always a joy to see zwag on his natural role of assassin. truly this role is his calling in life.

Actually that quote is from a Dota Dev

[@XtheMagus]

@@TigreDoRelampago Dota is not a serious game and has not been one for 8 years. Dota is "Numbers go Brrrrrrrrrrt" the generic version.

@@XtheMagus if dota isnt a serious game then league isnt

[@XtheMagus]

@ArianitRama I don't understand why you thought I was saying that the game which started off as a blatant parody and rip off was ever serious. League is just the vastly more successful and well known game. It's definitely not a serious game 🤣🤣🤣

[@TigreDoRelampago]

@@XtheMagus I said that as a joke, you dimwitt

[@Sinzari]

The ult AD ratio change isn't really a big deal, most of his damage comes from the stored damage, not the AD ratio. It used to be 1.0 AD and when it got nerfed it didn't feel that significant.

[@makishae9811]

It changes the rate at which damage is stored doesn’t it? I don’t really play zed but you know it does seem significant

[@akaadmfs6635]

its the damage of the pop, 100% ad means a full damage auto attack from zed. Doesnt change the stored dmg@@makishae9811

[@josephfodera8372]

@@makishae9811 no, it just affects the base pop, so itll do 1 auto atk of dmg instead if like half an auto

[@DJ-ys9pv]

This is old school Zed 😂 he used to do 100% on his ult a while ago if I remember correctly

[@moodsmannbernhard]

your right is just the zed before hydra was must buy on zed. so simple its not a real buff, people just clickbaiting :)

[@axlvanaudenhove6564]

Indeed, they reversed all the nerfs from the past 2 years because Hydra is gone.

[@Kingnarknark]

Can't wait to see a FFS video where they all build Hubris and battle to see who gets the most statues

[@danielbp6586]

the 100% of the damage buff is only on the 1st tic of the ultimate not the dmg dealt while having the mark, it was 60% so if u have 400ad now deals 400 + 55% of damage dealt (at max lvl) , it was 240 + 55% of damage dealt... so 160 dmg extra. I mean its okay not a HUGE buff id say, also it was 100% like 2 years ago so...

[@danielbp6586]

if zed is broken is because of the new items

[@thomasbishop3494]

I'll take Voltaic Cyclosword with it's 99% slow for 0.75 seconds over Duskblade. Whoever came up with that abomination of an item should be sent to the dark side of the moon for all eternity. That also had a 99% slow for 0.75 seconds AND it made you untargetable. That shit was absolute cancer. So glad it's gone.

[@zedus4042]

nope, Duskblade's slow lasted only 0.25 seconds which was barely noticeable.

[@jofeltje]

@zwag you should try full lethality jinx, it is supergood

[@kaihagemann9928]

No but why does everyone misunderstand the ult buff. Its not 100% on the damage that he has done that fuels the death mark proc. The death mark itself always does a bit of damage, and that damage before was 65%, so if you had 100 ad and ulted someone and did no further damage, the ult proc would do 65. damage. Now it would do 100 damage, and the extra damage that gets repeated which effectively does most of the damage didnt get changed. Please inform yourself before you clickbait your audience out of existence. Theres a reason zed is sitting at a 47% winrate and not 53% like akali or fizz.

[@drag838]

You have to build hubris first as it somehow gives 2 ad per Statue if you didnt notice. So you can end up with 50+ Stacks

[@garfaield6618]

But why would you build hubris first In the early game you wont get as many stacks likely because you wont be getting many takedowns no? Unless you are hyper aggressive roaming or winning lane hard it'll be less useful than Cyclosword

[@Milan-xj7we]

I love that it just says new above the items because it implies that they are very powerful

[@mctankles3730]

in patch 12.2 his ult used to be 100% ad scaling on the initial cast before, they then nerfed it and now they are just reverting it.

[@galileo058]

Yeah Zed is op in low elo. Buffs that Zed got this patch is what he used to have in tye past before Hydra was op on him. In higher elo people know how to play aganist Zed and pick counters or just they tank up, play safe making Zed totally useless. But low elo will always says Zed is op bc they don't know how to play aganist it. Also Zed cannot do dmg to any tank and without hydra he is only to able to hug a turret playing aganist some renekton, malphite etc. Zed cannot also stack Black Cleaver and Grudge now for some goddamn reason... So basically any Bruiser or Tank is unkillable for him. It actually feels worse to play him now than last season. I'm talking all that bc I'm Zed main and it's insanse how people are so dumb talking shit about a champ that they never played saying it's op when he still sits at 48% win rate in emerald+. And fun fact win rate goes acutallu lower with higher rank........

[@antoniomorino1546]

Hey Zwag, could you try a Full AP Trundle build to kill people just pressing R? The build I saw was: Malignance Liandry Shadowflame Stormsurge Luden's Mage boots Not in this order, obviously. Trundle is so fun to watch, cant wait to see.

[@fabdvl]

So nobody is gonna comment about how absurd it is AD assassins still get more CDR than mages without having to give up damage?

[@Hexdy]

It's supp Zed time

[@unlucky713]

finally they made zed playable again. been nerved the last 20 times so about time they buff him for once xD

[@amxar]

This gave me PTSD from a game couple of days ago. I got auto filled mid, as a support main. Took heimer against zed. (Never laned against him before) Pre lvl 6 no problem. Lvl 6 I was dying on repeat when he pressed R. It was the first time for me trying out the new patch, haven’t played since. 😂

[@mendronesg]

I wish I had enough fingers to play assassins, then it's the only "role" I simply cannot play in League. And is the most frustrating for me whenever I'm salty in a game, I realise there's an assassin fucking me over... and over... and over 🙄 I'd play a lot more league if it hadn't assassins in it. yeah I know, cry moar, whatever

Those zed buffs really aren't anything crazy, whats actually making him decent is the new lethality items, those are pretty strong. Edit: By the responses I bet not a single one of you complaining ever played in high elo in your lives, actually I don't think you even read the patch notes. You just don't even know whats strong or weak in the game and complain because you dislike getting outplayed or building defensive items.

@@timmrowka3275 nah, 2 lillia skills get completely interrupted by cc, even while mid cast for example, even some adc´s auto atacks will get interrupted by cc, like long animation jhin AA. only rito´s fav champs get to do that. im pretty sure ive seen yasuo and yone also buffer skills trough cc

[@ryantherogue8281]

@@dalvcthulhu no way you actually think riot gives champs they like buffering . Its literally a game mechanic, I've done it on aatrox, jax, gragas, galio etc, its pure delusion to think that only champs riot loves get buffers.

[@DgZed]

Is not a zed mechanic, every spell that have a channel is interrumped by CC for example yasuo and yone Q cast the animation but if you cc the spell get interrumped and dont do damage, but for example skillshots doesnt get interrumped by cc

[@dalvcthulhu]

@@ryantherogue8281 ah yeah, its delussional to think a team that has been caught in the past giving preference to champions over others in terms of nerfs would do something like have favorites and not nerf them ever. remember trindamere? or wait yasuo, from the same ashole dessigner who always made broken shit.if riot had any kind of brain either all champs would be abble to buffer, or none, but they do have fav champs. ult lux is a channel that cannot be interrupted but other channel skills can be. so, there you go, its a decission that someone made in some personal way since there is no logical explanation as to why some get to not be interrupted and others dont

KING KONG (tank WuKong) Please make it happen 🙏🏼

Im guessing that they buffed his ad ratio so he can go up against tanks since now theres no reason a tank isn't building iceborb/steel/jaksho. Hubris being an uncapped sword of the occult is dumb though considering how stupid lethality items got

Day 3 Zwag my man with the new items there's a cool thing you can do with some characters like Nasus and Darius (who have enhanced basic attack after a ability) with the sundered sky deadman's plate titanic and triforce you can use all of the in a single gigantic hit it's hilarious bc not only you have a huge bonk but you're beefy bc they're all bruiser items (you're also fast and can heal) and there's a slot left you can either go armor pen like black cleaver or the cyclosword bc they can shred armor already and it also gives extra dmg on that hit and give lethality you should try it it's very funny

Challenge: Riot Devs NOT make assassins insanely OP for 1 season (impossible). Seriously, do the devs not play their own game? Assassins are not fun, they either do too little damage or just get to 1 shot somebody for free. That is not good game balance

[@brandonsanders2767]

Let’s see a qiyana game

[@YeezusGhoul]

People complaining about Zed should really rethink. He wasn't meant to be what he was during Mythics. He was meant to do this. For the longest time, majority of all champs could outdamage Zed's WEQ hitting everything without minions... Feels great when you hit that then Akali Q basic deals the same amount -_- Edit: 18:10 How about not doing what this Xerath did and not step up against Zed when he's ahead in lane? Like in any other lane?

[@seventyfour8256]

Ah yes. Xerath stepped up so hard he got Zed ulted under tower, eating WE Q R. and still dying. Truly outplayed xD He should ve just waited behind tower leaking CS and XP, getting AFK ban. People supporting Zed should really rethink before commenting. What s annyoing about Zed is not his trading but his capabillity for one shots or extermly high bursts paired with his high tether range and enourmous escapeabillity. Everyone can deal damage. However as Ahri i cannot headdive into the enemy team, one shot their ADC and live. As Darius dealing more damage with more HP i ll get kited into obblivion. As ADC i need to be in auto range + some time to get AAs in. Zed one combos you from one screen away 100-0 and leaves. The AD ratio increase to Zed R was just pointless, since like, all midlane mages, support enchanters or ADCs were already getting one shot with the only option left going for HP, sacrificing damage, purely because this broken champion exists. Also don t you dare compare Zed combo to Akali Q which is melee range lol. I d rather die by an Akali hitting her E instead of some shadowy figure hiding behind his monitor IRL, drooling over his keyboard, accidentally activating his R switch, one shotting me in the process.

[@YeezusGhoul]

@@seventyfour8256 Hmmm, ever played Zed? Because what you're describing now is what never happens in high elo. I do not argue his kit is annoying af to play against. He's a noob-stomper in low elo, in the right hands. Regarding Xerath, his range is fucking huge. He's 100% able to stand under if not just outside of turretrange and still being able to last-hit without dying to a 1-shot. You can't just press R on Zed and get kills when enemy is under turret unless you're ahead. Also, you realise that assasins are meant to go all in then have a way to disengage? Akali has second ult and/or E. Talon has E. Kha'Zix can evolve E/R and run away etc. Xerath is just in a straight up counter-pick. And some counterpicks means just means you can't leave turret. Have you ever played top? Let me stop there. This comes down to experinces in the game, low or high elo. It's not black nor white, right or wrong. It's a double-edged sword with many answers.

Day 1 of asking for full lethality Samira

[@shirez1654]

So many people complaining about it its insane. Zed needed these buffs and even then he sits at low tier. Stop complaining and get better at the game. There is plenty of counterplay against zed. Pro tip, take exhaust. He cant do anything. The 100% r increase is barely anything. Used to be like this before they nerfed him. About time the champ gete some love. The new lethality items is what makes zed extremely viable laner. Still get destroyed by anything with cc + exhaust. He is sitting at a 49% wr on diamond+ he got a 3 wr buff. Come on now.
