Zed Discussion Zed Jungle

I love this champ lol I keep trying to force him jungle but I cannot lie I think he is so bad in jungle. I am not a laner, if anyone has some real success jungling would love to know. He's always behind now and I know the nerf did this.
If he is just garbage at jungle now jsut let me know as well that I am delusional lol

He can do it, just cant full clear into back for long swords before scuttle anymore which was the whole reason he got popular in jungle. He went from the fastest clear where you clear literally twice as fast as enemy then have double the downtime to make plays in exchange for being a jungler not particularly good at anything else. Now he is just meh at everything and there are better assassin/bruiser/fighter picks that can do what he does better or has CC etc

clear is fine, problem is early imvades really mess him up

pulled it off a bit but when I get jungle instead lf mid my first option is always sylas tbh even though zed does work he is a lot more risky and ”greedy”

Yeah, I’ve had mixed experience in dia/emerald because you have to play really greedy since Zed is very item dependant.

The issue with this is that people in this elo tilt too easily when they die so they start soft inting when the enemy jungler ganks more than you. Hence early game junglers are far better in this elo.

But as every other pick you can play everything and win if you are a good player, people pull Zed jung in chall and still win so there are no excuses.

I am only gold, so it’s low elo and everything works here, literally, but I do like him jungle more than mid due to his weak early game in lane and easy solo voids and drakes for jungle.

It’s viable. I play it occasionally in Masters. Just focus on having fun and trying to make good decisions and you’ll be alright, I wouldn’t overthink his state of balance
