Zed <3. Like Phoenix said, Zed can turn duels around with his ultimate, making him untargetable (wasting your opponents' skillshots, etc) while using his ult, and throw your shurikens, do your E and AA a few times, basically if you don't kill them after that, the ultimate's pop will.

In teamfights, he can using his living shadow to pop behind the tank/bruiser line, and cast his ultimate on to the squishy carries and burst them down before the bruisers can knock him off. You probably will die straight after that, but it's worth it if you get a carry for an asssassin (YOU).

Or you can just sneak in a bush, and wait for the tanks to go past, then use your ultimate to kill the carry, and use your living shadow to get yourself in a better position with your team.

It won't be easy using Zed for the first time, since his mechanics are pretty damn confusing for a first timer, but if you get the hang of him, the juking opportunity is too damn high xD
