Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
Except for rare builds, Zed deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Pantheon deals mainly physical damage (88.72%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Zed is higher farming statistics (ranked 12th among role champions) (versus 40th for Pantheon), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Zed player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Pantheon player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
