Lvl 5 Q uses 55 energy is lane is quite a bit as many use it with their shadow clone costing usually about 100 energy for a poke combo plus many even use their E causing a 150 combo of energy limiting their poke to at least 10 seconds a combo while having no escapes or poke damage for at least 6 seconds, 18-16 seconds if you want to wait for the shadow combo.

The main point is that for most of the time Q is not a lvl 5 during laning phase but rather about 70-65 energy due to the focus on maxing E due to its lower E cost and energy.

But anyway I am almost satistifed with the current state of Zed as going all in when in teamfights gives be an opportunity to escape as the W can refresh, but what would make me satistifed is that if Riot removed 1-2 from his lvl 1 W, to compensate more the new effect of E
