How to play it

It is important to dodge Zed’s (W)-(E)-(Q) combo. Zed can easily secure a kill if your health is low, so use your [E] ability accordingly. However, you can get a kill on Zed if you managed to dodge his skills. We recommend calling your jungler for a gank as Zed’s (W) has a long cooldown.
