"I am still against this balancing around pros as i believe they pick not overpowered champions, but champions who are all around useful to the team and safe in lane as they don't give kills away as in low tier games and they want the champs who can obviously cs easy and safe."

Ironic for you to say, since Zed is an assassin and assassins themselves are by nature risky picks, regardless of how well they can farm.

Professional players will abuse whatever tools they have at their disposal to win. One example from recent memory - remember Rengar? In the tournament builds after his hotfix and before his nerfs (even a good while after them) he was at a 100% pick/ban rate, and it was hardly because he was a safe character - he was just plain overpowered and could wreck face with little effort.
