A good Zed will be a complete pain in lane with the constant Shadow>Slash>Shuriken combo that lets him harass from range. Since he's energy based, the harass will only get worse as he levels.

However, I feel that his teamfight potential is kinda limited. 1v1, he'll pretty much burst down most targets fine (as long as he does not get stunned/opponent stealths), but in a 5v5 battle, his lack of survivability makes him a subpar choice. He has no stealth/silence like Talon, meaning that enemies can easily retaliate, and he has energy issues as well.

Building off-tank may be an option - I've seen some Zeds try it out. But since he's energy based, he'll not be able to stick and deal damage for long before becoming a large melee minion. Still, it's an interesting build that I want to try.

He's a hell lot of fun in lane still :D Harassing has never been better with dat range. It's like having an Orianna ball that shoots shurikens and does AoE damage/slow. Plus it's energy.
