RIP Zoe.
Meddler's update to Zoe nerfs:
**P ratio to 0.325 was 0.25 Q damage 45-105+0.2 was 45-165+0.4 W AP ratio to 0.6 was 0.4 W MS 30-70% was 10-70% +34 base HP and +2 base AD ** That's in addition to:
Paddle Star (Q) Paddle Star no longer applies More Sparkles' damage to enemies past the first hit.
Spell Thief (W) **Minions can no longer drop Teleport. Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E) [Removed Effect] No longer notes "When an enemy champion falls asleep, Sleepy Trouble Bubble's cooldown is reduced by 10/15/20/25/30%." "Removing Drowsy now prevents the affected target from asleep." "This includes effects such as Cleanse, Mikeal's Crucible, or Quicksilver Sash, as well as champion CC removals such as Alistar ult. ** In other words, in addition to extreme nerfs to Zoe's E (where she no longer has an option for a low cooldown spam)
They're nerfing her Q to a point where it can no longer even take 1/5 your health in exchange for more auto attack scaling, buffing W (which is primarily an auto attack range skill).
She's basically becoming a mixture of
's auto attack features and passives with a slightly less deadly Lux ult/ahri Q.
My guess is.... she will be clear down to 35% win, and everyone and their mother already knows how to counter her in the new form because the champs she's mirroring are already common picks, and the same tactics will work.
If she misses E, she's done. If tries to use R to kill, she's done. If she tries to Q, she's likely to get some HP off you still, but she's very likely done, as long as you don't feed her summoner's spells.
They're basically making it so people prioritize Q and W over E. E will be left level 1 now, while W will be leveled for that sweet move speed bonus and damage.
Hell. I might as well build her tank, and just run around grabbing summoners now, and let Transcendence give me AP to close quarters melee you to death.
She's no longer an Artllery champ. She's just like every other mage.
I'm glad I didn't buy Hacker skin. I knew the nerfs were coming, and I'm sure some will be adjusted. But she's going to be perpetually tweaked to overkill like this, so what's the point of playing her? I'll just completely 1v1 her with Nami some more, especially now that she can't Bubble me twice in one fight. I can bubble HER twice though......

, which results in a near 60% drop in her damage, I heal out of it, and then just continue the march of fighting her. I think what people generally lack vs Zoe isn't the ability to survive; it's the ability to itemize correctly.
? or who rushes
?
outlane Zoe. Resist nukes her damage hard until real late game.
