You are right. He is not mobile enough or bursty enough to actually be an assassin. Probably has to use an typical tanky build.

The way I see it, Zed's ratio are ok, but suffers from poor passive, and arbitrary rules like "a second E does no damage, and a third Q does no damage"(WTF Riot can't balance a champion just with cooldown and Energy allocation?)

I'd just change him like this. Multiple hits do extra damage. Any subsequent skill damage deal 50% less damage and slow 50% less(cumulative).

Contempt for the weak

Whenever Zed attacks(skill included) an enemy below 40% health, he deals an additional 8% of their maximum health as magic damage. No cooldown on this.
