1450 does not equal 1500, 352.5 +1.5 BAD is IF you land both shurikens on the same target AND it hits as the first target - which is incredibly hard to pull off in the laning phase unless the enemy is dumb. Furthermore, the W has such a long cooldown that you aren't able to use it constantly, which makes your range 900, and 235(+1 BAD) for the majority of the time. Another thing you got wrong was that you stated his QW damage at maxed rank, like since when is that laning phase. Yes he snowballs, but there are many other champs that can do the job same or better. His hitbox on his Q isn't that big, but its quite long, but in terms of length many champions outclass him there. Zed gets hit hard by itemization/exhaust/cc more so than other assassins. And energy is a resource that requires management, the only ones that don't use a proper resource are ones like garen and katarina. At lvl 3 - he uses up 75+50+40 = 165 energy with his combo, afterwards, leaving him vulnerable especially because he is a melee range champion. His only safe farming tool and poke is his Q, so he has to constantly use that, meaning his energy bar will pretty much never be full unless he counters or constantly lands skillshots on you to an extent that you can't poke him without dying anymore. His W is his only escape tool, so once again, he must use it carefully.
