Zac's Range Preview. WHY RIOT???

ProfessorTacos ··10 votes·1,530 views

Okay,so Im a zac main and i can definitely tell when somwthing is wrong with my champion. And recently (6.1 patch) an unanounced change has been made to zac. Now why on earth would riot do this. For those of you who play zac,you may know how IMMENSILEY USEFUL it is to be able to see your e's range before ganking right. You know you calculate depending on how many points you have in your abilty. And that ability to gank long range to for example avoid being spotted in a warded bush,is what makes zac...well zac. And know riot has gone and changed this. Theg made it so that you can no longer see the range of zac's e BEFORE casting. YOU HAVE TO CAST E FIRST TO SEE MAX RANGE,which may lead to miscalculations and lose a gank thanks to cooldown on e and fu"@ a whole lane up. Now I asl myself why on EARTH would riot do this and not announce it. I know not. So if anyone else here plays zac and is extremely bothered by this pleas help me make this be noticed. Zac is now basically uselles early game because there is no way of knowing if my 18 sdcond cooldown ability will make me reacha target before casting. This is ridiculous. You really make dumb mistakes. Please undo this.

Yeah, I noticed this too, and I didn't read it in any patch notes.

Are you saying that you cant see the E indicator?

The max range of the E was at one point always indicated upon hovering over the E key, but now when you hover the minimum range is displayed. And upon hitting the key it expands to the maximum range. Just makes it difficult to estimate your engage properly.

I've noticed this, but I haven't thought much of it. It's an annoying change and one that should have been in the patch notes, but not one that I feel like losing my head over.

Holy crap yes, Zac is easily my most played/favorite champ and when i noticed this i was pretty upset. Like you said it totally fucks with knowing how far the e can really go considering the range greatly increases after each skill point. His e indicator was perfect before, I see no reason to change it. For me all it did was add more annoyance and confusion to my fav green blob

Absolutely with you guys. I think my over all clear speed has gone down as a result of this just because every once in a while i attempt to E to the next camp and fall just barely short. I don't even understand the reasoning behind this change, what could they possibly been thinking??

As a Zac main as well, this change makes it a little more difficult for experienced Zac players to land their Elastic Slingshot, but for new Zac players, Zac will be even more difficult to learn and become even more unpopular than he already is. Poor Zac...
