Zed - The Master of Shadows​

Hello, Summoners!

Let’s talk about Zed, one of the most iconic assassins in League of Legends. If you love outplaying your enemies with quick reflexes and calculated bursts of damage, Zed might be the perfect champion for you.

---

Overview​

• Role: Assassin
• Lane: Mid Lane
• Difficulty: High (Mechanically demanding but rewarding)
• Lore: Zed is a shadowy leader of the Order of Shadows. Once a loyal student of the Kinkou Order, he embraced forbidden shadow magic to protect his people, but his methods turned him into a feared and ruthless assassin.

---

Abilities Breakdown​

1. Passive - Contempt for the Weak:
   • Zed’s basic attacks deal bonus magic damage to enemies below 50% health.
   • This makes him incredibly efficient at finishing off low-health enemies.
2. Q - Razor Shuriken:
   • Zed and his shadows throw spinning shurikens, dealing physical damage to all enemies hit.
   • Use this for both poking in lane and bursting down enemies.
3. W - Living Shadow:
   • Zed casts a shadow in a direction. The shadow mimics Zed’s Q and E, and you can swap places with the shadow for added mobility.
   • Mastering shadow placement is key to Zed’s success.
4. E - Shadow Slash:
   • Zed slashes nearby enemies, dealing AOE damage and slowing them. Shadows mimic this ability, making it effective in team fights.
5. R - Death Mark:
   • Zed dashes to a target, marking them for death. After 3 seconds, Zed deals a percentage of all the damage he inflicted during the mark, plus bonus damage.
   • This is Zed’s signature ability for assassinating high-priority targets.

---

Strengths​

• Excellent 1v1 potential.
• High mobility and escape options with Living Shadow.
• Great at split-pushing and roaming to other lanes.
• Amazing burst damage for deleting squishy champions.

Weaknesses​

• Very squishy; positioning is crucial.
• Struggles against tanks and champions with hard crowd control.
• Requires precision and quick decision-making.

---

Pro Tips for Zed​

1. Combo Mastery: Practice combos like W-E-Q or W-Q-E-R for maximum efficiency in fights.
2. Death Mark Usage: Time your ult to coincide with your damage combo for devastating bursts.
3. Shadows as Escape Tools: Always keep a shadow behind you when diving into enemies.
