DONT REVERT ZAC ·4/14/2019, 4:52:12 PM·4 votes·2,090 views

I'm a Zac main since season 3, currently diamond 1 and the old version of Zac was NOT better. Here is why:

-His old Q barely managed to do dmg and didn't even slow that much and had unreasonably long cool down.

-You could do some nice things with Zac's old version of his ultimate, like flash behind an enemy and knock him into your team, but there was only one problem - YOU WERE JUMPING FOR 4 SECONDS, UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING DURING THAT TIME, EXCEPT SPAMMING "W" (it was fun though). So it was very situational. On top of that you can do the same thing with Zac's new version of his ultimate, but now you are able to do more than just pressing "W" after casting ult .

The current version of Zac is BETTER than the old one. Here is why:

-You can create so much more pressure on the bottom side of the map after lvl 6 because of the easy double kill, if the enemies have no flashes. You can even dive if you know that the enemy jungler is not near to stop you.

-Now i want you to compare the efficiency of the new "Q" compared to the old one. With the new one you can stun 2 targets together, knock them up and slow them and have an easy E after that. As I said, with the old one you could barely slow them and the range was so short as well.

-With his current ult you can do MASSIVE comebacks. Let's say that u are losing early, but you scale better than the enemy team. And you have Zac. If he manages to land a 3-5 man ult, that's it. In high elo the game would already be over. I don't remember being able to do the same thing with the old one.

AND I KNOW. The old Zac ult was so much more fking fun, but I would rather to keep this one. It creates so much more options for good team comps, because you can bring multiple people in place. With the old one you just caused chaos the whole team fight, sometimes even trolling your own team mates.

I don't think they were looking at completely reverting him. Just a 'mostly reverted' version of his ultimate.

"Zac - We’re currently testing a mostly reverted version of the Ult with a few improvements to help it have more clear gameplay and understandable impact."

Agree, new Zac has much more synergy in his kit, it feels much better than old one.

Don't revert rito

current Zac spends a bunch of dead time trying to get the second part of his q versus old zac that only had a short skill shot that did alot of damage because it actually scaled well with ap (when people decided to build a little bit.). in my opinion his q second part should have just as much range as his first part since you need to hit the first part no matter what. Its just clunky things like that that riot puts into tanks and fighters kits and no body else's kits except maybe support mages that make people prefer the old Q where you always just use your spell and it goes on cooldown instead of it hanging in limbo for 3 seconds before going on cooldown

Pretty sure most people wouldn't want Q revert if Riot actually gave him some base damage.

Old Zac had a role as a niche toplane/support champion given his Q was pretty reliable. New Q is pretty useless for waveclear or trades and he's a pure tank now, he pretty much has no choice but to jungle. If he had some base damage that might change though.

As for the R I liked the old R more but both are strong, I'm indifferent. The new one is definitely better in high level play though given it forces flashes or does extreme displacement.

people just want a revert of his ultimate, most of your post is justifying new Q > old Q, but nobody said they want old Q back.

but now you are able to do more than just pressing "W" after casting ult

wat? aside from casting ult and click in a direction what more can you do? lmao

sometimes even trolling your own team mates.

New zac has much higher potential to troll team mates, compared to the old one.

They nerfed his E knockup and his damage for the new Q though. The new Zac is cancer because he forces a flash just by getting near you which isnt warranted when he has a huge range jump. Old Zac needed too land E.
