Let's just forget this little argument and start over. It's not as bad as you say it is for Zed's energy and range for a number of reasons. First of all, Zed's shuriken is fine even on its own. It comes out decently fast, has very little wind up time, and can pass through enemies. Not only that, it has decent CD and can rengerate the energy. With the shadow, it's basically a super version of that for harassing in lane. It covers a huge area and makes enemies think twice for being too close to the minion wave period.

The shadow's job is to cover space and push away the opposing champion in lane. So what if the CD is long? you can wait, and you can still cast razor shuriken for harass and farm. Plus, as Rapacious said, shadow slash to lower CD.

Energy running out? That's alright. All I have to do is not cast spells for about 10 to 20 seconds and I'll be fine. You want to know what isn't fine? Running out of mana. That is a real bummer during the laning phase. You want to know how to avoid either cases? Learn to manage energy. Don't spam that much, because you will obviously run out. Even other energy based champions can't just spam their skills out. Well, except Lee Sin, but he's an exception!

Zed can farm and zone just fine. His skills don't need the buff. Let's face it, if they were buffed, then imagine if you had to face Zed. Razor shuriken that is ludicrously fast, large and long ranged. Shadow the keeps popping up every few seconds to harass and make farming as fun as facing Heimerdinger. Energy maintain so great, that he can spam without concequence.

You'll just have to get used to them when playing Zed. That's all.
