Why everyone says Kayle is the best counter to Zed? The only thing she can do is use her ultimate to save someone from Zed's ultimate during teamfights. A well-played Zed can still trade with Kayle, I am not even that good with Zed and I could beat a Kayle these days, by baiting her ultimate and trying to not miss my abilities, although Kayle still outpushed me.

On my opinion the actual best counter to Zed is Fiddlesticks. The core item for Fiddlesticks, Zhonya's Hourglass, counters Zed's ultimate. Fiddlesticks can silence or fear Zed if he tries to use Death Mark on someone (including himself). Fiddlesticks can harass Zed with Dark Wind. Fiddlesticks still want to dodge Zed's shurikens, but even if he is hit by one, he can just heal himself with Drain. Finally, Zed has no hard CC to interrupt Fiddlesticks' Drain or Crowstorm.

Everytime the enemy picks Zed, I pick Fiddlesticks and I just utterly rape Zed, zone him, force him to play safe under tower, and make Zed cry. The only two things you should watch out for, as Fiddlesticks, are your mana and enemy ganks, these are the only two things that Zed can exploit to get a kill on him. Because Fiddlesticks is rarely played at mid lane, people don't expect me to pick him against Zed, so they don't know how to deal with the scarecrow.
