Who is Better, Zed or Jhin?

Both League champions are great. Both have their pros and cons. In League's current meta, Zed usually loses when facing off against Jhin, with a 47.3% win rate. Thus, Zed makes a bad counter to Jhin.

While Zed does have a lower win rate compared to Jhin, when they face off with one another, Zed also has a greater difficulty level that makes him a more difficult champ to pick up and master. You may get destroyed when picking Zed into Jhinas his relative depth means that you may not be able to reach his full potential without a significant amount of practice beforehand.

Additionally, Zed has only a small amount of CC and other utility, a similar amount to Jhin. This makes her just as valuable during teamfights, especially when trying to counter champions with a lot of burst damage.
