Not only, people still pick mages against mid Assassins, Being Zed or any other assassin mid against a mage doesn't make any difference, they are DESIGNED to counter and snowball to get a good midgame and hopefully end the game before both teams have full builds and come into lategame fights.

The same could be said for toplane, you don't have to wait for the meta to shift, you HAVE to shift the meta, if the enemy goes lissandra top you CAN'T pick Darius and complain that you can't get to her because ranged are OP toplane.

Some people are afraid to pick something that might get you an easier game just because they might be called trolls (?).

I once had to fight a Darius mid as Katarina, which means i was forced to go and try to get fed somewhere else because i couldn't engage on him at all.

It's not only Zed being strong now, it's damage being even stronger than before, the Dragon new buff gives only damage buffs but nothing for bruisers and tanks that can't do anything against full armor pen +botrk\liandry damage dealing champions of any kind.

Some others are also very stubborn and refuse to rush seeker's armguard against AD mids (Once again, you get Zhonyas not only because your enemy is Zed, it should be done against any AD mid) because it hinders their ability to stay in lane due to not rushing mana reg. item, as if potions didn't exist....
