The Master of Shadows
Role: Assassin | Win rate: 49.3% | Tier: S
Zed is a great pick for the mid lane with outstanding potential and burst damage. He likes to split push and roams around the map looking for single targets.
However, Zed is very difficult to master and has an extremely high skill limit. He’s also very vulnerable to CC and weak once he’s finished using his ultimate. Zed’s power will gradually decrease in the late game against physical defense items and anti-burst damage.
To help you better understand how to counter Zed. I have compiled my experiences fighting Zed below.
Champion Counter Zed
Discover all Top champions who counter Zed.
Mid
If you are a ranged champion, poke and harass Zed before level 5. When Zed has his ultimate, he will become dangerous and can destroy you at any time. At this point, you need to play safe and build defensive items to prevent explosive damage. Request a gank from the jungle and notify the team when Zed moves to another lane.
Top
When soloing with Zed, you should buy armor early to reduce damage from him. Take advantage of the moment Zed used his skills to attack him.
Bot
ADC should stay away from Zed when he has his ultimate, stay with his team, and not wander alone in the jungle. Stay away from bushes and areas with no visibility because Zed can ambush you there.
Support
Supports should use Exhaust or always have the CC skill available to pressure Zed every time he intends to attack your ADC. Control vision to quickly spot Zed when he ganks.
Jungler
Junglers need to gank Zed early to not only support his teammates but also to hold back his power surge. Control vision in the jungle, ambush and kill when Zed ganks in another lane.
