Zed has always been the fear of many weak mid laners in League of Legends, but the truth is that this champion is not difficult to counter if you follow the following steps.
Most low-level players are afraid to confront Zed, because this general has the ability to poke annoying, sometimes with just a light combo you have “faded” nearly 1/3 of the health tree, not yet. With his morphing skills, Zed will easily play against you in many 1 vs 1 situations. The “paper blood” mages in the Mid lane are the favorite prey of the Shadow Assassin, in today’s post. This Game4V will teach you how to “survive” and fight against Zed despite having a more unfavorable choice in champion quality:
Zed has combos that make you evaporate quickly
Don’t focus too much on pressuring Zed:
Everyone knows that Zed is a short-handed champion and he needs to be at least level 3 to have a full set of moves to trade, so right from level 1 and 2 is the time when you can punish Zed when he I try to eat soldiers. But the problem here is that you know this, so does the Zed player, as a result he keeps his distance from you and only uses Q – Sharp Darts to kill minions. If you try to blood him, you have to step on top of minions to trade, but Zed’s Q has 925 range and about 100 physical damage if you’re the first target hit, besides that minions will also target you, so keep in mind that your 1 attack is only equal to 3 minion attacks – pretty clearly you’ll be the loser in that trade.

Once Zed reaches level 3 it becomes more difficult to trade with him, as he now starts to deal significant damage with his WEQ combo. Therefore, only trade if Zed makes the mistake of last hitting minions or poking you with darts then pay damage to him and then retreat to his minion because if his Q goes past the first target despite being hit you only take 60% of initial damage, plus being behind minions means you won’t get hit by enemy minions will give you more health than Zed. You should remember that Zed is a physical assassin champion – a class of generals is usually strong in the middle of the game, so he is the one who loses if he can’t kill the opponent in the laning phase, not you, so don’t step Go up too high to poke blood and eat Zed’s combo.
When Zed is stuck in the lane, it means he loses 50% of his health:
When Zed uses his set of moves to poke health, he’ll definitely want to adjust his shadow so that Q-Sharp Darts will hit you first to make you take full damage from the combo, but this is also the second thing. makes Zed easy to exploit. With the 20-second cooldown of Shadow Clone W at early levels and Zed maxing out his final W ability, he has to wait for cooldown before he can trade again. Take this opportunity, you should use your skills in combination with basic attacks to push minions, because at this time Zed will definitely not push minions as fast or poke effectively anymore because of the lack of access tools to E -Sword of Shadows while the dart’s damage is reduced. Therefore, don’t fall back because of his combo hit, confidently use the move to push the wave of soldiers into the turret and then return or move to support your teammates. Pushing minions before leveling and equipment is often very mana consuming, so use it to the fullest extent.
Zed’s darts only deal maximum damage to the first target
Zed can only go all in (all hands) when you have run out of health after a few WEQ combos and when you run out of mana so when you feel you are at the threshold of threat, go back, losing 1 wave of minions also takes damage. The damage is too great and after the first return, the mage will have more equipment and levels that will make it much easier to push the next minion. At that time, you are free to launch attacks from afar to quickly defeat the soldiers and move along the forest to create mutations on the map. A combo of Zed with scorch deals a maximum of about 1100 damage at level 7, about 200 less than a normal Mage’s health so he certainly won’t be able to shock you to death when full. If he uses moves to push minions, the better for you because as mentioned above, this only makes Zed weaker, the longer he stays in lane, the weaker he will become while you benefit. later increase in strength.
Equip to face Zed:
It is true that the Seeker Armor with the bonus armor will make it difficult for Zed to kill you, but using up to 1000 gold will delay you in completing the Mythic item – the most groundbreaking power of the early stage battle. Even though you won’t get killed by him, you will definitely be much weaker in 2v2 or 3v3 phases, when Zed has completed the Moon Blade and you are stuck with the Lost Secret Chapter, Seeker Armor, and an odd item instead. Luden Storm or Eternal Ice Staff. So how to equip equipment to both counter Zed and not delay the Mythic items for too long? According to the gosu, the best way to defeat Zed is to go straight to the Ice Staff of Eternity or the Crown of Doom, which is 300 gold cheaper than Zed’s mythical equipment that has a value of 127% only and is passive. Active counter very strong Zed.

In the first time you just need to buy Silk Armor, Hong Ngoc and Lam Ngoc is enough to stay in lane without slowing down the build rate. With 15 armor, 150 health and 250 mana, you not only have the resources to push the minions but also withstand about 2 times more Zed’s combos, and have the necessary ingredients for the Mythic item.
Spells against Zed:
Exhaustion: This is the perfect choice to counter assassins in general and Zed in particular because of the filthiness of this summoner spell. The 40% damage reduction for 3 seconds makes it impossible for Zed to assassinate the enemy even if he uses all of the moves correctly. 
Shield: Also a good choice, but the fact that the Shield is a form of shield, Zed can go on Sword of Evil to counter it, should only be used if it feels familiar and suitable to play.
Using Gladiator/Resist in the mid lane:
If selected later, prioritize the Gladiator/Resistance class to confront Zed, because the huge contrast comes from this champion’s skill set. Originally Zed took advantage of taking down laning opponents by poking them and then R – Death Mark to finish, but that only happens when facing Mage – a class with low armor and thin blood. Riven, Renekton easily crush Zed at every stage of the match with their dashing and minion push, while Gragas, Cho’Gath with their healing and resistance make Zed helpless in exchange.” word”. But note that the use of this forbidden card needs to be suitable for the team, avoiding the team’s lack of magic damage in combat.
