It's been many patches and i still cant fathom why zoe was created.

Her kit just screams "You cant play around me" I mean sure her escapes are very little. But nimbus cloak actually makes her a lot more mobile. \I think i wouldnt care so much, if her q wasnt doing more damage than a full sphered syndra ult, one being 3 second cd the other being a 60+ sec cd. Not to mention the weird cleanse interaction with her e. Seriously. why was she even made except to piss people off.

Gonna get downvoted anyways but theres a reason she has a very high pick/ban rate

You just gotta burst her before she bursts you. Not that hard to do. Especially with a assassin.

Reach level 30 and maybe you'll learn enough about the game to counter her then.

It's been many patches and I still can't fathom why people complain about Zoe.

Imagine her as an assassin that actually needs to land a REAL skillshot to get a kill. That should help you out against Zoe.

She's not an assassin though and its on a low cd but ok. You make sense i guess.

She has skills hots, which are easy to avoid if you pay attention to her position. She's not hard to counter. Predict her ult. Lock her down with cc. Even at level one she's easy to play against. Just watch where she throws her paddle star and stay behind minions.

Problem with that; her cooldowns are naturally shorter than most conventional mages for her range and damage, leaving her window of vulnerability noticeably shorter. Her ultimate negates displacement effects (and momentarily makes her intangible during each teleport) and is again on a low cooldown, leaving only popups and silences reliable counters, if you can hit her; while giving her briefly more reach than her spells normally have, allowing her to outrange most champions with harder to dodge angles around minions without presenting a target to retaliate. That's still not addressing her ability to copy any summoner spell, on a shorter cooldown than any such spell has as long as she's near other champions. Her sleep bubble has a deceptively large hitbox both before impact and after becoming a trap zone, while applying a significant debuff ontop of a delayed stun.

She's hated like yasou for a particular reason, most people call it 'anti-fun to play against', but to get technical, it's the removal of agency. They have tools built-into their kits to cover their own hide if they screw up, often preventing opponents from punishing their mistakes in solo combat; as well as still having such high ratios and team potential, that they can snowball from behind as if they never failed (besides being overloaded for esports bait).
