The #1 Korean Zed doesn't act like an Assassin.

[@Messatsu01]

It really is more viable to play zed like a caster control mage when most games players are going to death ball and there is more hard cc in the game than ever before.

[@soulreaper706]

Dude, in terms of cc, its simply not true. Old Taric had point and click cc. Most point and click cc was removed and tunred into a skillshot.

[@Amaling]

​@@soulreaper706 current high elo meta is extremely in the direction of cc stacking

[@SorakaOTP462]

If that was true, anyone should be able to stop master yi or akali in lower elo brackets.

[@sanjayr]

@@soulreaper706 You might be right about there being less point and click cc but its redundant in high elo play when skillshots aren't hard to hit because good players know when to maximise their chances of it landing. CC is king in league and there's currently a massive glut of it in most standard compositions you'll see. Even in low elo, a team with less than 2 members with hard cc is a losign team. CC is king.

I find Zed to be very versatile , it's still viable to go for full lethality oneshoot build, can be played as a control "mage" vs beefier comps with W max and Conq you can do crazy stuff alternatively I tend to opt for split push only especially in lower Elo with Demolish + Hullbreaker ,can't tell you how many games I've carried alone just by splitpushing. I don't know of any other assassin in the game that can go for oneshoots, teamfight against beefy enemies and splitpush as effectivly as Zed can.

I dont

[@speedyzeth555]

I still remember discovering your channel through the yu-gi-oh card story, glad to see you're still making banger videos

[@monke4044]

Honestly, this is a smart play. The main objective is to get turrets, and you don't have to kill the enemy to push. Even just getting the enemy low enough for them to recall and lose a wave and for you to push is amazing, so why risk dying when you can deal damage without getting hits? Even if you don't execute anyone, it's already a really good trade. And when you use this in a team fight, you always have your team mates who can clean up for you. And if they do fail, the enemy would most likely have low HP, while you have a full HP. More than enough to go in for a clean up.

1:20 to 1:55 sounds really groundbreaking but that's what everyone does, really. Every time you miss a spell your soul hurts because you wasted on opportunity which the enemy now has. Nothing new. It's the same with mana champions. the only different thing here is that losing your resource bar is not an issue. Else everything is the same. EDIT: 2:29 confirms this. He has that knowledge that was talked about previously, so what does he do with that? The same thing as all the other Zed players.

[@mirrorimage2866]

ehm.... he is not the only challenger in kr. onzed also hits kr chall pretty much every season. hydra is not bought only for sustain, but also for the increase in damage with the overlaps. it is kinda what enables the magestyle gameplay. however, before the hydra rework, people were also already challenger with zed, back then also with clever and armor pen build to be able to kill tanks (this was before the durability update). besides that, most of the stuff in the video is right. see yaaaaa

[@ragegaze3482]

the sustain from the item was also removed so it's purely for damage now. Maybe when he made the video it could be used to stay in lane longer, but lifesteal doesn't help zed at all, it's arguably not even a sustain item for him anymore.

It's interesting because his build is very similar, if not the same, to ARAM builds afaik (I primarily play ARAM now). You're always brawling with the other team, dealing AOE dmg through Ravenous Hydra and shadows. With how much dmg you can possibly do with it and smart placement of your shadows, you can wreck enemy teams as you see with this pro player. With Zed, deception and misdirection are his best friends. There are many reasons why so many people despise - and ban - him and one is being how omnidirectional he is. He is as deadly as you make him.
