@Riot I sincerely want to hear your take on Zoe's kit and RNG.

I generally support Riot's ideas and look beyond the initial "OMG it's so OP and broken and unfun and toxic and-" kind of mentality, but I certainly(t) cannot wrap my heap around Zoe's design and how it made it past the testing phase.

I know that CertainlyT has a bad rep with the playerbase and blah blah but I mean, most of his designs end up being cool ideas but Zoe is basically Old Nidalee, a concept you decided to walk away from in her rework because throwing linear skillshots as your main/only source of nuke is frustrating for everybody involved, and on top of that you added RNG to her kit, an extremely potent one to that.

Whenever I'm vs a Zoe (or at least my midlaner is since I generally chill in toplane) it's the same thing, Zoe just keeps sniping for "that one bubble" while pelting the enemy with random Q's, and sure, the midlaner is trying to avoid all of them, but one of these linear skillshots WILL hit, and when it does, all Zoe does is ult towards them and hit them with the long range Q, sounds familiar? Yes, that's old Nidalee, only somehow even more infuriating and boring at the same time, you are barely interacting with the Champion. And we haven't even touched her W yet.

Her W...Okay, how did this get past a random idea someone in a meeting doodled in a napkin then laughed it off as a joke? I didn't mind the concept when I saw the reveal because I thought it was limited to Summoners/Item actives people used, but then I saw these minions carrying packages for her...And completely random. I had a friend in midlane who suddendly got firstblood and all they said was "Got a Hextech active, lol". Riot, you DO know that Crit is one of your most polarizing game mechanics because it's based on RNG, so what the hell compelled you to work RNG into a Champion's kit? I could be wrong, but I think Zoe is the first Champion to have innate RNG that doesn't involve crit.

I have no major issues with her E although sometimes it feels so cheap that it gets so much distance for travelling over walls, but whatever, and I have nothing to say about her ult itself for now.

So...Yeah, I suppose I'm going to have to tank double-damage Muramana Ezreal and begin permabanning her for now.
