Claudio's opinion isn't invalid. You realize that currently Akali is a lot weaker than she was prenerf. Lux was pretty ridiculous given the safety her ultimate gave her both in lane where she'd afk farm with it and in teamfights, where she'd be able to ult twice in the fight's duration.

As for Zed, this does hit his ultimate combo quite hard and it takes away many options Zed could typically have with his 3 second Shadow Slash. 40% CDR is pretty impractical until extremely late in the game for Zed so considering that he just lost one entire shadow slash for half the game is already a huge hit to his snowball potential.
