A wild Zed

Why you should let me play Zed Support

One trick

4.25M+ points deep

I am a 4M-point Zed one trick. I know exactly what this champion can and cannot do — and inting your bot lane is not on the list.

Receipts

Not my first rodeo

150+ Zed support games this season at a 55%+ win rate. This is a strategy, not a cry for help. Proof lives on op.gg.

No CC, all violence

An assassin in your lane

Zero crowd control, sure. In exchange: obscene poke damage, and full all-ins onto the enemy ADC every time my kit is up.

Synergies

Pick your ADC

Best tier first — the colored bar is our lane rating, straight out of champ select. Tap your champ for the duo notes. And play what you're comfy on.

Good

Real synergy — first picks

Okay

Workable — solid picks

Still winnable

Not much synergy — comfort over combo

No ADC by that name. Autofill moment?

Playstyle

The gameplan, in four beats

I

Survive to level three

We play for level 3. The only ask: don't bleed HP before then. Once I have three abilities, the lane starts.

II

Poke until it's time

Shurikens on cooldown until an all-in opens up. Power spikes hit at Serrated Dirk and level 6 — that's when people start dying.

III

The kills go to you

I try to funnel you kills and hand you the tower plate gold too. If a kill lands on me instead — relax, it's not that bad. Gold on an assassin still wins games.

IV

Objectives too

Real damage at dragons and jungle objectives. The assassin stat line doesn't switch off at the pit.

Build & rune

How this gets funded

Support income is a rounding error and lethality items are expensive. The rune fixes the math.

Keystone

First Strike

Every trade prints bonus gold. By mid-game it has quietly paid for the build, so the scaling actually shows up instead of arriving at minute 40.
