Zac's revert is missing an important feature

So old Zac's R, granted a blob on each bounce, for each enemy hit as per his passive. So 5 blobs per bounce if her hits all 5, for a total of 20 in the rare case he hits all 5, 4 times. With the current iteration he is only getting blobs for the first 2 bounces.

They offer no blobs in practice tool so couldn't test there
Hit 3 bots, got 3 blobs so partially working
Hit 2 bots, twice for 4 blobs but no blobs for the extra bounces
Missed first bounce, got a second bounce for 1 blob (1 enemy), no blobs for landing bounces 3 and 4.

GIMME MAH BLOBS!

Apparently none of his skills are on point with what he was like before the rework (ignoring his Q, which isn't going to be reverted)

Basically, his W and E are still nerfed from the rework, and now his R isn't going to be fully reverted. The whole situation is just a glorified Zac nerf that took over two years.

I just want old Zac back, he never needed a rework in the first place.

I feel like the revert was a bit rushed, to be honest. Riot probably should have given it another PBE cycle.

Also, nice summoner name. Looks like I'm not the only singularity around here...

Being a hardcore Zac player, I think that problems like this are killing him, every person I see in the game talks about how strong he is now that he is reverted, but from my testing (and my opinion) I think this just doesn't change anything - worst case scenario it's just a nerf. The reason I say this is because he now has to deal with way more problems with his reverted ult such as knock ups - something you never needed to deal with when using the reworked ult. It also pains me that the first R bounce doesn't move, it's so jarring just seeing him stand completely still for the first bounce.

A thing I really miss about the old ult already is the fact that it was an excellent escape, it had the utility of the instant bop, the usefulness of having another ability that can get you over walls and the fact that you can use it to negate huge cc that you know is coming by tapping his ult as soon as it hits (difficult to pull off at times but made me feel like I was a LCS pro).

His w damage nerf didnt help him at all. Since he builds full tank, he doesnt need base %health removed from his already struggling W.

You need 200 AP to MATCH previous Zac W damage at level 1. That is a huge investment and will take more than 20 minutes to even get that amount of AP. He needs early clears.
