There is no counterplay to this item. The game isn't even about teamwork or skill anymore. It's just about buying Zz'Rot Portal. I just played a game where the game score was 24-9. We constantly out played the enemy team, but there was just one problem. The enemy team built 4 Zz'rot Portals. This item needs to either be removed, or at least limited to one item per team.
Deathstr0ke133 votesIt really isn't that big of a problem, it doesn't tilt the balance of a lane so hard it needs to be removed
SeargentAnus2 votesNerf it by giving it a 3 minute CD.
TheGrot1 votesA longer CD won't matter. You have to over extend so far to clear them that it's not realistic to do so most of the time.
SeargentAnus1 votesIt's relatively easy to take out, but the issue is if you take it out another will take its place by the time you move to support your team on another area of the map.
Wolfram Oxford2 votesHow about it doesn't need changes? You guys are all just bitching about something that doesn't need to be changed. Naturally lanes will push to either side, so it is essential mid-late game to send someone to manage these pushing lanes. So having an item that pushes lanes and has counter play isn't too big of a deal. It is a so-so tank item, and the portal can be easily located, allowing your team to find and destroy it. Plus if you think that's too much of a hassle buy your own. Then the lane will either push depending on your stats, or it will behave like a normal lane, but also freeze at some point due to the decaying health of the void creatures.
Dominick Destine1 votesIt's pretty much guaranteed to be nerfed soon.
dangopee1 votesThe counter play is to get your own portals. If you were that ahead you guys definitely could have afforded them while still doing more damage than the enemy team. The rot is pretty much the only way to make a comeback now. It's the best way to win when the enemy has a way better team fighting comp than you. It allows for more strategy than the boring deathball vs deathball lets see who will randomly win.
Unplayed Hero1 votesI agree, it is a good way to come back into the game. The issue comes with that, is that its nails in the coffin of a losing team. If the counterplay to the item is the item itself, then it play WAY to much of a factor in the game. You mentioned strategy.. yet it doesnt take much strategy to build it... or place it down. minions ignore the portal so you have to send someone to go clear it. The range that the voidling will travel is extremely far when youre behing and the enemy is building it. A 5-man team with 5 zz'rots can litterally keep a team shoved into their base. and not even need to focus on the game itself. As for the "boring deathball".. even if you win a teamfight against a team with 2+ zz's then after the team fight. the first priority has to be to find the portal and distroy it. which usually buys enough time for someone to respawn so you cant actually push an objective
