Many of the common splitpusher you hear about are not actually because they are the 'faster' tower destroyer. The actual speed of destroying a turret is not the only factor that makes a strong splitpusher.

What makes Zed a good splitpusher is that he's a strong 1v1 duelist, he can poke, has good enough wave clear, and has enough mobility to escape if needed, and runs on energy so he can sustain a push/poke war against most other champions for long periods if needed.

Also, I should say, Zed probably isn't even the best splitpusher, but his strong/safe early game allows him to make the transition very easy, unlike say a Master Yi who may struggle during that phase and therefore not making him strong enough to 1v1 anyone in time.

But honestly Hogs, spiltpushing is not limited to only one factor. I mean, look at Shen. He has slow pushing power but his ultimate just allows him to global presence, therefore, he's good at split pushing.
