I just don't enjoy Zoe from any perspective of the game

While I understand how playing as her could be fun for some, I hate her "1-trick wonder" style kit. Her cheese kit. It's just the same 2 combos on a 5 second cooldown in the late game and that's just not fun for me.

Now playing against her, I have no idea how anyone can have fun with that. I feel like I'm walking on tiptoes every time she appears on my screen, or even in the area on the minimap. Knowing a random fast-ass aoe projectile can come through a wall from the fog of war at any moment, spelling a guaranteed death, is not fun to me. Knowing that if I get hit by either of her long ass skillshots, it's essentially a guarenteed 50%+ reduction to my health...that's just not fun. It's stressful and it doesn't feel like I have any control when I'm against her.

Like, her playstyle is straight out of a Kshaway video. I can see the buzzfeed'd title now: "CRAZY 1-shot cross-map FULL AP ZOE!!! Must See!!"

I do not enjoy Zoe.

People can disagree, but I just wanted to get my opinion out there after playing in a game where she somehow made it through ban phase.

While we're on the topic, I find that a lot of CertainlyT's champions follows the motto "really fun to play as for few, very cancerous to play against for all" I'm not sure if that should be the type of champion design any game should go for, but I can always make a post about that another time.

What are your guys' thoughts on the champion? Tips and tricks to make the annoying preteen slightly more bearable?

She reminds me of zilean. I throw a bomb 2 times and get a stun then I run away really fast and you have no hp left. He is very 1D and thats fun for me but I also play viktor who is a more thoughtful.

With all the new champs riot releases. Each seem to have some weird complicated kit that most players dont care to read or figure out and would rather play a straight forward champ that can do fine. Annie/zoe/zilean/ect...

Playing against her is stressful but so is fizz or pantheon. Doesnt mean we should nerf them...

Ya, I was very careful to leave any mention of balance out of my post. I just wanted to stress how I viewed her as an extremely poor champion from an enjoyment perspective.

I would actually view her more stressful than Fizz or Pantheon because at least with Fizz he's only really rough in poor matchups and Pantheon you can hope to outscale. idk, I just really hate Zoe as a champion in itself.

They really need to make any form of cleanse (i include Morg E) applied to the drowsy remove the second part of the CC. I mean god its a pretty significant slow, on top of a long ass sleep that does true damage
