I think he's a strong mid-game champ O.o even after what everyone has said :x

His early game is decent, but held back by the low damage amplification on his ult and lack of burst apart from it.

His mid game is strong, as this is when squishies are vulnerable and tanks aren't that tanky just yet. Plus, 35% damage amp is much stronger and would allow you to net burst kills. Also, this is when Zed is at his strongest, with preferably a Brutalizer and 1-2 Dorans/BF sword (if rushed). With proper ArPen runes, Zed will be able to tear through most champions if he's not stunned during his ult.

His late game depends on whether he's fed enough or not. i feel that Zed's poke falls off late game due to the low scalings, and he's not the best of champions in an organised teamfight due to how counterable he is (a simple stun or slow screws him over during ult). If he's fed though, Zed will pretty much destroy any squishy and even hurt tanks quite a bit with the huge 50% damage amp.
