As one of the most iconic assassins in the game, Zed has always been a fan favorite. With his ability to manipulate shadows and deal devastating burst damage, he is a force to be reckoned with on the Rift. The PsyOps Zed skin takes his deadly skills to a whole new level, giving players the opportunity to unleash their inner cybernetic ninja.
PsyOps Zed features a futuristic, high-tech look that perfectly complements his shadowy abilities. His armor is sleek and streamlined, adorned with glowing neon accents. The skin also includes new visual effects for his abilities, such as his shurikens and shadows, which now have a cybernetic aesthetic. The sound effects have also been modified to match the futuristic theme, adding an extra layer of immersion to the skin.
One of the standout features of PsyOps Zed is his recall animation. When Zed recalls, he is enveloped in a holographic projection, showcasing his mastery of technology and illusion. It's a visually stunning animation that adds a touch of flair to the skin.
Now, let's delve into the story of Zed and his place in the League of Legends universe. Zed, also known as the Master of Shadows, hails from the Ionian province of Shurima. Once a member of the Kinkou Order, an ancient organization dedicated to preserving balance, Zed's thirst for power led him down a dark path.
After discovering a forbidden technique known as the 'Shadow Magic,' Zed betrayed his master, Shen, and the Kinkou Order. He formed his own order, the Order of the Shadow, and sought to harness the full potential of the shadows. Zed's actions plunged Ionia into chaos, as he clashed with Shen and the remaining members of the Kinkou Order.
In the game, Zed is a high-damage assassin who excels at bursting down squishy targets. His kit revolves around his shadows, allowing him to dash around the battlefield and strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. With his ultimate ability, Death Mark, Zed can mark an enemy champion and then teleport to their location after a short delay, dealing massive damage in the process.
However, Zed is not without his weaknesses. He is relatively squishy and lacks crowd control, making him vulnerable to crowd control effects and burst damage. Additionally, Zed's abilities require precise timing and positioning to maximize their effectiveness, making him a high skill-cap champion.
Despite his controversial past, Zed remains a popular pick among players due to his high skill ceiling and flashy playstyle. With the release of the PsyOps Zed skin, players now have the opportunity to showcase their mastery of the Shadow Master in a futuristic, cyberpunk-inspired fashion.

Lore:
Utterly ruthless and without mercy, Zed is the leader of the Order of Shadow, an organization he created with the intent of militarizing Ionia's magical and martial traditions to drive out Noxian invaders. During the war, desperation led him to unlock the secret shadow form—a malevolent spirit magic as dangerous and corrupting as it is powerful. Zed has mastered all of these forbidden techniques to destroy anything he sees as a threat to his nation, or his new order.
