But with the added counterplay of a window where you can flash/dash/cleanse to safety (or just kill/cc zoe!). Also her ult is a free skillshot like zhonyas because the return portal basically is a sign saying “AIM HERE!”

Just dodge the spear.

You forgot the rediculous AP ratio that they will have to nerf in 2 patches once skin sales decline

Its just the kind of champion that is either trash or broken as hell. Same as Yasuo. I really sound like an asshole, but this person should never make or be a part of a team that makes another champ ever again unless for fucking once he agrees to have some limits to what his champion can do. How did he think they will ever balance an AP poke champion that only has 1 damaging ability ??

But without 2 different set of skills, barely any meaningful mobility and a W that only works 1/3 of the time.

Yep, and xerath is just an AoE nidalee right?

Toxic thing about old Nida was her human form with the 1 shotting spears from out of nowhere and the biggest heal in the game. At least Zoe doesn't have a heal I will give her that, but her CC is much more problematic because its sooooo easy to land and even if she doesn't 1 shot you her team will chain CC you and you are fucked, its quite literally an Ashe ulti on a basic low cooldown ability...

Her CC is short ranged and is blocked by minions, hitting it over a wall is tricky. The problem with nid was her strong poke combined with her heal, vision, mobility and burst all ontop of a fire and forget ability that you could spam. Zoe needs to stay in range for her Q to be effective, she needs to aim it backwards and throw it forward making it much more telegraphed.

There's a difference between having a long range nuke tacked onto an already good kit, to having your kit revolved around said nuke.

Zoe can be frustarating to play against, that's a matter of prefrance, but it doesnt make her OP.

Actually I have been 1 shot more by Zoe from fog of war with her hitting her CC and then ulting in to absolutely 1 shot me, regardless of the stage of the game and her items, in these 2 days than I got 1 shot the same way by old Nidalee in like a 6 month period. This champion is going to be an extremely big problem and its obvious as fuck imo.
