How pros build Zed in Patch 26.21

This page lists the most recent ranked Zed games from Challenger players on the KR, EUW and NA servers. Recent games include S16 CIRCUS OWNER, MunchyPunchyLOL and MathisV. Open any game to see the full item path with timings, the complete rune page and the level-by-level skill order.

The summary aggregates those games: the most picked keystones, core items, skill max orders and summoner spells, each with its win rate. One player can add at most a few games, so a single one-trick does not decide the build.

Looking for counters and win rates instead? See the Mid tier list for Patch 26.21, or browse all LoL pro builds.
