Thoughts on Zac's last buff

darkdill··3 votes·468 views

Zac's seen a huge rise in popularity ever since his E knock-up got buffed, but I gotta question if that buff might've overdone it. Why? Because he's able to inflict a 1-second knock-up very quickly at point-blank range even if he doesn't charge his E.

I'm not opposed to the idea of Zac's E having a 1-second knock-up, but I think the duration of the knock-up should be tied to how long he charges up the jump. As in, if he does it with a quick launch at point-blank range, the knock-up should be 0.5 seconds, but if he does a full charge, it's 1 second (regardless of how far you actually travel). Kinda like Janna's Q.

Good idea or bad idea?

Zac is a high skill champion. I am happy with this buff even though I don't play him.

If he needs a nerf, that would be a good option. Right now, I don't think he's strong enough to need a nerf. He's better after his buff, but it is worth keeping in mind that he was one of the very worst champions in the game before getting it. I don't think he's risen so high that he's a problem now.

It would make a lot of sense and seem consistent with similar mechanics, so if they do nerf it something like that would probably work well. Though I think it'd be better to just wait for now and see if he actually does pan out to be too strong.

It would kind of make him inferior to other champions again.

A good thing to point out would be that Riot has said Tenacity will be affecting knock ups soon.

Keep that in mind, as that will be effecting ALOT of champions.

Zac was in such a bad place before this buff.

This change didnt put him over the top. it made him actually competitive with other strong jungler picks. He doesnt need to be nerfed.

BTW, have of the purpose of the nerf was to reduce the damage he takes clearing the jungle (where he uses the point blank E the most).
