i was also having trouble with zed. although everyone cries out he is imba he has a rather weird/weak first 6 levels. than i accepted faker senpai into my heart. if you are going to play zed, you need to be as aggresive as hell. whenever you see someone getting into 1000 range of you to use a skillsshot wqe him. if necessary go to ur shadow and start beating him up. "playing passive" is the reason why zed does not have high win rates. although it is true that he can farm under tower, if you play passive you will not put any kill pressure on your opponent even post level 6. also, abuse your passive. if your opponent is below 50% hp make sure that you aa him as fast as possbile so that you can proc it again inside the lane. it can be quite devastating to go below 50% hp against zed for that reason. lastly, use your ignite. dont be shy and use it for trades. i deals dmg anyways.

for runes: arpen marks armor per level / health per level seals 5% cdr and 5% scaling cdr glyphs. i personally prefer arpen quints as well since post level 5 arpen is better in every case and even at level 1 your q only loses 1 dmg for the quints but ad quints are very effective as well, especailly if you are in a matchup where aa will really count (ie ziggs)
