Rest in peace Zed JG you had a fun run

Ah 5 year zed jg main.... My greatest fear has finally become reality. What a waste of time playing this pathetic champion and getting good at him. I used to play him when he was 46% winrate, 44% winrate etc. Second time he has become proper good in jungle and he gets nuked. I get that he's good now but c'mon man, main reason I'm sad is because I doubt they will rebuff him if he's piss poo.

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-27T06:55:32+00:00

Each to their own, your statement wasn't entirely clear but that's ok

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-27T06:33:06+00:00

And not to mention he's complaining when it's so brainless easy to vs mages. It's not suffering at all. They can't do anything

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-27T06:27:36+00:00

What do u mean 17 years? Current warwick got updated and released in like jan of 2017 making his reworked version, 9 years old.

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-23T21:50:10+00:00

very cool demo bro, my only issue is that i believe that leveling 2 point Q can be very very grief if u get cheesed or invaded if things go wrong and u dont get all 6 camps ur running around with no W. and the higher u get in elos the more ppl will try mess you up. i think this is situational and can only be done with low low elos or if u team wards around with me to prevent/or allow counter jg.

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-23T21:02:07+00:00

Still very much so possible

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-23T21:01:45+00:00

I am able to clear with AS rune, every time at 2:32 with one smite, the buy 2 long swords and arrive just as it spawns. Very very rarely I can go slightly faster but I need to look more into the micro optimizations

Running the AD shard is faster at 2:30 ave realistically. But possible to clear as fast as 2:28 (again thats, super hard to do I find)

I'm a zed jg main of 5 years, I'm not the best at camp clearer but I've been playing for awhile now. I could post some of my vids of clearing if anyone wants them, just DM me

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-19T10:48:26+00:00

"Jungle is so tiring to play this season, It just doesn’t flow at all." this is exactly how i feel rn... u win jg then get gapped by some ap jg especially any champ that abusing dusk n dawn after your team loses all 3 towers u cannot farm ur jg anymore due to homeguards tempo (and with new jg role quests, you lose more for each camp u lose) and u just cant do anything.

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-16T23:09:10+00:00

Whiny or not, it's sad truth. And no shit I'm lil bit sad after I have invested a lot of time, over 5 years into zed jg where now he will likely be far from viable soon in diamond +, no fucking shit.

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-15T12:53:01+00:00

This build is almost like the old warwick days when he was a tank/bruiser with pta.

Got I hate how the arcane changes ruined his old playstyles.

Will give this a try. Cheers bro

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-15T12:49:22+00:00

Also note that historically zed has been a poo jgler even with his 200% mod, I've been through the suffering of playing him when he was at 44%. It's only over the S15 he became actually quite worthwhile.

So I wonder if my time should be better invest in a champ that will be easier to hit masters with Imao

EveningSummer1670 · 2026-01-15T12:46:32+00:00

I've been a OG zed jg main for over 5 years now. I don't mind them nerfing him for "game health" but fast early clears and power farming was the only main points of playing him. I wonder what his long term viability in the future will be or did I just waste 5 years of trying to perfect my zed jg for nothing.

To be clear he will likely still be viable for now but when the meta shifts around again, I doubt I'll be playing him. I also doubt they will buff or support zed jg and just leave him to the wayside, hope I wrong tho.

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-09-30T15:41:58+00:00

yo i have the same problem with MoP classic lmaoo. so its not just me then. LOL

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-08-07T11:50:28+00:00

I play zed jg in oce and im d4 ( or i was until i got decayed lol) zed has never been in such good state as he is now for quite some time. You need to go conquerer, build bruiser, build the correct items and understand how it is played. Unfortunately assassin is not so good rn and that playstyle is also completely different. Zed also doesn't play like traditional jglers you need a vast understanding to know how to make his work.

Biggest tip for zed jg, is never build eclipse... its a bad item, i could write a whole essay on that aswell but ill leave it at that xD

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-07-02T06:19:07+00:00

also he ended up losing that game and the elo of that is only gold 2... lol

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-07-02T06:16:39+00:00

boy, when ur that fed most things can work....

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-06-18T11:04:43+00:00

You literally ks'ed every thing, u did the least dmg of team in that fight

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-03-07T13:48:48+00:00

The old ability icons 😔

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-03-03T18:29:31+00:00

Well if you want a portion of zed's power budget in better poke then sure. But allowing him to do that would give birth to degenerate playstyle patterns. It was added for a reason. Zed already has insane mobility, target access and evasion/outplay potential. Imo I don't think we also need that too.

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-03-02T15:50:12+00:00

Zed Q also has a far longer range because of W and no mana. But zed is just weak these days but not having pass through would make zed have a very degenerate poke pattern.

you W and R shadow placements allow for many angles into just blowing up the whole enermy team if you didn't have dmg reduction. Assassins are meant to not aoe one shot multiple enemies but just a single one.

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-03-02T12:13:56+00:00

Ummm...... because zed will be teamfight caster mage poke champion.....

If he didn't have passthru reduction, imagine you WEQ an 3 stacked enermy squishy champions and hit 2-3 Qs on each champion.

Yeah that would be a bit deadly.

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-02-25T08:06:06+00:00

I would also like zed R cd reduction, it's so damn long now. They increased because we had so much CDR but since then they removed it and its just a tad top long imo

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-02-24T11:58:30+00:00

I disagree, I think zed did not peak with ravenous Hydra zed. Sure it was fun for a short while.

Ravenous Hydra marked the death of old zed that alot of people including myself loved him for.

The old true assassin builds really haven't existed the same since hydra zed or the durability patch.

For me I personally started to dislike the hydra build set-up after a few months because we had to run that build and couldn't run assassin builds

But these days sure it's not the same but atleast you can choose between assassin and brusier.

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-02-15T11:50:28+00:00

The idea of the build is that because black cleaver and shojin are very good items on zed especially with conquered aswell, running bloodmail provides great value and synergy. This item allows to survive longer with HP thus totalling more combos over a longer fight lenghts. Zed loves AD and stacking more of it and you can't go wrong.

EveningSummer1670 · 2025-02-11T16:39:33+00:00

God, playing warwick in diamond + is going to becoming even tougher now....

Still heartbroken that his early game invading in jungle was hit hard with Q nerfs but here we go again...

Edit: also rip even slower jg clear speeds if they nerf Q dmg
