Zed is very strong right now, any noob can get fed with him. AFK pushing and braindead farming are very important now. If you manage to get some kills roaming, any Zed-push-bot will probably leave you at a disadvantage just by standing still near his minions and clicking your turret. Then he will evolve into the kill enemy carry (40s cooldown) bot.

I would gladly say that "developing hard under pressure farming skills with kassadin, playing safe, rushing zhonya's and knowing your mana bar like your hand, your damage output, zed's damage output and how is it affected by seeker's armguard" is the solution.

Sadly, I can't. The best way to play against Zed is... picking Janna.

I will explain myself: Zed's greatest weakness is his lack of inherent power. He has the damage, he has the mobility, but he lacks the CC and his team probably Lacks magic damage to compensate.

So your best bet is to push hard on his weakness with champions that only need to press one or two buttons to ruin zed's life: Janna, Wukong, Fiddlesticks, Rek'Sai, Leona, Sejuani, etc.

Also Jinx, Graves, Sona. At first you would think that zed rapes them... yeah by the time Zed can visit bot lane Jinx already has IE and one to three towers, if zed kills her he will probably Die, and at the end, this suicide pact will only accelerate Jinx's stomping.

So ensure that your team has more of this champions than the enemy team and you will win.

Do not waste your money on FH, stick to the traditional late game ap build.
