Calling All Zoe Players!

As someone who absolutely loves playing Zoe I find that with the changes to her [Q] Zoe has become less satisfying and less fulfilling.

Scaling with Q Rank is a beautiful way to balance her. (because even I knew she was a bit tough on the damage side) but scaling it with level too? Riot please revert it scaling with level.. ;~;

Hell I'd even accept nerfing the max damage if it meant her Q didn't scale with level. (but loved it scaling with rank).

And for those that tell me to 'get good' or 'she was too broken' to that I say. You rite. But It's really making me like Zoe less and less, and I wanted to main her. :/

The level scaling is a good thing. As a scaling champion, the majority of Zoe's damage isn't tied up in base damage, but in scalings. The alternative would be to have it all be in AP scalings, which would mean if you do poorly, you're useless. Having a chunk of the damage be tied to level rewards you for playing safe and farming until your big powerspike, and makes her damage more consistent from game to game.

Part of playing Zoe is understanding that your early game is weak. You can chunk people who don't respect you, but she really doesn't have the one-shot snipe potential until late in the game. You need to play safe and harass early to actually get fed enough to do Zoe things. If that doesn't appeal to you, try Ahri or Lux. All three champions are looking to combo off their stun, but Ahri and Lux get their big spikes earlier.
