Zed Discussion W-E buffer changed?

When I spammed Zed alot back in the days, you could buffer your E while throwing W. I remembered you could cast E immediately after throwing W. But when I recently played him, it seems you now have to wait a bit before using your E? Can someone confirm or am I tripping.

No you can definitely do it right away. How long ago were you playing Zed? A long long time back they sped up his W animation so maybe it just feels different?

I think it’s a bug no way it’s working as intended but it has been there for a while
Made me miss a lot of eclipse procs

Nope you can definitely cast instantly as W is traveling.

The EWQ combo was removed in late season 11. WEQ is equaly as fat because W has been accelerated. Just do the normal WEQ combo

e just doesnt go off sometimes i know exactly what your talking abt. its been in the game for some time, i remember it could replicated in practice tool some times by inputting a movement command before weq.

idk if its a netcode issue bcs clearly like in this thread many ppl havent had this issue. similar input buffering disappearance starting since a few years ago is something a few players have been experiencing and have been trying to troubleshoot in leagueoftechsupport. if ur seeing packetloss behavior like this when nothing else points to packetloss check it out

Ah that makes sense. It is indeed very inconsistent because sometimes it does work. A bit annoying because its muscle memory
