Blade of the Ruined King is best used against laners that buy Rod of Ages as stated above. Blade of the Ruined King is still a great item, but is now more situational. Blade of the Ruined King is an item that used to be essential on Zed before season 6. Every purchase that you make should be geared to an enemy champion in the game. Zed is a attack damage assassin who needs the damage provided from items to help him scale into the late game. Boots of Swiftness can also help you get to the backline of teams. There team has to be made up of people that can't lock you down, but only slow you. Boots of Swiftness are the most situational boots that you can buy. Ninja Tabi always pay for themselves against laners like Yasuoor Talon. Ninja Tabi are best used against full AD teams or AD match ups. Keep in mind when using Ionian Boots of Lucidity make sure the enemy team doesn't have a lot of CC even if you are ahead. Ionian Boots of Lucidity are best used if you want to snowball the lane early. You build Mobility Boots when you are in a tough match up and you can't dual them. Mobility Boots are used if you want to roam a lot. If you are unsure what to buy Mercury's Treads are mostly never wrong. Being stuck in any CC for one to two seconds longer can result in a death. The MR and, more importantly, the tenacity makes this a great purchase. Boots Mercury's Treads are by far the best purchase on Zed. Mercurial Scimitar is also important in the Malzahar lane to nullify Nether Grasp. Mercurial Scimitar is at its best when used against CC that is undodgeable like Shield of Daybreak and Aegis of Zeonia. Mercurial Scimitar is essential against teams that have a lot of CC. Dead Man's Plate gives you some good stats and the passive is very helpful when attempting to dive on a priority target. Dead Man's Plate is a very situational item on Zed. If you are ever confused on what item to build Maw of Malmortius is almost always a good item to get unless you are against a full AD team. It gives you the damage that you need plus survivability. Maw of Malmortius is a very strong item on Zed because of the stats. Randuin's Omen is also great for when the enemies ADC is far ahead or you are in the late game. Randuin's Omen is a great pick up if your ADC is having issues getting peel. This is also a good item against AD burst such as Rengar and Kha'Zix. Guardian Angel is best used when the enemy team comp is mostly comprised of tanks because you can revive if you die to AoE. Banshee's Veil is great against laners that have really good scaling and can kill you without you being able to dodge or react IE Annie, Veigar, and Syndra. If you are dying before you are doing any damage then it is right to buy one of these items early if you dying to quickly. Since you will be roaming a lot on Zed you can clear the wards where needed. Clearing wards is one of the best ways to gain an advantage over the enemy team. Sweeping Lens is one of the most important things to get on your first back. Tiamat is great if you need to to deal damage to a lot of squishes. Tiamat is best used against laners that have really good early wave clear IE Lux and Viktor. The finished item, Blade of the Ruined King is also great for split pushing. Bilgewater Cutlass is the best against laners that like to purchase Rod of Ages and laners that get free HP scaling like Cho'Gath. The CDR is really nice to have on Caulfield's Warhammer. Caulfield's Warhammer is great if you know your opponent doesn't have cloth armor in the match up. Serrated Dirk is great if your opponent got cloth armor first or on a back because of the armor penetration it provides. Serrated Dirk is the most normal pick up on Zed. Hexdrinker is good against laners like LeBlanc, Annie, Syndra, and Diana. Hexdrinker(Against an AP opponent)is good if you haven't solo killed your laner yet and they have the damage to beat you in a all-in. The choices offered are for very different situations. This is one of the most important choices in Zed's early game. This applies to Orianna, Annie, and Irelia. (Safe start) is against auto attacking champions so you don't get bullied out of lane. (Starting Items) is the standard start for Zed. In most assassin builds you want 4 offensive items, 1 defensive item, and boots. Not all of these are possible, but some of these are more effective in the right situations. In a Zed build you want to look for 40% CDR, Survivability, Damage, and Armor penetration. This section goes more in depth on why you should build the items stated above. Building the right thing at right times can make you win games. Itemization is a core part of climbing in League of Legends.
