The biggest problem with Zed top is against anyone who has almost any sustain. His damage is often mitigated a lot by the tankier bruisers he'll face top and will just Lifesteal or heal it off by the time he can attack again. He can't duel them that well without being outdamaged or not dealing enough. While he can work against some tops like Nid or Jayce who arn't as tanky as a lot of the others, but against most tops he'll fall short. Zed works best jungle and mid.

This is also why Talon should really only mid.
