User blog comment:Typhron/(14 DEC, 2012) So. What's the next Champion I should play/get?/@comment-96.57.254.250-20121220135154

Personally, I LOVE Zed. He's very mobile (w is a free flash, though they nerfed the range you can switch places with it). He deals insane dmg with the right item build, and because of his ult, you can take out most nontanks at full health. He is a decent top, and with the new jungle, he is viable, but where he really excells is mid. By grabbing his q first, and taking 1 in his e and w at lvl 2 and 3 respectively, I almost always win the lane (hate teemo and kennen).

The only thing to be aware of with Zed is, at early lvls, DO NOT RUN AWAY. If you do, you will probably die. Zed counters most AP mids, and you will win most trades at lvl 2 and up (if you take his e), but you will have extremly low life after. This should be expected.

One other reason I play Zed mid is that he can easily take advantage of wraiths at lvl 3 and up. W into wraiths, E, W again to flash, AA the big wraith, w again, and they're dead, and your w should be ~5sec cd. He is extreamly OP, and I'm waiting for them to increase his cooldowns.
