Stop calling Zoe a burst mage

Dope Solo··3 votes·351 views

Burst mages have actual cooldowns on their nukes and usually require multi-button combos to get lethal damage out. Zoe is just plain bullshit.

They literally said in her spotlight shes like an artillery assassin

She can be classified as a Mage/Assassin because of her pick power and raw damage output with her Q Alone

If you dying to Zoe when she is exclusively using Q you have a problem. If your dying to Zoe when shes EQRQAuto then that's a multi button combo.

Edit. What am I wrong?

When her Q does more than half my hp if she just has a lost chapter and is being spammed a million times a minute than yeah I have a problem champion in the game that needs nerfing.

That sounds exaggerated If your not hopping on the band wagon then I'm kinda shocked your so upset after dealing with a 1-8-1 zoe recently Or go back a week and look at that op 7/7/8 zoe.

I mean, it's true, but it doesn't make her not a burst mage. Her Q just needs major cooldown nerfs and some of that power shifted to her W sparks.

Even twice the cooldown at all ranks seems a bit short with CDR, but might be a good starting point

Maybe 7.5 / 7.25 / 7 / 6.75 / 6.5 -> 15 / 14.75 / 14.5 / 14.25 / 14 s

And increasing W sparks damage 23.3 / 38.3 / 53.3 / 68.3 / 83.3 (+ 13.3% AP) -> 30 / 45 / 60 / 85 / 100 (+25% AP)

Or having each successive W hit do more damage, so that ramp up is what gives the delay to that part of her spell rotation's burst.
