  • Zed and Katarina currently have really good winrates for being "Difficult champions" for non-onetricks. Both having really high winrates as well made me skeptical, are these champions just OP right now?

    To continue the start of the video where my train of thought was interrupted by laning -> Zed and Katarina are 'Hard Champs' that normally require lots of games to learn how to win on. Both Katarina and Zed though have REALLY HIGH PLAYRATES with a GOOD WINRATE (51.5%) right now, so are there just a bunch of one tricks... Or Zed and Katarina are not as bad as one tricks explain them to be.

      I think Zed is harder than Katarina by a large margin, but difficulty depends on the person too. Some champs click easier with some people than others. That said it's easier to screw up on Zed, between the ult timing and managing shadows and energy.

    Thanks Pekin for the videos! Really appreciate having games with actual commentaries and not just clickbait low elo stomps with screaming like some people do. Even your low elo games are informative and chill.
    I wanna get back into ranked so I hope you make more Lillia vids! I'm struggling on what runes to use for each match, there are lots of options for every roles that seem perfectly fine or viable but doing the math is another story.

    Zed was made to be skilled champ and he should be hitting Qs to actually do damage in ult, but you dont even need to hit your Qs, u just need to ult and press e, myb one aa and your target is dead. Unbalanced af, he should be high risk - high reward but he's actually low risk, and u dont even need to be mechanicaly good at the game to perform good on Zed.

    zed. is busted. You press R and do an absurd amount of damage, thats why its not just one tricks winning on an assassin. NO other champion (to my knowledge) cn last hit with an ability on repeat either, thats how busted his laning phase is. And no assassin can push in waves that safely. He's so busted its disgusting but riot doesn't care

    At 19:30 i think you could actually kill graves. I mean a you are not a zed main so it is hard to see.
    The thing is level 2 ultimate plus a triple Q deal a FUCKTON of damage like insane amounts that even despite the frozen heart he would die to it plus ignite.
    It hinges on you hitting all Qs and weaving a few auto attacks but it was definitely doable especially since graves does not have his stacked armor with E.
    But hitting a triple Q against a challenger graves as someone who just picked zed up would be a miracle.
