Ninja are not supposed to be loved. Ninja are Hate and Shadow personified.

Human beings always hate what bests them, and hate to death what humiliates them.

Zed is a ninja blink DpS assassin designed to outposition enemies, resulting in heavy pokes which are actually not stingy-pokes but heavy punishing pokes.

Zed is not good is his player keeps him imobile, moves predictably, attempts to burst down, or misuses his Shadow often (which is, unfortunately, Zed's gimmick).

Zed is not good if itemized squishy or slow (that's relevant, some items make you fast and some makes your enemies slow) and Zed is not good if his itemization does not allow him to 1v1 the squishiest/noobiest opponent.

Zed is ONLY good if he's killing the weakest and bullying the other 4 into making mistakes. This is a highly demanding situation, but then, Zed is (like it or not) a high skill-cap assassin, and LoL assassins are already high-risk/high-reward champs anyway.
