While he now needs to spend a skill to deal more damage like he used to, there are some unique tricks to pull off.

For example, someone is low and backing. They are under turret so they think they are safe. Use living shadow into death mark, deal the killing blows, then escape immediately with ult. This might allow for Zed to engage a target from a larger distance while also being able to immediately port back. Before, you had to give up your only escape (outside of flash) to jump 1175 range whereas now he can deal the killing blow, and escape back onto the previous 625 range that you started the ult from. Sure, it's less damage but it's something different...

This is just requiring way more work than what it's actually worth, but it does open up new tricks for him...
