Wave control, wall angles, respect for stun mages.
Zed becomes easier to punish when dependent on cooldowns and enemy stasis enchant. From the opposite side, the page also highlights this answer: Hold the wave in the middle to limit its flanks; early armor (Chain Vest).
Death Mark turns Zed from a poke assassin into a direct kill threat. At this timing, the correct decision is not always to force mid: sometimes pushing the wave and disappearing is enough to make the opponent lose lane control or tempo.
This is the window where Zed must accelerate. Mobility, lethality, and opening burst let him take short angles, punish rotations, and turn a pick into an objective before enemy defenses are complete.
The slow makes his conversions more stable: a target hit by shurikens or shadow has a harder time escaping the combo. This window matters especially against champions who survive the first burst but remain vulnerable to chase.
Safe farm, short poke trades (W→E→Q) and priority to prepare the first roam.
Spike 2 items: play flank/pick before each target, reset after execution.
Split short/side then join in R; look for isolated backline, GA if necessary.
Wave control, wall angles, respect for stun mages.
Side vision, pick → plates/Herald; avoids ARAM.
Flank coordinated with engage brackets; Stasis Enchant mandatory if many peels.
Quick full clear then wall ganks. Avoids superior duelists.
Herald/Dragon on pick; invade opposite after kill.
Assassinate the backline or play vision/pick before the decisive goal.
Sombra para duplicar proyectiles, 3 para la ralentización compartida, 1 para los 3 shurikens (Zed + sombra + sombra)

Sombra en una posición segura, ultimate hacia el objetivo, ráfaga completa, cambio para escapar
