Hey!! I'm elaTVchannel and I'm playing on the EUW server and I'm a Zed main (+700k Mastery points).

I play Zed as much as I can, primarily in the midlane.
Recently Zed got rework, which is amazing and he is really strong at the moment. This is his better build.

Zed in his current state as a mid laner is very powerful. He can 1v1 anyone, which makes him a great split pusher and perfect for the midlane. He can easily destroy ADC's/Midlaners, but also tanks, as he has a good mix of attack speed, high damage and low cooldowns.
