Playing vs Zed
1 min read
Winning Matchup
Zed is countered by poke because he has no built in sustain. If you can poke Zed while he moves up to farm minions, you can negate his ability to dive you and all-in.
Zed is countered by sustain. Zed wants to burst your down in one or two trades. If you're able to sustain in lane, it reduces most of Zed's kill pressure.
Counter Zed by building a Stopwatch. You can use the active ability to negate the damage from his
Death Mark
R
. Zhonya's Hourglass is worthy of rushing if you are an AP champion.
Losing Matchup
Zed appears behind you after he finishes channeling his Death Mark. Counter Zed by using your dash abilities after he reappears. Do not panic flash. He will travel with you if you dash too early.
Zed excels in fog of war. He wants to pick off squishy targets in the blind spots in the jungle. Zed is countered if he is forced into front to back teamfights.
Zed is extremely mobile when roaming and can quickly close distance with
Living Shadow
W
and
Death Mark
R
. Make sure to either follow or aggressively push the wave if Zed goes missing.
