There are such characters in League of Legends that when they are seen on the selection screen, they cause uneasiness in the opposing team. If it’s a lane character, it’s generally only a problem for the person opposite it at the first stage. If this character is Zed, this unease is usually the problem of the whole team now. Especially when the jungler Zed, who has entered the new meta, comes into the game, is the moment when the danger for every lane says I’m coming.
Early game – all abilities, strengths and weaknesses, ct’s and tips that you can use in the game of Zed, who is much stronger than listening to late games, but has weaknesses as well as strengths, are the subject of our article today. If you wish, let’s start with his abilities without further ado.
LoL Champion Zed’s CTs:
- Diana
- Vladimir
- Akshan
The 3 characters that can stand against Zed according to their win rate against Zed, as above. We mentioned that Zed is quite flimsy and prone to neutralization after consuming his W. In this situation, we can say that Zed does not have much of a solution against Diana.
Vladimir, on the other hand, can be almost immortal in his lane and is very resistant to under-tower raids, which Zed players love very much. Akshan, on the other hand, is a very dangerous character from a distance, so it is not easy to take down Akshan without using Zed’s mechanics very well.
All the abilities of Zed, the leader of the Shadow Sect:
- Passive – Kick the Fallen: Zed’s basic attacks deal bonus magic damage to low-health enemies. This effect has a cooldown of several seconds on the same enemy champion.
- Q – Sharp Shuriken: Zed throws shurikens that pierce enemy units. These shurikens deal damage to all enemies hit. If there are shadows of Zed, they will also throw shuriken.
- W – Living Shadow: Zed’s shadow dashes forward and stays in the area where it was cast for a few seconds. When the ability is recast, Zed replaces it with his shadow. If Zed and his shadows hit an enemy with the same ability, Zed gains energy.
- E – Shadow Slash: Zed and his shadows return to damage nearby enemies.
- R – Death Mark: Zed becomes untargetable for a few seconds and dashes to an enemy champion, marking them. This move also causes Zed to cast a shadow where he casts the ultimate. Mark on the opponent triggers within 3 seconds and repeats some of Zed’s damage while on the mark.
Zed’s strengths and weaknesses, which can neutralize his opponent without revealing himself:
Strengths:
- Too active,
- He can constantly raid the side corridors and get results,
- You can easily catch your opponents with W, E, Q combos,
- With his W ability, he can stand out from his opponents.
Weaknesses:
- Is vulnerable to raids while W is on cooldown, very high risk of dying,
- Doesn’t deal much damage if other abilities are missed after using R ability,
- Can die very quickly if subject to movement restriction abilities such as stun or root,
- Besides being too strong and fast, it is quite fragile.

Tips for overshadowing opponents in LOL with Zed:
One of the most important things when playing Zed is combos and mechanics. When you can do Zed’s combo, no one without many tanks will be able to stand in your way. The most common combos are usually the R-W-E-Q and W-R-E-Q combos. When doing these combos, the most important issue is where you throw your W ability.
You have to play it safe up to level 3 because Zed isn’t that strong until this level. After level 3, you can now try to score in the early game as you can start making combos. After the 6th level, if you can push the middle lane and get it, it will be beneficial for you to score and go to the side lanes.
In the midgame, killing opponents is a snap for a Zed doing well. At level 11, your probability of misfiring opponents increases considerably. At this point, you need to collect as many points as you can and now focus on finishing the game because Zed is not very effective in the late game. This is because opposing players will now start tanking and are more likely to make you vulnerable with crowd control effects.
