Because unless your Caitlyn and Tryndamere would dive with you in every clash or even alive in every clash, you'd rely on lifesteal or regen like most champion does, which brings us to point that his sustain is not strong unless in proper situations. Lifesteal is not appropriate on him since he rely on Q instead of AA. And 4 seconds of heal won't make you immortal, it would just make you hard to kill, and you'd still die even within those 4 secs. Zac is better than Hecarim in a sense his ganks really comes out of nowhere. Hecarim can't go over wards with his ganks as well as Rammus and for Nocturne, the darkness in the screen should be a clue. And Zac's main damage scales with max health which means his damage output should be consistent even when building full tank as well as having a strong sustain and his passive is really hard to focus especially in clashes. While Hecarim deals good damage as well as great initiation, he is still outclassed by other tank/disruptors that has consistent sustain/shield.

The limitations of every melee AP is mobility so most of them are very mobile (Fizz, Diana, Akali, Kassadin) and have gap closers that either reset or on low CD. Yes you could turn around every game because even if they shut you down, there's still other 4 players in your team. And I'm not bashing normal games players but most of the time, they tend to let the game continue to the point that most of you are item locked which gives you plenty of oppurtunity to turn around the game. The difference between Kass and Fizz is that Kass is very mobile champ, and has an absurdly strong late game potential for a melee AP unlike other's that fall of mid to late. Comparing him to Fizz, Fizz mobility is limited and if he fails to burst you the first time, chances are he would died before trying again. Kass is very strong champ and is way higher in tier against a Fizz so comparing them is moot. What are you trying to prove anyway? Aren't you deviating from the topic?

And Yes, most people would say a champ is OP if they are killed before they even react. Like pre-nerf Rengar. Zed is highly mobile yes, but his mobility is still limited. He is like any other champ that has a jump skill but CC's as well as positioning would still kill them. He's still not that OP since his W has a CD of 14 secs while Kass has 5 secs on his R.
