Fun

On sunday the match between G2 and FNC Perkz was half healthing the chogath who had like 5k hp in 1 q+sleep perkz was hiding behind the walls and sniping anyone who comes 2000 units close w/o any counterplay. idk why ppl keep defending zoe.

Zoe had Ezreal had 1643 HP 67 MR Zoe max range Q damage - 750 + 1220 = 1970 damage before resists. she was taking 75 % of the shyvana hp with not even max range q wp riot u did good here.

Nidalee used to be able to do very similar things with her spear range/damage back in the day (before they forced her into the jungle), it was deemed unhealthy for game play to be able to one shot someone from such a long range (because there is literally no risk involved and it is not counterable other than praying they miss and they you are positioning correctly behind minions 100% of the time). So Riot systematically set about nerfing Nidalee into the ground. Now years later they have created this monstrosity, which does what old nidalee did only WAY BETTER and with fewer items.

The motivation for keeping this champion the way it is pretty clear, Riot wants people to buy Zoe so they probably won't REALLY nerf her kit for a year or so. Then they will say something like, "Our girl Zoe has been dominating the long-range contest with little counterplay for quite some time now, we feel she needs a bit of an adjustment. blah blah".

This is what they always do, they pretend like it was an accident that they left a champion as particularly overpowered in specific areas which are incredibly obvious to everyone else.
