I'm ONU Destroyer on LAS. My friends call me Zero. I'm an artist. That's all you need to know.

I'd like to inform you that I reached Challenger for 21 seasons straight in League since it's announcement in 1721. I'm a Silver III player, what do you think I'm doing. No, you should not in any way or form be playing this.

The point is to share my suffering to the world.

This is currently my one and I hope only AP Zed game. I don't want to look at this anymore. I just want to get rid of this curse. It hurts and it makes me want to end my existance.

Pros

Good early game poke.
Can tilt the **** out of your laner if you're winning and they realize they're losing to an AP Zed.
Fun if you enjoy suffering.
His ult deals more damage for every type of damage. That means that it deals more damage with Gunblade and Lich Bane, your only AP scalings.

Cons

You deal LITERALLY no damage.
You can probably kill a squishy target, but that's about it. No One-Shot potential.
His abilities don't ****ing scale with AP.
Can and probably will make you uninstall League of Legends.
Depends on R to deal a lot of his damage.
You will probably get like 20 AD off of his ult.

Alright, let's talk about Zed for a minute.
He's an AD Assassin that's known for his high burst and powerful ultimate, while having weak abilities that only work when used together in a specific order, right?

Forget about that.

This build focuses on one thing and one thing only: dealing as much damage as you can by stacking AP items and using your Gunblade Active and Lich Bane AA.

Some of the more "simple" combos include:

- W > Q [The Standard Poke combo]
- W > Q > E [Slightly More Complex Poke combo]
- W > R > Q > Gunblade > AA > E [Going For The Kill combo]

Amongst many others. Zed requires mastery to learn how to play correctly, you can't just do the same rotation of abilities every skirmish and not expect people to catch up to it. It won't work in every situation.

To play Zed, you have to adapt- use your skills in a different rotation for every situation, plan how to get in and out of teamfights, and most importantly, not use this **** build.

Alright, the only spells that actually matter are Flash and Ignite or, in some cases, some EXTREMELY weird cases, Teleport.

While the other Summoner Spells may offer more survivability, we don't care about that. Why is that, you ask? Because you, as AP Zed, deal literally no damage. Ignite helps with dealing some of that damage to the enemy, while Flash is just the best Summoner Spell just for the potential and the mobility it gives, it is essential on almost every champion.

WHY THE **** WOULD YOU PICK THIS IN RANKED.
It literally serves no other purpose than to confuse the **** out of your team AND the enemy team. You WILL deal 0 damage every teamfight and become useless once you get to the Mid Game.
Zed's already a difficult champion to master, if you want to go harder on yourself to the point of forcing you to make extremely risky plays just to kill someone because you can't be a "Meta Slave", sure, play this in ranked. Play this in your Bronze 4 promos, and you maybe have a 30% chance of winning. That's as high as you'll get.

NO. Absolutely not. Just. Just don't. Stop reading this now.
