Zac got gutted, not reworked
I've played so many games of Zac and always thought he was super fun to play. I was really worried when i saw that he was going to get a partial rework, and as it turns out my worries were justified. Even after his hotfix buffs he's still literally the worst champion in the game. He has a 2% playrate and 40% winrate. The meta is very early game focused right now and it has been for months, Zac already was pretty bad for this meta. While you were working to clear camps and get levels into your e so you actually could gank people, there's a jungler like Lee or Elise not even bothering to clear their jg past level 3, and actually getting ahead in levels because of how little exp neutral camps give.
This is where the rework comes in, and makes everything worse. Zac's early clear time is hit hard. This makes you take more damage, more weak to invades, and more time until you can actually gank people. His ult, is just a straight nerfed version with nice paint on it. Old zac was rewarded with a properly placed e by knocking up the hit members, and then immediately after ulting to cause a mass disruption, while using the bonus movespeed and extra bounces to apply more damage to squishies, and position yourself better for when the ult runs out. Not only that, but it spawned blobs for each champion hit, and you could cast your w while ulting! Now what we have, is essentially a channelled version of the ult we already had, but with only one bounce. Some may point out that you can aim it now and that makes it better, it doesn't. You could already aim it before by getting a good e off behind people. If you positioned him properly, you could knock people whatever direction you want only without a second channel time. Not to mention that they took half a second off of the knock-up on his e for what reason? And before the hotfix buff they had nerfed the damage of it by 40 too.
Literally everything they touched is worse. His new q is better late, and i mean far later because you'll always be maxing this ability last.
In principle I'm fine with them diverting some of the power away from his E, because as he was before he was entirely reliant on landing it to do anything, I'm guessing that's what they intended to do but instead of diverting strength, they just kicked it into the gutter. Just revert this garbage please.
