User blog comment:ElleRose/What are your thoughts regarding Zed, Master of Shadows?/@comment-216.58.59.39-20121107024646

Another assassin... lets face it, all of the recent assassins, except Diana, (Rengar, Kha'zix, Elise) were utter crap on release. Rengar had a load of bugs, Kha'zix is too snowbally, and Elise has no late game prescence at all, and her early game isn't that good compared to other early game champs (leblanc, renekton, etc)

So I wouldn't be surprised at all if Zed turns out to be horrible as well.

Oh, and on a side note, it appears that Riot put A LOT of effort into Diana, from the login song, model and particles, and just the overall feeling when you play her. She is also the most successful recent assassin. Connection?
