@Riot - PLEASE recosider AT LEAST the nerf to zoe's Q!
I understand as well as anyone that there is a tremendous amount of players demanding Zoe nerfs. but if EVERYTHING currently on the PBE goes threw she will be clunky, high risk/low reward, and outclassed by EVERY other long distance mage and assassin.
Most of what you've done to her so far has been justified and fair, The W nerfs were more then called for and while I think the testing E nerf is just a little too much?; I understand where your coming from.
That Q nerf taking away her second passive proc though? That modification will simultaneously make her clunky and binary. You will force her to be even more reliant on her single combo then she is now! Zoe is meant to be a high skill champ who rewards good play making from both herself and her opponents. But if you nerf her in a way that removes a chunk of her versatility? well, now all those complaints about her being Nid 2.0, just a walking Q BOT, will now be true!
Most of the Zoe hate threads are generic crying of "ZOE OP" "DELETE ZOE" "SHE REWARDS BAD PLAY!" And I like to think that you all are smarter then to base your balance decisions around such non-specific dribble. At the same time, Every other champion I've ever truly taken a liking too has been nerfed into oblivion under similar circumstances. Pre - rework
, post re-work
, and
... I really don't want it to happen again!
Please consider suspending it for this patch at least?; And see how she fairs when the rest of the nerfs go threw.
Thank you for your time.
