Dual mode for Zac

periodictable·Oct 4, 2018·4 votes·3,044 views

As a 1M mastery Zac main, I really miss the mechanisms from old Zac.. I was hoping Riot could make a dual mode playstyle for Zac, like what they do with Kayn, at the beginning of the game they can declare the stance (Power Stance/ Control Stance). This makes sense for the following reasons:

-Old Zac was also perfectly balanced, no need to worry about being OP or broken. -Zac top will be viable again -Zac is made of Goo, and he is a "Secret Weapon", this added flexibility and mystery fits his title well. -Both stances are tanks, so this won't affect team comp decision in solo Q. -More fun and MUCH higher pick rate

Let me know any opinions if you guys have :)

As a Zac main i really like this. I usually dislike the, just return to prerework since I like the new Zac aswell as the old one, but this would be great. Could see how it would be a balance problem though. And as a fellow zac main i say high pickrate is bad, since it usually means also a increase in banrate.

Not necessarily. Zac was never having balancing problem nor did it have ban problem before the rework, he was perfectly balanced until Riot decide to make a rework of him just for the sake of doing it. His ban only start after the rework, never before.

Yeah and this would give flexibility, heh, in playstyle, which is always a form of a buff when added.

His new Q at least is infinitely more interesting an ability than the old one, which was literally just a medium-range skillshot that slowed enemies.

His new ultimate has more tactical potential but is less instantly satisfying (which one is more fun visually is subjective, because there is something to be said for scooping up the entire enemy team and throwing them somewhere else).

Like, if you look at his old ultimate on paper, it's just a bunch of back-to-back mini Alistar Q's. Functional, but not exactly revolutionary.

I don't know, I think Zac favoring CC over damage fits thematically. He's a giant mass of ooze. Ooze is usually sticky and makes things difficult rather than outright hurting you.

A pile of goo can be either sticky OR bouncy, that's why I suggest dual mode, as they al make sense. This will be very interesting as 2 modes will have 2 different concepts, one is scatter and separate the enemy, while the other is combine and centralize the enemies.

I just want a revert on ult. The dual mode could be interesting but i'm not sure on it mechanically.

Problem is if you did this for Zac, then you'd get people nagging Riot to do it for every other rework, even if it makes little to no sense on them.

Not really, Riot did lots of revert to champs, like LB and Kogmaw, why not Zac?
