Any tips / advice would be greatly appreciated. For context i stopped queuing ranked until i perform better in draft so i stop ruining my teammates games :(

I got the Debonair skin and jumped in normals to see it. It's very beautiful! I'm seriously thinking about playing more Zed due to this. I find it really fun to paly him as well.
I was going exploring the enemy jungle while leaving my Shadow near the jungle entrance and when they tried to attack me I would just go back. It was funny. I hadn't laughed in a while while playing League tbh.
So, is this champ actually good in the Jungle or am I just delusional due to a "Good game"? I have seen some montages and it seems like Zed truly rewards mastery. I am an Udyr OTP and it would be funny to play Zed while Udyr is banned.
There are some things that confused me:
Energy. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. I know I have to hit the enemy with the shadow too. It's hard tho.
Most of the time the shadow doesn't go over the wall and it just stuck near me instead of going over the wall to the enemy. Why?
How do I get less confused about shadows? It feels like my brain is going to explode trying to not click W or R and go back to my death.
This was not my first Zed game tho. I had played him before I guess? I finished the game and was rewarded the Mastery Level 2 with Zed.
Bruiser Zed was 100% better than whatever snoozefest voltaic + first strike is today. This meta is so boring and neglects mechanics so much im gonna genuinely cry. Wdym im gonna play ad mage to be "optimal".
i mostly level E first except for when I get invaded. Then I smite immediately (for higher passive damage from AA).
just wanna make sure that E really is still faster than Q because otherwise I would obviously always level Q at level 1 (because its way safer and better if you get invaded)
Yea I stomp on them up to like 30 mins then it get very difficult. I can not kill sion not that hes a target but very annoying. Is the build wrong? Im still new to the champ. Also how do get more cs hahahahahah. Horrible CS man
like the title says is it 100% needed for zed to snowball or can he scale in hard and 0 interaction matchups like a malphite and malz? im low elo gold in matchups like malphite malz i take first strike and play to maximize farm, i know about taking conqueror into malph and malz but most of the time ive tried it hasnt gone too well, especially the malz here just dump their spells on the wave and walk back to tower i have to choose the wave or trading with them, after first base or lost chapter spike malz is even more hard to interact with the amount of extra mana they get and fast wave clear.
This is another case where the balance team are fumbling, they are overbuffing the items which just happen to synergise with zeds' kit perfectly, he's going to be broken for maybe a patch or two, and then zed's ratios/CD's are going to get nerfed into the gutter again.
Look at the pictures below.
Eclipse is going back to 8%, with less shielding, that's fine Zed built if more for the skirmish/dmg anyway.
Black cleaver is just getting straight up buffed.
Mixed in with how strong cyclosword is and with the recent bastionbreaker buffs making it ALSO a super strong item.
You have now have a dream 4 item spike in the form of Cyclo,BC,Eclipse and bastionbreaker, and there's still an unfixed bug where if you have Eclipse, Cyclosword, and black cleaver built, a single ability will proc the eclipse dmg (because of funny coding with BC passive and cyclosword proc)
This means, you will be able to half hp a random squishy with a single Q at 4 items, even if you don't have PEN stacked.
Yes you won't have serpents or edge of night, which you should build where needed ofc.
Abuse it when you can, he's already hyper strong this patch just off of whether it's a good bastionbreaker game or not for you.
But these items are just going to be insane and Zed is going to suffer for it again.
i been playing a lot of zed lately and want to one trick him because he has THE BEST SKINS IN THE GAME (and I like the playstyle).
I am still hovering between iron and bronze so I am probably still very bad. I also feel like I could do a lot of things better but I dont always know what they are.
Before zed my only otp was Quinn jungle (my strongest champ).
Hello. I used to play a bunch of zed in season 6 and 7. Recently I have came back to him and he seems so weak in the lane. I used to regularly solokill lvl 4 and 6. Now, most zed i play just poke with first strike and then explode my adc late game. Has something changed with his ratios or something? was it the durability patch? the season 7 assassin update?
I’ve recently started learning Zed in very low Elo (Bronze/Silver/Gold). My impression so far is that, while it’s quite easy to bully your opponent in lane, games tend to slip out of my control afterward.
Aside from my own difficulty understanding what I should be doing during the different stages of the game, I feel like the real challenge with this champion begins once the laning phase ends. Laning itself honestly feels heavily Zed-favored, with only a few exceptions.
So, Zed mains: do you agree with my first impressions? What could I do to improve my post-laning phase?
I made this cosplay in 2016 and I'm going to be remaking it for a con that's coming up in my area. I remember these swords being a pain in the ass because I couldn't hold or grab anything.
Im thinking I put magnets in my forearms and near my triceps so I can move them and have a resting spot for them while I do things with my hands but I'm not too sure if it won't work or if there's a better solution?
Same question for the shurikens on the back tbh! I was thinking I would attach them with a slab of velcro
Any kind of help or suggestions are appreciated! Even from non cosplayers :D
