Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights at level 3 through your Q knockup and sustained damage output, forcing Zed to disengage or die.
  • From level 6, you lose 1v1s if Zed lands his full combo and uses R to dodge your E, unless you're significantly ahead in items or levels.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Zed typically does a full clear starting bot side, prioritizing farming over early skirmishes due to his weaker early game.
  • He'll likely avoid you until level 6 and focus on ganking lanes with his W-E-Q poke combo.

Invade or Not

  • You should invade Zed's jungle frequently in the early game, especially at his krugs or gromp after clearing your own camps.
  • The optimal timing is levels 3-5 when you have a significant combat advantage and can force him off his camps.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your E engage when Zed has R available, as he'll dodge your combo and potentially kill you with his shadows.
  • Avoid chasing Zed through unwarded areas where he can use terrain and shadows to outplay you with his mobility.
