So tell me why we nerfed Zoe.

Tell me what was soooo broken that it warranted nerfs so hard she's barely viable, and I will list 10 champs that do EXACTLY THAT but are far more broken, with much less counterplay, and zero telegraphing.

... but you can't, can you? Hm.

It's almost as if a grossly overpowered character got mained by elo-whoring bandwagon mains, who now suddenly can't get easy wins anymore and are being put back to the elo they belong. (excuse my language)

Because we enjoy seeing what it takes to make the spergs go ballistic.

She probably has the lowest cooldowns in game. That I've seen so far at least. Her E not being cleans-able and being spammed so often makes her feel awful to play against, especially when she could 100-0 champs early game.

She's nerfed, but Riot said she's getting some power back, have patience.

As long as she gets her waveclear back and a little bit more damage on her Q she'll be golden. For anyone skilled at her at least.

If you have an issues with other champs you should make threads discussing their balance rather than using it as a "well they have this thing that feels bad to play against so I want it too". I can just imagine you crossing your arms and stomping a foot along with the whining.

No, they'll ignore Zoe as long as they can get away with. They don't want her in competitive, and they need to milk that emote. And if they ever make her viable, the brats will whine, and Riot could potentially lose money.

She's nerfed, and will likely remain the worst champ in the game. Riot doesn't give a damn about balance.

And no, I'm saying we have all these champs that are BEYOND broken, but are totally ignored or even buffed because people don't complain about them and/or they make money. Best part is that Zoe was never particularly strong anywhere but competitive. Never had a 50% or higher average WR, but was gutted anyway.

It's not all about win rate. And yes, she was crazy strong. If you put the time in to learn how to play her you could spam her abilities and harass the enemy so easy to the point where you're the main target they want dead. She was crazy strong.

If Riot didn't care they wouldn't say they're looking to add some power back. I don't see why anyone would buy an emote of a champ they dislike so it's all going to be Zoe players buying it. You'll get more players buying the emote if they feel like they can still play her, so of course they're going to work on her to make her feel good.

They don't want her in competitive Zoe was never particularly strong anywhere but competitive

This are contradictory statements. Of course competitive as well as norms matter. But if they didn't want her in competitive they would have just let her keep getting banned. By taking away some power now she's not guaranteed to be banned and people can actually play her.
