To understand the bars, you must first understand that the bars mean fuck all. They are a basic, quite innacurate display of where a champ's strength lies.

Basically:

- has auto attack steroids, modifiers, reasons to build ad/as/crit = high attack bar

- relies heavily on ability casts to deal damage, has good-high utility = high ability bar.

- has extra defensive steroids and so on = high survivability bar.

since zed has no auto attack steroids, or defensive steroids, he has a very high abilities bar, and because he has to build AD for his abilities to scale, he has a moderately high attack bar.

the reason why talon, garen and renekton don't have superhuge ability bars, is because riot was unsure about how they would be played at the time (garen was supposed to be a meele carry when he came out), and because they all have auto attack enhancers (garen Q, renekton W, + his passive requires him to auto attack alot, talon passive and Q)
