I don't like proposed changes to zac (summer update)

new zac ult flattens him out like a pancake, immune to crowd control, and then he bounces off carrying caught champions a distance.

First off, I'm assuming my hit-box remains the same, but I am also completely immobile for about half a second before the rebounce, so hurray any scenario when you are behind or otherwise squishy.

Secondly, on low latency the only people I am going to catch are the tanks, which want to be carried into my team. I dislike my ultimate having such an unfavorable outplay, which I have very little control over. What do I do if I catch a tank, bounce them further into the enemy team? Then they peel and I die because I'm isolated.

Third, zac relies on his mobility during his ult to avoid being focused, to pick up blobs and proc e, and to split push / as an escape tool. He is now basically another amumu, a good in, no out. In fact he has less out that amumu now.

Finally, I play zac support in plat 1 and I leverage his disruption to build dmg early. His ult is effective when utilized with liandry's torment as it proc's repeatedly, and his mobility allows him to chase, pick up blobs, and repeatedly proc e for an extended burn. Now that is completely unviable.

Thanks.

he was fine as he is, other champs could've used the resources

This is all relative... What if you get an ult where you gift all the squishies right into your team?

That's the whole point of it, so it maximises player agency

Adapt or Die

The game adapts, players do the same or die (leave the game)

I personally agree, I've been a main top Zac for the longest time, I had played him Top, Mid, and even Support as well. After playing him for a while, the one thing I would say is that he's Ult is not as effective at all and it can be rather difficult when using it and trying to escape at the same time. I've gave the new Zac a chance, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Please bring back the old Zac. Zac
