^ Zed's W isn't simply a proxy for his Q or E hits. What it does is zone enemies away from the area as well. Simply throwing a shadow in front of the enemy forces him to think about how he's going to react to the situation. If he walks towards you to try and return harass, EQ is going to slow him aand deal damage in return, allowing you to back off. If he walks away, throw a Q in his direction and back off as you're doing it. Either wy, you'll be pressurizing the opponent.

Also, you don't need to have your W up just to harass. Don't forget that Zed's Q has 900 range AND passes through units. When your W is down, you can use it to last hit, or even stop the enemy from last hitting by timing a Q to fly towards your own minion as he's trying to last hit it. Being on a 6s CD, most of your energy will be back when it's up again, allowing you to spam the living hell out of your opponent. Sure, it's not the fastest projectile, but it still places pressure on the opponent to dodge them, plus it makes for a great last hit tool when you cannot afford to walk up to a minion (e.g a 2v1 lane).

900 range on a skill means that even if you miss, unless the opponent has a really long ranged gap-closer, you'll be able to walk away from him.
