Why are you all complaining about new Zac?

I don't know what all of you have been smoking, but in my eyes, new Zac is a huge buff over the old Zac.

His Q is a HUGE cc ability, at levels 3-5, if he counter ganks the enemy jungle, and he lands that double Q, it's a double kill.

Mid game, if he lands those two Qs on valuable targets, and brings them back to you, it's GG, he just won the game for you.

I mean, let's be honest, you guys are only complaining about Zac because Sejuani is making the rounds as the new thing to pick apart that's too OP.

I don't think Zac is as bad as many of the posts make him out to be, but with that having been said, there is no way in Hell I would call it a "buff".

He definitely doesn't feel as rewarding or satisfying to play as he did before.

Honest question: Was anyone really asking for a Zac rework? What was reallywrong with him before?

Of all the tanks for which Riot chose to rework, why was Zac one of them and not Malphite? Don't get me wrong, I love Malphite as he is personally, but if you're going to update something why not a champ that has been largely untouched for 6 years?

Zac lost over 60% of his ultimate damage, lost healing on his Q (longer CD) and healing on his ultimate (1 blob instead of 4). For that, he got a gimmicky ultimate and a stretching strike update (which can be strong once it gets some tweaks). If you played old Zac enough, you would know that the new Zac is a shell of his former self.

Exactly. The changes do him actually made him quite a bit worse. His R range doesn't let him do nearly as much. He lost even more damage if you count the w damage he could do with the blobs dropped.

Zac rework is a JOKE. You can't do anything; inane impractical Q and R, rest of his kit is dragged down into obsolescence. Did they even test out this travesty in applied gameplay or just fold their arms and say AAAYYYYYYYYYYYY wacky Zac thematic clarity!!!

Worst champ in the game now.

He's like the most busted jungler in the game, what?

You're replying to a month old thread when nobody knew how to play his new iteration.

Theyre bad and havent learned to play him yet. Seriously his ult autowins any fight. Like wtf? Basically a AOE blitz grab that is impossible to miss

You have to hold his new ult 1s before you can grab people. This is problematic in ganks because enemies with brain cells will not get near you. His new ult is absolute garbage for ganking now, and is solely for teamfights where enemies might not pay attention to you specifically, giving you the opportunity to ult them.

Why complaining? Check zac's win rate this week. Nothing needs to explain.

The old zac was better why change him.... why... same with Taric, the old Tariq was better... he was changed used briefly more now he's never used at least previously he was used sometimes. Zac was my fav champ and I honestly feel he has been totally ruined and changed for no reason
