You seem not to get the problem I was adressing here. I only mentioned his waveclear as onother strenght and it's ok he has this one. The real problem I have with him is the poke he offers and this is in my oppinion something an Assassin shouldn't have. At least not on this range. Beside this, Zed isn't really reliant on his ult when he get's some Items so the argument "he can't target anyone and will die" isn't worth much. At least not more than it is for other Assassins. And he has still the opportunity to escape If he was positioning his Shadow well.

Zed doesn't have "some perks" like you said, but a mass of strenghts in his kit. The waveclear and poke we just mentioned, mobility and extending range, CC (even If it's just a slow), the possibility to make himself untargetable, insane scaling into lategame with his W's passive and on top an execute with his passive. Most assassins can do one thing well. Katarina can snowball in fights If she focuses the right targets and deals tons of AoE damage, but she can be stoped with a breeze of CC. Leblanc is the mobile monster number one and bursts one target, but she has to care how she positions her initial W. Talon has a stealth engage and a fast combo that is hard to prevent, but he has no escape tool after his combo. And Zed? Well he has a mix of all these strenghs. Not as hard as the others but he is an allrounder and this combination of strenghts makes him an unfun champ to play against. No matter If on lane or in teamfight.

Hell he doesn't even have to go IN to deal damage in teamfights. He can just W/Q/E to deal AoE damage.
