Why nerfing Zac won't work

I see a lot of people crying for nerfs on Zac. For context, I played a lot of zac prior to his update and now I don't really enjoy him. So I have some idea of what I am talking about.

See the problem with Zac is not his numbers or his tankiness.

It's his Q and R. The basic design of these two abilities mixed with his E create a toxic gameplay pattern where even mistakes can easily be forgiven. If we nerf his numbers, we'll start making him trash, but even then, the basic design behind these two abilities are partially unbalancable. His kit used to be fine in design, but now, now I believe Zac will never be in a balance state that keeps the best parts of his kit in one piece.

Dude, i get one thing from RIOT during this Zac rework fiesta - they don't care about players opinion unless it`s big "skinseller" champ.

His new kit is the reason of all problems. Give me my pre-7.9 bubble back :(

That R. How do you expect a team group and fight together when you get punished for doing that? They were right to rework Zac, but this was a bit much.

It's fine for an ult to have big impact, but it shouldn't one that can completely change the natural flow of the game, and Zac's does that simply by threatening the other team before its actual use.

My opinion on how to fairly nerf it, and it's only my opinion: It should only be able to grab one player, not the whole bloody team.
