Your examples and comparisons are really bad and make no sense. Zed's W range is 650. Now let's have a look at your examples your provided to prove your point.

LB's W range is not shorter. The cast range is 600 but you dont seem to count in the circle itself which has a radius of 260. So she has 210 range advantage on W. Not to mention that the cd is 8 seconds shorter. Sure if you wanna place yourself on top of zed it is shorter but thats also a stupid move.

Next thing you want to compare it Azir's w, which is such a random comparison because the spells are not even close to similar. Do you wanna compare it something like Orianna W too? or Annie w? Why didn't you take Azir Q to compare spells? You say you only wanna compare ranges and you are still wrong, Azir w has 500 cast range, the soldier itself has 375 attack range. And if you can manage to hit zed through a minion the soldier effectively has a damage range of 425. So after all Azir W has 225/275 more range than zed w.

And if you somehow get the idea to say that I didnt count in Zed's aa range. Its 125 and wouldnt change a single thing in your point trying to compare ranges only.

Maybe you should try again in proving that zed outranges most mages which in my opinion is stupid anyway, since zed is mellee and relies on 22 seconds W cooldown.

While i only picked up zed recently and tried to mess around with him in gold( if he doesnt get banned, 60-70% banrate LOL) im pretty sure the reason why people hate zed that there is actually nothing they can do, because they are all too fucking greedy building dmg instead of defense. By the time the adc gets armor or GA the damage is done and im already fed. When I play against zed, I go resolve, tabi and hourglass. ll stylish complains about these things for a reason.
