But neither does Zed normally build MR :D

My point is, Zed has a much lower damage output when his ult is down compared to Akali. It's not very often that you're going to land both Shurikens on the same target (hell, sometimes even getting 1 to hit is difficult against skilled opponents), and Zed has lower ratios than most AD assassins. Zed is more or a harass-heavy champion who has to whittle down his opponents until he sees an opening, before ulting in for the kill. But, Zed's harass is also dependent on his W, meaning that when it's down, there goes his only way to escape for 20s AND his long ranged harass mechanism. So, one should make use of those periods to lay down some return harass.
