Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Zed's superior range and mobility, but you win post-6 all-ins if you land Q since your R resets provide more sustained damage than his single R combo.
  • Focus on surviving early rather than forcing trades.

How to Trade

  • Look for Q-W trades when Zed uses W for waveclear, as he cannot immediately escape your retaliation.
  • Post-6, use Q-R-W-E for maximum burst, saving second R cast to follow his R or shadow swaps.

Wave Control

  • Accept being pushed in early and focus on last-hitting under tower while looking for Q angles through minions.
  • Post-6, maintain wave in center to have space for all-in engages without tower interference.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q on minions when Zed has kill pressure, as missing Q removes your primary engage tool and leaves you vulnerable to his combos.
  • Avoid chasing through multiple shadows without vision, as Zed can easily turn fights with proper shadow management.
