You did it to 
and now 
.
Making champions stiff and uncomfortable to play is not how you should be approaching nerfs Riot.
All needed was her numbers nerfed because she is overtuned. Changing how fluid her kit was doesnt do anything
Community (season 3): "Kayle is too good, please nerf!" Riot: "Ok!!" nerfs her AD by 5 Kayle remains the #1 pick of the meta
Yeah, Riot really doesn't know how to nerf sometimes, they're far too timid. If a champion is strong go all out with the nerfs and then do some hotfix buffs if they're too weak in certain areas.
If the kit is too fluid that it lacks counterplay, it makes sense to nerf it that way. If the kit is balanced in how fluid it is but the numbers seem to be too high, then nerfing it that way is wrong. I honestly don't play zoe and I don't know how balanced her kit is on her ultimate right now but that's how the balancing should go I think.
I find it a little funny how riot nerfed akali's q to make it not proc off her e yet they added a fluid part to her w, and now she's broken top lane :P. That's just a side note, but nerfing a champion's speed of doing the combo and adding counterplay to it is not an issue, in fact it's good to do at times, it's just when riot makes it too clunky that it becomes a little of an issue.
The same thing happened to Graves with his E>Auto>Ult thing. Or however his combo worked before it got nerfed.
Note this is not a complaint, I hated playing against that crap.
The graves E script thing was fixed long ago, along with the Ashe/Azir exploits and such.
That's what I have been saying! She is just overtuned (on purpose). All she needed was longer cd's and higher mana cost for her combo.
