Question 1

Wall his Q

Accepted Answer

Almost all of Zed's damage is his Q (Razor Shuriken): drop Wind Wall on his shurikens to eat a big chunk of it and trade back for free.

Question 2

Punish his W

Accepted Answer

When he burns Living Shadow (W) to harass, abuse its very long cooldown and trade back hard: he has no shadow left to reposition out of your return damage.

Question 3

Ignite over Exhaust

Accepted Answer

Exhaust can blunt his all-in, but Ignite gives you more kill pressure in lane: keep Ignite unless you just need to survive his burst.

Question 4

Skill matchup

Accepted Answer

This stays a skill matchup that's slightly in your favor: dodge the Qs, respect his combo, and the lane tilts Yasuo.

Question 5

What should you never do as Yasuo vs Zed?

Accepted Answer

Never trade into his Q without Wind Wall available: that shuriken poke is where his entire damage output comes from.
