The thing is that not that many assassins can pull off amazing kills without ult. Fizz needs his shark to initiate, Talon needs his ult to pull his combo off safely, Kata needs her ult to make up for her other half of the combo, Leblanc uses her ult to burst with Q, etc.

For Zed, it means he has exceptionally long zoning potential with his set, and incredible melee damage with his shadow slash. However, Zed has to maintain the energy if fighting in melee because of energy starvation.

Zed is strong, but he is a risky investment like any other assassin. However, pull it off and he can deal amazing damage on anybody.
