Mid
Zed
the Master of Shadows
Shadow-swap assassin and the classic outplay mid.
Should you main Zed?
Zed is the Energy mid assassin: Razor Shuriken poke, Living Shadow for mixups, Shadow Slash slow and energy return, and Death Mark that detonates after you weave damage. He deletes immobile mages and ADCs who lack Stopwatch or exhaust timing.
Shadow management is the whole hero. W-out for safety, W-in for commits, and ult only when your shadows and items can finish the Mark. He falls off if he never gets a lead and the enemy stacks armor and Control Wards.
Main Zed if you track enemy summoner spells and enjoy all-in assassination windows. Practice shadow swapping until it is muscle memory. When behind, farm side waves and look for isolated targets rather than diving a full-health pocket through three CC tools.
Death Mark the priority carry, land Q through shadows, then swap only if the detonation plus Ignite closes — swapping early into a exhaust or Freeze wastes the ult. Build lethality when they are squishy; respect tanks who just want you to ult them for free peel.
