly spent on studying or just playing league.
On the other hand if you have any questions please add me on discord and i will try to help as best i can. It honestly makes my day when i can help someone.
Some of you also added me in the league client, but its not always obvious that someone added me because of this guide or just because we played together, thats why i would suggest adding me on discord if u need anything.
One more thing. If for some reason i dont send you a message when i accept ur friend request, please dont be shy to text me. I probably just forgot to do so because i was in the middle of something.

In-Game Item Build
To see the item build in your game go to the Collections tab in your Client and click on Items. Now up top press the 'Import item sets' icon and click on 'Paste copied set' and copy-paste the text below:
Keep in mind that this is a simplified version of the build that is shown in this guide, it only has those items that i build the most.
{"title":"Zed Build","associatedMaps":[11,12],"associatedChampions":[238],"blocks":[{"items":[{"id":"1055","count":1},{"id":"1120","count":1},{"id":"1054","count":1},{"id":"2003","count":1}],"type":"Start"},{"items":[{"id":"6699","count":1},{"id":"3158","count":1},{"id":"3111","count":1},{"id":"3814","count":1},{"id":"6694","count":1}],"type":"Core"},{"items":[{"id":"6695","count":1},{"id":"6696","count":1},{"id":"3161","count":1},{"id":"6333","count":1},{"id":"3142","count":1}],"type":"......"}]}
After this you should be able to see the item build in-game in the shop on the 'Item Sets' tab.

Thank you!
I wanted to write a quick thank you for everyone who i've got to talk to over on discord, specially to those of you who i've got to coach. Even the short questions i get to answer can make my day. Thanks everyone <3!
