How to Beat Zed in Lane
Beating Zed in lane comes down to timing, not just mechanics. This clock lays the matchup across the first fifteen minutes, so drag the scrubber and you can watch the red danger band rise and fall, see where the blue kill-threat line crosses it, and catch the level and gank marks that swing the lane. With Malphite selected, the clock is set to this exact matchup, and one of the beats it tracks is their level 6 landing around 5:25.
