Reign of Gaming

It seems there's no way to convince you of my (albeit unproven) innocence...and extreme silliness (no idea as to how I managed to make such a thing happen, but it's not like I haven't seen worse mistakes happen), so I shall settle for thanking you for your answer from the other thread (in case the mods decide to delete it rather than this one, here it is) . It solved my dilemma and now I too am sporting the 56 AD @ lvl 1 ninja with hidden superpowers!

I honestly didn't manage to delete the thread. Don't know (nor really care) whether or not you believe me, but that's no reason to jump to such assumptions. Thanks to whichever mod solves the problem by taking this forsaken part of the internet into the dark depths of the Void.

 

       Greetings, summoners! I've recently started playing everyone's favorite ninja - the one, the almighty Shre...uhm, Zed. Since I'm the kind of person who spends nearly as much time checking through runes, masteries, items and such as playing, I've got this little problem with the champion. I'd say, after looking at this, that Zed's high scalings, W passive and not-particularly-awesome base damages scream "AD!". However, I've seen many renowned players (such as Alex Ich, Ocelote, Bjergsen and Xpeke) use Armor Pen on both marks and quints (and sometimes AD and Lifesteal which I also like a lot, but that's another story). While AD is redundant when, for example, Zed is at his tower (thanks to the passive), he should probably avoid that situation in the first place. Also, there are obviously two very different cases to be analyzed : mid and top Zed (since jungle's as rare as a near-extinct panda). I understand that, especially coupled with Brutalizer, most midders will take basically true damage with the stacked ArPen (and close to that on top lane), but doesn't flat ArPen get rather weak when mages get their Zhonya's and bruisers their Sunfires and all that (Marksmen will die no matter what runes are used most of the time, so it's irellevant)? Since such items would surely be purchased in the mid game, Zed's power spike might be in a bit of trouble, as you'd most likely be buying Ruined King before Last Whisper, which would help negate the problem. There's also the fact that Zed's kill potential pre-6 is nothing compared to it after getting Death Mark, which is a weakness of the AD route (it helps a lot more than ArPen in the first levels)...I'm not quite sure what to think of this, which is why i request your aid.                                                                                                May Talos guide you away from evil (as in, do NOT pick Teeto. EVER.) !             

     Uhm, I seem to have accidentally made another thread while trying to edit...would any mod be so kind as to remove this one? Can't seem to find out how ._. .
