Well think about it. There's a reason all these pros are rushing BotRK on Zed. Because it's apparently more effective than the alternative. I never did the math myself, but I think with the R change BotRK is a must have now for the slow. And I also think pure AD got significantly less effective when the E cooldown nerf happened. I prefer BotRK on Zed myself, because the slow is more effective for roams and because I think it caters much more to what Zed does. Going for pure AD first means you want to stay in a teamfight and hit as many people with the AoE as possible to get maximumu damage. BotRK just allows you to ult in, pop it, use a couple of skills and remove a target from the fight. Zed usually wants to do that, rather than stay in the teamfight to maximize his AoE, which is what you're trying to do with a BT or Hydra build.
