You don't have enough time to react to Zoe's E

Idk if it's 1 second or 1.5 seconds it takes for the drowsy to take effect, but regardless when I am also slowed I don't have enough time to reposition and get a fair chance to avoid the inevitable 1k damage at level 5. I also need at least half a second to realise and react to the 2k range bubble coming from the fog. Pardon me but last time I checked getting drowsy didn't mean you would insta sleep.

you can easily reposition behind minions or use any movement abilities in 1 second.

if you got hit like 20 miles away from your minions that's your fault.

So you're telling me the only counterplay to this is simply to walk with your lane minions every 30 seconds? Or I just have to not be immobile? So many mid laners are immobile it's going to play out in Zoe's favour almost all the time. If Zoe HAS to have all her power packed into her Q then I also want a fair chance at dodging it.

Then don't get hit by it in the first place. It's still a skillshot like every other one.

And counterplay to basically everything is standing behind your minions, it's where you should be anyway in general in lane. Counterplay to almost everything is good positioning.

Even if she hits you with E she needs to fire her Q directly after that, so you can already see where she will fire it.

So if you get hit by it in a situation where you know you can't reposition yourself accordingly, then that's not lack of counterplay.

Or just dodge it in the first place, it's pretty slow and predictable.
