I still don't understand all the salt toward Zoe.

I'm legit curious. It's been two months and i still see people complain about her and ban her, and i just don't get it. I've played her a few times and played against her a few times.

She's awefully easy to lane against. Her E has a relatively short range compared to other linear skillshot CC (like Xerath's E and Lux's Q). Her Q poke is very predictable and easily avoidable.

So what's all the fuss about?

People talk about her one-shot combo, but she can't one-shot for shizzle unless she's fed (how is she supposed to get fed when she can't kill you in the first place) or it's late in the game and she has a few items.

Is her combo strong enough to one-shot you? The i ask again, how? There are so many ways to counter her.

You're a mage?

You're an AD champ?

You're a tank? You shouldn't have trouble surviving in the first place.

She can only realistically hit you with a bubble from accross a wall while you are roaming or later in the game with an extended E. But this isn't even a new concept in LoL, many champions can surprise you from accross a wall already, like not counting all others that can CC you from range.

So why are people still complaining about her even though her E is easily counterable??
