Zed Matchups

Good Against
Yasuo Guide | League of Legends Wild Rift - zilliongamerYasuoPlaying Zed against Yasuo in mid lane, you may hard to farm early game because Yasuo can clear minion wave fast. However, you will be good after getting the ultimate. Use Razor Shuriken to break Yasuo's shield.
Twisted Fate Guide | League of Legends Wild Rift - zilliongamerTwisted Fate

Zed can counter champion with low mobility and squishy health that he can one-shot Twisted Fate easily. However, in the early game, you may lose some minion because of Twisted Fate range attack longer than you.

Ziggs Guide | League of Legends Wild Rift - zilliongamerZiggsZiggs also another champion that Zed can counter him well. Zed is a bit hard in the early game but when he gets all his skill, he will be able to get close to Ziggs and kill him.
Hard Counters
