Tips Against Zed in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

BriarFeetLicker says “The Nasus vs Zed matchup is hilariously easy — essentially a free lane. Zed relies heavily on mobility, skill combos, and burst, but Nasus’s Wither completely cripples his ability to engage or trade. Early levels are extremely safe: Nasus can farm Q stacks freely behind minions without fear of poke or all-ins. Once Zed hits level 6, his R (Death Mark) is ineffective against proper spacing and defensive Wither usage. Nasus’s sustain and tankiness make it almost impossible for Zed to punish him in lane. Even coordinated ganks are manageable if Nasus plays behind minions and avoids overextending.”
L0ganJG says “Zed matchup usually isn't too bad. Early lane, you can go aggro with Q start (implying he walks up) or just take the free level 3 by E'ing minions. Look to combo him with W1>Q>auto then let the fight go on or if he creates too much distance just E. Reset this situation as much as possible. It's very good if he ults you to just buffer your E directly into a wall for a confirmed stun since he always spawns on the opposite side that he ulted from. Any build works, be careful of him baiting you with W cooldown if he gets snowballing. W>Q in teamfights after his ultimate on a different target is VERY good. ”

danimedie says “Zhonya’s Hourglass is mandatory. Time your R to negate his Death Mark damage. Punish him when his Shadow (W) is on cooldown.”

Zamus says “It's not the worst matchup, but not the best either. Try using pool to dodge his combo before 6. After 6 you can w before he gets out of his ult so you can cancel his r mark.”

Yoyos says “Not a tough lane, don't be scared of Zed. His W is his only trading tool so if that is on Cooldown, you can play for free for 18 seconds each time. Take that time to play the wave and take resets when needed. Homeguards are OP, don't forget to use them!”

Marlonrank1 says “if he kills u once or twice he will snowball and its really hard to do something. lvl 3 he can take 60% of ur life with WEQ, try to dodge his Q when he uses R he will spawn behind u so u can land charm. lvl 6 its best to trade ur ultis”

madako says “Can dodge your R, inflict a lot of damage in short time. It's easy match up only if you are not new with katarina. How to play? Play agressive Before lvl 6 -> fight, go in, try to kill him how many times you can, after lvl 6, be carefull, fight with him”

Rainbow hater says “Runes: Aery (heal or barrier if uncomfortable) Build: Standard (zhonya second amazing) Reasoning; 1. Zoe can bully zed hard early game with short range q. 2. Post 6 zoe can e behind her self and dodge zed q with her r to escape or even kill him Lane: play aggresive in this lane, zed cannot kill you if always hold your e. Punsih zed heavily if he misses his w, try to side step the second shuriken from his w or stand inside minion wave to lower its dmg. Post 6 never use ur e if he has r. Always e behind yourself if he ults you. After he gets spellshield it becomes very hard to kill him ”

kekseres says “It's actually not bad matchup as people portray. You can win a lot of trades if you dodge his Qs and proc Electrocute. Can't ever all in -> play for short trades with Electrocute. Very snowballable matchup for both sides. Make sure you don't start the combo with Q when he has ult up otherwise your Dagger will disappear.”
EndexGod says “Beware of his W and predict where he will use it, try to dodge his W Q / W Q E poke.”

L0ganJG says “This champ will kite you around by hopping to shadows. Generally speaking you want to buffer E into his R for a stun if you get the timing correct. In a world that he isn't ulting you, try to E the Shuriken combo he sets up as this is most of his damage. Fast combos are very good in this matchup”
bob von schlucki says “he also has a good clear so he might outfarm and outganks u and just one shots u. if he falls behind its over tho so it depends on whos bot lane plays safer xd ”

Amothertruckingunicorn says “Ton of blinks but you can make it very hard for him to jump on you+you can always throw your e behind you on his ult if he tries to do it on a bad timer. ”

heybeyoo says “You win 1v1 And on lvl 6 you need to find a good angle and jump with empowered E so he won't be able to use his Ult. If you do this really quick he wont even be able to swap to shadow.”

MiniBlue says “He's still an impressive jungle pick, his quicker mobility can make you dizzy, play with patience and around structures to catch him.”
MiniBlue says “Sigue dando de que hablar esta selección de jungla, su movilidad rápida puede marearte, juega con paciencia y alrededor de estructuras para atraparlo.”
thermaI says “He will run you down and can easily use his dashes to catch you. Definitely play with the team.”

ludenbergangel says “He can pretty easily leave with his W and drop frenzy with his R. If he all-ins you with R, you have to E a little over 2 seconds after he becomes visible again to reduce the damage from it (The damage from his R triggers 3 seconds after he goes out of the untargetable state and your E can be charged up to little over 1 second)”
DemonKingofNoxus1Ambessa says “Any assasin that can build serpentsfang like zed as example”

Real_Zefath says “When playing against Zed, you just have to stand on/around your traps and he can't get you. He can't use ult, he can't use W, it's probably the best match-up for Shaco.”
