Hello i am battle brawler,and experienced league player for 3 years now.This guide im here to show you the power of bruiser zed.This build allows zed to be bulky and soak up way more damage than normal but still retain his insane splitpush power and burst.

Pros/Cons

-Zed loses alot of his burst damage with this build

-Zed relies on using Ravenous Hydra's active in this build

-Thats about it

-Zed has alot of sustained damage and can hit tanks harder with his BOTRK

-Zed is definitely able to soak up retaliation better with this build than a typical zed build

-Zed is still a great splitpusher with sunfire cape and ravenous hydra

-Zed still has insane burst if you use your Ravenous Hydra's active properly

Runes

Flat AD helps to give your spells more damage.Can switch for armour penetration since last hitting is still a breeze with his passive.

Armour helps you survive against early AD harass from people like talon.Pretty standard.

Scaling health stays relevant late game and helps you soak up all kinds of damage.Again,like armour runes,pretty standard since season 4

Early game cdr lets you spam shuriken's,w,e and ult more often.Helps get last hits when you are being zoned and scales very well late game since you are a AD caster assassin.

Magic resist to mitigate early magic damage,especially from people like Leblanc.Very common and standard like armour and scaling health.

Lifesteal helps you sustain lane and scales with your AD and Hydra.Early lifesteal is great since Zed has no innate sustain.
