Good counters to Zoe?

Sirsir··5 votes·5,231 views

I want to play zoe, but i also want a response if she gets picked out from under me. Thoughts?

And please don't say 'Shes just gonna get banned myeh.' I KNOW that, but theres nothing i can do. Countering her when she gets stolen IS something i can do

Akali should stomp her pretty hard. I'm pretty sure you can w before you fall asleep to make it a guessing game for Zoe to hit you and you have tons of mobility to make hitting you any other time a nightmare.

Theres an animation when they fall asleep tho. You can see it in the fog of war. Which is kinda busted :\

I suppose its possible you can't see it in proper stealth but it seems unlikely. That said it would still keep her from using passive and sheen on you, maybe get her to blow it on a minon.

best counter is ban

Thinking that Yasuo would also be a good pick. Should be able to block her combo if she doesn't land the sleepy bubble on you.

Just fall asleep standing in windwall.

Even if you do get hit by the bubble, you have about a second to throw out windwall before you fall asleep.

Play better? CC will probably wreck her shit since you know where her ult will put her on return. If your sums and actives help her, then someone who is less reliant or who takes summoners that are less useful to her (any top laner who takes ghost) Paddlestar is probably just a git gud and dodge it type thing, same with the bubble. I'm saying anyone who can jump on her face and sit there without using actives will work.

Thinking about Ahri or Irelia (barring the incoming rework, and just to give a non midlaner) should work well, though it's all still contextual and can see a lot of them gap closing over her bubble trap.

The ban button, regardless if someone wants to play her or not.

A good zed can outplay her very hard, with ult he can dodge Q or E and then if she ults zed can cast all this spells on the return point

Morgan's shield after she hits u with the sleep and then protects you from her Q. U can throw out her stun where she's going to land from her ulti then soil. Best counter to zoe

Actually Using the morg shield after being hit by the drowsy doesnt stop u from sleeping.. and i think this is retarded cause thats what the shield does, Blocks CC while its on a target.. not entirely sure if it was intended this way..

its not meant to stop the sleep u will still sleep but it will stop her q from hitting so hard. it is stupid that it docent negate the sleep but it at least negates the damage amplification from it

Malzahar, Aniva. Mages who can shove her in work well because they deny her kill pressure, which is her only pro in lane phase as her wave clear is atrocious compared to these two.

Alternatively, you could play Katarina or Fizz, and hope to shut her down early.. she won't have the proper tools to deal with you then.

Syndra's good against her, as is leblanc (skill matchup really)... i wouldn't say zoe herself really counters any of the mages. She has windows of being able to outplay them.. That being said, any champion that has a quick dash/high mobility and burst will dumpster her. She can still play around them tho if she's good enough, lol that's why i say most of her matchups are skill matchups. Syndra, Azir, Xerath, Zed, Diana (diana's really good) Malzahar is annoying just cuz of his push power and that goddamn shield.

Assassins are good against her, especially the super mobile ones. She can still outplay them though, but they kind of counter her. Mages on the other hand all lose to her really easily, maybe Malz could do something but with his recent nerf I think she absolutely obliterates every mage easily and with little to no counterplay unless you fuck up of course.

Zed, you can dodge her e and all in her if she e. Thens its ez kill. After you get duskblade,walk up, dodge e with r and eq to kill her.

  • Zoe Ults = Target her return spot.
  • Zoe hits her Sleep = Shield your self. (incoming "Paddle Star")

These are champs I think are strong against her, just my opinion though.

I mean, I'd list off all kinds of champs that would just destroy her, but then you'd say she has no counterplay or something like that. I'd also link my guide I wrote up a while ago, and you'd know that literally any champ works, but, again, she's "OP", so you know.
