So why does Zoe have such insane damage on her Q?

Was looking at the tooltips and was honestly kind of disgusted. At level one rank one, she can do 75-92 damage at "point blank" (minimum time it takes her to recast Q) with zero AP; at level 18 and rank 5 of the skill, it's damage is now 440-580 again with zero AP and from "point blank". Assuming she gets max range bonus those numbers are now 104- 121 damage at level one rank one with zero AP, the number caps out at 590-730 damage again with zero AP. Let us not forget that this ability also is an AOE, so it's not like you are nuking a single target if you hit the shot, you are hitting everything in a small area (not sure what the exact number is on that AOE). Those numbers are around what i would expect from a full rotation with any other champion.

Now if we assuming that Zoe is building some AP, as one would expect from the champion, please note that the ability also has a 90-115% AP ratio. 65% from the ability itself plus 25% per trigger of her passive. Let's say Zoe has 200 AP, so that's a bonus 180-230 damage at point blank, and 245-290 at max range. So at rank 18 with just 200 AP, Zoe is doing a minimum of 620 damage with a cap of 1025 damage that hits everything in an AOE.

Quick side note, assuming a full item build like say , , , , , which is 621 AP; Zoe's numbers would look something like 999 damage at point blank and 1645 at max range.

I also have this sinking feeling that sleepy trouble bubble's bonus damage is not actually capped at 60 (+40% ap ratio) to 220 (+40% ap ratio). Also can someone please tell me how the range on her Q recasts works? The tooltip says it has a 800 range and can be recast, i would assume this means that it has a max range of 1600 (cast forward then recast at max range for another 800 units), but i'll be damned if Zoe doesn't usually cast it behind her, ult forward and get like 3K range off the recast. Would also like someone to look at the 150% damage based on distance traveled, i feel like this is huge lie and that number is if you get hit at 800 range BUT the percentage is uncapped so those max range recasts are doing like 250-300% damage.
