"Expect 8.4 leaves her quite weak. Would rather risk overnerfing and fix after at this point though." quoted from RiotMeddler's twitter. Zoe's one-shot potential is now gone. removing 50% of the base damage and the ap ratio is halved. The fact that you Gave her Nerfs to both of her key abilities without even play testing it on PBE is extremely stupid. Her w damage got buffed, but Zoe is a champion that wants to do damage from afar and w's range is way to small. if you try to utilize the w damage in team fights you're extremely vulnerable since Zoe got 0 mobility.

I almost never agree to gutting a champion. Like seriously, you can stalk my boards profile and I'm pretty sure I've always argued against gutting a champion...but I won't do that with Zoe.

Zoe is a problem child down to her very core design. She should've never been released, and so I will take the next best thing: She should never be played.

How do you know they did not play test her on the pbe? Sure her one shot potential is gone, but she can just try again in 3 seconds. Saying she has 0 mobility isn't relatively accurate since I've watched a Zoe flash 5 times in the span of as many seconds. Plus her ult is definitely a form of mobility. It let's you dodge skill shots. It's not helpful if a melee is on you since you go right back, but there's a lot you can do with it.

Plus what's the point of this thread? They said they'll buff her if she's way too weak. It's not like Riot didn't specifically state they will correct this after they remove the problematic parts of the kit.

Pointless pole OP, most ppl who didnt play her is going to be biased and a majority of the playerbase do not play her.

In order of priority of people i think have Valueable opinions:

Highest(Rarest): People who do not play her but do not like seeing champions gutted/removed from the game High: People who played her and admit there are problems in her kit. Normal: People who play her but are neutral on the subject. Low: People who don't play her and want her gutted. (while mostly exaggerations you can at least somewhat gather what they feel is frustrating but it can get kinda hard with all the hyperboling which makes their opinion less helpful) Ignored: People who think it is okay for her to be a dumpstered champion or removed from the game. Its never good for any champion to perform teribly even if you hate them just like it is never good for any champion to perform too well regardless of it you love them or not. If you are not entering the conversation with the basic principle then you have no business commenting on it in the first place.

People who couldn't avoid her Q were Bad anyways, its a skill shot, they should have just slowed its missile speed or something, not removed its damage. Her Kit is supposed to be land E, then if you got caught up in that trap, Q was supposed to HURT, or if your bad and can't dodge a Q.
