He used to be a pain prenerf. He could push lanes really fast and roam. Also his escape was very low on cooldown, (because E used to proc with minions). making him very hard to gank and shutdown. Now he is pretty much balanced as any other assasin such as Akali, Ahri, Le Blanc etc. Many melee assasins will be better than he is without any problem.

Fizz: can dodge ulty.

Diana: can harass too (without damage reduction from minions)

Kassadin: well... if you are silienced for 3 freakin seconds, you can't deal enough damage on a marked target.

Katarina: Quite equal.

Considering the new meta is mid assasins.... and oriana. ( -_- ) you can say post nerf zed is quite balanced.

And yeah... when you have some "OP" champions with the same role, you can't say it's unbalanced because your team can choose another "OP" champion with the same role.

BTW Riot are nerfing some assassins now in order to shift the meta from assassins to mages, I guess.
