Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights unless you land perfect Q-E-passive proc and dodge his W shadow with your E dash timing.
- From level 6, you only win 1v1s when you have R available and can bait his R with your W stun field or when he's already used key cooldowns.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Zed typically does full clear starting red side: Red-Krugs-Raptors-Wolves-Blue-Gromp, looking for level 4 gank or scuttle contest.
- He may path toward his strong side lane for early pressure if mid has priority.
Invade or Not
- Avoid invading Zed early as he wins most 1v1s pre-6 and has better escape tools with W shadow.
- Only counter-invade when you know his position through wards and can steal camps without confrontation.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use your E dash aggressively without R available, as he can easily R onto you and you'll have no escape.
- Never fight him in open areas where he can easily land W-E-Q combo - force fights near walls where you can use terrain for Q angles.
