Zoe rage.

Horse Grenades··2 votes·304 views

Nothing feels more fair that at level 4 Zoe getting a 3rd summoner spell and flash, exhaust, igniting you.

Honestly, I need someone at Riot to explain to me why they thought giving some one RNG spells that other summoners have on a 3-5 minute CD was fair and balanced.

Why don't you play her and get utterly murdered by any other burst mage be4 complaining. Her base stats aren't all that high and if she doesn't kill you and you jump on her, she's dead.

Yes, if you lose an ability slot.

Summoner spells are much more valuable than abilities.

Just because I have 3 bills of currency and you have 3 bills of currency doesn’t mean we have the same amount of money. If the currencies are of different value. Also I would argue that her passive is a 3rd damage ability

Summoner spells that are lying on the ground where the enemy champion knows Zoe will try to pick them up and can punish her for it. Summoner spells that don't stay on her W for the whole game.

Once she has them they are STILL SUMMONER SPELLS.. If you don’t think her picking up a free tp, ignite, exhaust at level 4 is problematic then there is nothing to talk about. If I punish her for it she pots up and the I lose any trade after that because she has exhaust. “Don’t get exhausted” isn’t counter play.

Especially in this snowball game with increased speed her having 3 summoners at level 4 can be the end of your lane and possibly game.

I'll agree that free TP is kinda broken, but ignite and exhaust hmm... Ahri's W on its own does more damage than an ignite, and in order to use these sums she has to get close to her opponent. Getting too close to any enemy champion as Zoe = death.

This is where I disagree. Her passive makes it near impossible for her to win trades. She has 2 abilities but her passive does crazy dmg. She doesn't even have to land an ability to access her passive.

If only she had to use that summoner spell within the next 30 seconds and you could clearly see which active is on her w when she has it... Maybe if you saw which minions she had to kill to get an active... Or you could see where the active dropped and what it is before she even picked it up... Wait... all of these things exist.

Knowing she has a 3rd summoner spell isn't counterplay to her having a 3rd summoner spell

She loses an ability spot to get that though. If she's level 4 and you're level 4 you'll have two summoner spells and 3 abilities she will have 3 summoner spells and 2 abilities.

This copy paste from another spot. I understand what you’re saying but

TBH I would love for Riot to explain why they thought any part of Zoe was a good idea. I was taking a break from League when she was announced, and when I saw the gameplay videos I was absolutely disgusted that anything like her was allowed in the game to begin with. Her damage is one thing, but all of her abilities are just toxic to the game. Luckily she's permabanned, so I rarely have to actually put up with her.

Exactly, but if you say something on the boards that isn’t the Reddit circle jerk of the week you get this sweet downvotes
