Zed has never been one of those champions hitting the highest places on tier lists. His win rate has always suffered due to him being an extremely challenging and mechanically demanding champion. However, there is no reason to fear. In this guide, we are gonna examine the highest win rate ARAM Zed build, which will enable us to have a much smoother experience with the champion!
Best Zed ARAM Items
Hubris
The best first item that we can build on Zed in ARAM is Hubris. This item will give us a temporary AD each time we kill an enemy. Additionally, the temporary AD will increase relative to the amount of kills we score.
The Collector
Another great item for Zed in ARAM is the Collector. The added lethality we will receive from this item will make it much easier for us to damage enemies in the early game. Additionally, the item will provide us with a passive that instantly executes enemies below a certain HP threshold, and gives us some additional gold for each kill.
Serylda’s Grudge
The third best and my personal favorite item is the Serylda’s Grudge. The item will grant us a really great armor penetration amounting to 30%. It will also give us really great amounts of damage, ability haste as well as a passive that will slow every enemy below 50% HP.
Profane Hydra
Profane Hydra is yet another really beneficial item choice for Zed in ARAM. The item will enable us to manage waves by shoving them quickly. The benefit of shoved waves in ARAM is that our allies will be able to exert much more pressure on the enemies since enemies will be forced to retreat under tower.
Eclipse
Finally, a great item to finish off our build would be the Eclipse. It will add to the stats we have been collecting such as damage, and ability haste, but it will also grant us a pretty nice shielding passive. The passive shielding will trigger whenever we land two consecutive attacks on an enemy. The shield is pretty neat and useful, especially considering how long of a cooldown it has.
Boots
The greatest boots for Zed in ARAM are the Ionian Boots of Lucidity. These boots will give us the much-needed ability haste, and enable us to use our abilities much more frequently.
Runes for Zed in ARAM
- Electrocute
- Taste of Blood
- Eyeball Collection
- Ultimate Hunter
- Transcendence
- Scorch
The greatest keystone for Zed in ARAM is the Electrocute. We can proc it quite easily with our W+E+Q combo, and it will do pretty nice damage throughout the game. The best rune to follow up electrocute with is the Taste of Blood, which will grant us great healing and sustain in the early game.
Next up, I would recommend taking Eyeball Collection and Ultimate Hunter. Eyeball Collection will grant us free bonus damage, while Ultimate Hunter will reduce the cooldown of our most valuable Zed spell. A great thing about these two runes is that they will stack simultaneously.
For the final two runes, I would take Transcendence and Scorch. Transcendence is a pretty nice addition to our loadout, as it will increase our damage by enabling us to cast abilities more frequently. Scorch will just be a simple addition to increase our early poke damage.
Final Thoughts
Zed’s low ARAM win rate might mislead some people into thinking he is a bad ARAM pick, however, this couldn’t be further from the truth. When played correctly, and with the correct build, Zed becomes a really great addition to any comp.
