You should keep this up to date sir, I find the lack of other good quality Zed guides disturbing.
The reason I think some people are maxing E before Q (which isn't really reliable anymore, as Riot shifted power from E to Q) is mainly the "certain" damage output it grants - on top of somewhat increased slow. In plain simple, while you need to be adjecent to your enemy for E to damage him, it's still not a skillshot that you need to hit someone with, unlike Q. Therefore you could call it an excuse of not being able to hit your Q.
+1 which I am late to give, but better late than never, I s'pose?
Any thoughts?
-Normally 21/8/1 masteries are a lot more beneficial in comparison to 21/9/0 masteries, which may sound
weird but a 30 hp bonus isn't worth taking so many points in hp/lvl most of the time and 15 cd off
flash is a lot better.
-Why would you take
Please note that these are 2 minor points in an overall great guide.
Interesting question by dubjack about the energy issues with Zed. I don't really have too much trouble with it but maybe that's because I'm used to his energy overuse.
What do you think about the, EXPENSIVE, Seals of Energy Regeneration? Everyone runs Armor Seals now a days, I know, but what about trying these out? To spam his abilities more would be nice, especially early game. You ,more than likely, will be facing an AP in the mid, so the question is are these seals viable? Let's keep the cost of them out of consideration. I've got plenty of IP. :)
