I am hanging on to the hope that Riot will buff Diana after lackluster Lunar Revel skin sales. She just needs a little bit of a numbers buff on any of her abilities and I think she'd be popular again. Or they could just bring Moonflair Spellblade to SR: 50 AP, 50 MR, 50 Armor, Tenacity, builds from Seeker's, such a perfect item for her.

My question more has to do with why Rapidstar was falling off. Surely I feel he is talented... did he not like CJ's management? Or was it that he simply does not find competitive LoL appealing anymore?
I have always been quite biased against CJ Entus during the BW era. I feel that they were mostly known for their vigourous practice schedule, had some decent players... but few players were in the limelight for long. Then there was savior but I don't want to talk about him. I always have this impression that CJ is this slave driver team that expects its players to practice like mindless drones.
Again this is just my super biased impression of how CJ is ran.

I actually feel that item is a bit strong, especially on Orianna. Also it has dual resistance on it, which should be reserved for only GA.

I'd like it if Moonflair Spellblade in maybe a modified format made it to SR.
I think that it'd be cool if every mid-range item had multiple build paths. Haunting Guise and Seekers Armguard are both offenders of this.
Also, Riot may get some of my money for once, I like that lantern skin.

A bit? It would be crazy broken on tons of mids imo

Guys quick question. I've recently decided to try out Zed as I've always loved energy champions (Akali, Kennen, Shen <3) and he was the only one I haven't played even one game because I've found him difficult to play. But since I'm in Bronze 1 (lol TT) I said to myself, screw that, ranked are best games to try out new champs. Got quadra kill first game and I can say that Zed is awesome as fuck. Champ that can carry you from ELO hell..

Also, what are the best counters to Zed? I've played against Kassadin/Shyv/Fizz/Olaf so far and I had no difficulties against any of them. Yeah, I know it's still Bronze but if I get higher, which champions should I be afraid while playing mid/top ?

They need to work out what they want her to be. Straight buffing her numbers is too problematic. Once upon a time she could build straight tank and still virtually instagib people.
She probably needs to be a dive focused AP bruiser or an assassinish mid type. I like the dive focus, her kit is just perfect for that.

I pick Lissandra into Zed everytime. While I wouldn't say its a free win, Zed can't kill her. Same with Kayle. I've also had a lot of success as Malzahar for some reason, seems like whenever he goes in, you just drop your full combo on him before he gets down enough damage for Death Mark to pop you. Plus you push just as well. I don't know how true that holds for a skilled Zed vs Malz match up though.

Completely random, whatever happened to Riven jungle? I mean with junglers no longer being strictly supports that roam wouldn't she be pretty scary to come dash/stuning into a lane? What's the deal.

Riven needs more farm than you'd get as a jungler. Plus, she's a great lane bully in mid.

Kayle and Liss are good versus Zed because they have invulnerability
I understand why Malz is good versus Zed, but his kind of sustained, zone control damage is very hard to find a niche for. He's similar to Anivia in some ways, but they feel like characters that could be hypercarries but are too gimped by the current meta (and numbers) to really shine. By all means play the champ you want, but I'd much rather have and play Liss over Malz.

Kayle (played decently) will make you never play Zed again
That being said, in bronze-gold as long as you are exceptional with your hero (really good to pick one and practice it till you are a god) you can beat anyone and any counter. If you're losing lane, just try roaming. Not use in forcing a strategy that isn't working.

When it was played in OGN, IIRC it was lizard/golem+brut into CDR to be a CCbot, which isn't a bad way to play her on minimal farm. Not a good style to carry with in soloq, but as far as professional play goes, for a jungler it's fine.

Yeah, that example was more anecdotal than anything. Incidentally, I find Malz to be good vs virtually all assassins (cept Talon). I'd say numbers are fine (e.g. Malz has some of the highest ratios and base damage in game (Granted it's a lot of DoT)), the lack of mobility hurts them more in the current meta. A hyper mobile jungler just fucks you over as Malz.
Liss and Kayle are defintiely the go to Zed counters though. Play Liss for slightly more hipster cred.

Kayle op though, so that's ok.

Remember when her Q was a mini DFG and her ult could be cast from a screen away? I had a 70% winrate season 2 with like 10 quadra kills (no penta, but still).

Zed has a hard time vs Orianna too 
|
Been playing a lot of diana lately. She honestly isn't as bad as you guys are making her out to be. Just don't play her vs heimer yasuo or cassio and maybe someother bad matchups i'm not sure of atm and you'll be fine.
