Tbh, he's decent. He has high damage, lots of AOE CC and a lot of engage potential. Not to forget his sustain in the jinglejangle

EVERYTHING! I climbed from Silver 1 to Diamond 2 on the back of solo lane zac. If you play him right, the natural sustain from his passive can easily heal 20-50% of your health during a teamfight and that number is much higher during the laning phase. His damage is all AOE and has a built in % damage ability on short cd that gets shorter as you pick up blobs. Once you get Liandry's Torment, you can take backline champions from 100-0 with ignite. If you land a perfect elastic slingshot into the enemy backline, you can win a game off of it. Also, Zac's Elastic Slingshot is the longest ranged gap closer that is not an ultimate (1800 range at max level).

I am reading your guide and am wondering if scaling hp might be better than the flat armor. Wouldn't the scaling hp help more late game, and you'll already have plenty of armor by the late game as you mentioned in your reasoning for the flat armor runes.

Is the slight benefit during laning phase really that huge? Genuine question I am considering getting into Zac and appreciate the guide you've posted.

The main reason I go armor instead of scaling hp is because it can bait people into thinking they can kill you. If they see you only have 300 health left, they may go in, not realizing the armor gives you more relative health. I get many kills this way. That said, both options are strong and I have seen many builds and runes/masteries work. I tend to go thunderlords and ignite while many zacs go graps and teleport. Its nice that people can play the same champ multiple ways and succeed!

My first zac game I went 16/6/13 with an S+ rating maybe there is something to him afterall ^.^. You are right too they get baited hard, the master yi tried to kill me in the middle of a minion wave and ended up dying to the minions before he could kill me in my passive hehe

I have gotten so many kills thanks to that passive, its crazy. I need to do a compilation video or something from all the games i've recorded. Zac is fun, Zac is life. He will carry you to diamond if you let him!

extremely high cc. If you build tank with a bit of AP ( item 3151 and item 3116 ) he does tons of damage with tons of cc, which is how I like to build him.

Longest engage in the game ( Shen you can't do it by yourself)

Early game is very strong for a ganker or a fighter for that matter

surprising damage from Q

sustain for days, (if blobs cooperate)

large disruptor (GREAT PEEL)

AOE

item 3151 damage for days (Q procs slow) item 3116 heightens it

can build tanky or ap bruiser

W is % hp, but is gated so well by CD and blobs that not unbalanced or overpowered.

Knockups

and passive that CAN but not always save your life. TP trick :)

Sadly the only con i have to the big guy is his one combo rotation is long, his q CD is standard, his w is the only spammable if you can upkeep it. and e is long for obvious reasons. So if you jump in with E W R W Q your kinda punching and w'ing things until something comes up for more disruption.
