How to play it

✓

Dodge his ult burst

Zed's ult drops him on the opposite side of you: flash or E the instant he reappears to avoid his Q and E damage.

✓

Punish his shadow

After his shadow disappears or he teleports to it, you have a sizable window to deal damage: you can even kill him before 6.

✓

Hold your W

Save your W for when he uses his shadow: he's pretty helpless without it, and it takes most of his escape.

✕

Never throw your ult expecting a kill after 6: he'll just meet it with his own and you lose the trade.
