although I do keep shadow slash to slow targets on ult contact. Makes aiming shurikens easier. Farmings is harder with Zed now, but only because of shurikens. Shadow slash nerf didn't change it at all. I don't get what the big deal is when shadow slash is either his farm tool or escape. They are rarely both at the same time.

I have been considering the prospect of tanky ad Zed. Keep Zed on the front lines and use shadow for aoe and pseudo mobility. Keep some tanky/aura items like runic bulwark and/or zeke's herald on him to keep on front line. When he wants to jump in, he's got ulti to have targets.... well, target him. He lacks hard CC, but some armor pen should keep his damage up. Frankly, I'm sad that I lose an E on every ult unless 25% cdr, but I'll make due with what i can get.
