I still think this guy is borderline OP, I mean, the 0-4 Zed in this game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIHEwBUQUBQ&noredirect=1) can still assassinate an Eve with 7 kills and a 10k team gold lead (at 46 mins) in a few seconds with very little AD coming from his items. If the answer to assassins is not to feed or let them get ahead, that was undoubtedly achieved, and he wasn't even committed, itemisation wise, to assassinating, but look how much friggin damage he does. Zed's great laning (manaless ranged farming and an escape move) also means that it's basically impossible to shut him down 100%, so it would be poor champion design by Riot if shutting him down completely was his only good counter, as that's barely possible. Like Kha'Zix back when he could just farm a lane with his Void Spikes whether winning or losing, Zed seems overtuned - he almost can't do poor in lane (here was 3 man ganked twice while level 2 and still ended up doing farming well enough), almost can't lose 1v1s and is good at every stage of the game, win or lose lane. Does anyone else think that's problematic, or is it needed to keep him in the game considering he's a squishy melee?
