Zoe gets past design and tesing phases

And apparently Riot didnt deem her 'unhealthy' or 'frustrating to play against'. Meanwhile a vocal minority of crybabies/whiners start making a fuss and Riot utterly destroys a fun and unique champion.

Pretty pathetic and a bad precedent if you ask me. Cry and complain enough and balance be damned I guess, Riot will just give in a make changes.

Here's an idea, how about instead of nerfing every aspect of a champions kit to appease whiners you make a video showing people how to play against and explaining the champions mechanics, counters and weaknesses considering 90% of the complaints are from ignorant and utterly awful players that watched a video on Reddit?

Here's another idea, how about you tell your LCS casters to stop starting these circlejerks to begin with considering they were going off greatly exaggerating about how shes OP in her first pro play matches when she wasnt even doing anything special or having much of an impact at all. Casters shouldnt be influencing players balance perceptions.

She was a case like Azir or Kalista. Underwhelming in the hands of the average player, absolutely dominating in the hands of someone who mastered her.

Yes, casters shouldn't make comments stating how OP a champion is and change people's perception of it. However, they were actually right when it came to Zoe.

She was dominating high elo and pro play. There is a reason why she was banned so often there and it surely wasn't because they are "whiny crybabies".

You enjoyed playing her, I understand that. I felt the same about Camille. Never thought she was a balancing problem when they released her and had alot of fun playing her. But objectively, she was too strong in experienced hands and needed tuning down.

Sorry, but your "fun champion" deserved heavy adjustment.

I totally understand her getting nerfed. She did do too much for what is supposed to be a tough champion to master. I think the biggest problem was her 100-0 enemy laners early game with her combo and how often her stun was up.

She's meant to be a high crowd control and high damage champion.

She needs her AOE back against minions. Not against champs because it's supposed to be a skillshot so it should only really effect the champion hit.

She needs more damage for getting her E-Q-R-Q combo right. In return they should put longer cool downs on her E and R so that her enemy has a better chance to harass her if she misses them.
