I wouldn't have minded the razor shuriken nerf, but shadow slash having that cd increase hurts him in alot of places. Hell, if they felt that he guaranteed a kill on a target, they could've weakened the ult instead of hampering his whole kit.

Besides, when you say he guarantees a kill on a target, you also forget that he needs a coordinated setting in the first place and actual work on the target for his damage. Zed is still squishy, and he's still putting himself at a large risk for his reward. Now, there's less reward for that risk...
