Summary

You may think why would you have an AD mid? Well for one, Zed is an amazing farmer, can get away from almost everything (including ganks), he has a slow, and can easily pick up his kills. These few things give him a major advantage in mid over alot of AP mids and any jungler.

Laning Faze

Early game as Zed you want to get your Q first and harass your opposing mid until they recall. It's insanely easy to do this as Zed with, you simply use your W to put a shadow infront of you and then attempt to hit your enemy with both shurikens. This strategy should help you get an early kill over careless mids.

Mid Game

After you have taken your lane get some ganks in on whichever lane needs help the most. Remember that if you gank bot make sure the ADC gets the kill so they will do well later on, not being greedy is one of the hard parts of playing Zed. If you gank top take all the kills you want, the bruiser shouldn't need to many of them anyways.

Late Game

In the late game make sure you backdoor. If you're fed enough you should easily be able to go to top or bot take the lane in afew hits and run away with your W. When your team needs help at the base make sure you stop your backdooring and go right away. With your ult, W, and E you can take a huge amount of health from most of their players + get a slow on them all even, if they focus you. Zed is also an amazing pusher when your getting destroyed, go up to a wave a minions use your W, Q, then your E and they should all be dead.
