im not saying that Zed would become UP. What I was trying to get at was that nerfing shadow slash hurts him alot throughout the game, regardless of who plays him. It hurts Zed's jungle speed and safety (he's already frail in the jungle and speed is one of the defining factors of Zed jungle), it hurts his whole ult combo and it requires more gold to be put into CDR to get him back to his current efficiency. I even suggested lowering the percent base damage on his ult so he wouldn't kill bruisers so easily.

You say that he is OP, but he also has no hard CC at all. Sure Katarina doesn't have CC, but she can clean up whole teams if backed up carefully. Zed puts in all this effort to kill one, maybe two targets and he doesn't even have a defense buff like how Katarina has when she shunpos.
