Hi my name is Admiral and I'm a Thresh main. Today I'm making a post about Zoe. Zoe is the most annoying piece of garbage I've ever played against. She does 1/3rd of my adc's hp level 2 with one skillshot (and having only a spellthiefs). Does that make sense to you? It sure as hell doesn't make sense to me.
Can't wait til the hotfix comes out nerfing the retarded sleep aoe and burst!!!!
Don't nerf Zoe, Upvote if you Agree...?
Rofl. I like your description of her, but only because she doesn't like Lux. I can't say if she needs to be nerfed or not, because I'm not sure, so I'll just not vote either way.
There's a pretty simple solution to fighting Zoe. Buy some boots and get moving. You're not going to charge straight in and stomp on Zoe like Thresh does with most champions. It's true she doesn't have an escape, so it can be tempting to just run in and try to hook her to death, but if you approach her head-on she'll light you up like a Visigoth funeral pyre.
You need to sidestep, watch your placement, and look for her to make a mistake. It's the way you deal with any big puncher. You don't charge headlong into Conor McGregor's range. You want any chance of winning, you dodge those punches and look for an opening to land a good shot of your own. Likewise, if Zoe can rip off a third of your ADC's health, tell your ADC to dodge first and go in hard only after Zoe has missed her E.
Eventually, Zoe will make a mistake. She has a high skill cap. In particular, look for her to ult and throw your hook at the first portal. Catch her when she goes back and burst the hell out of her. That should put her in her place a couple times and make her think before she tries to slaughter your ADC again.
Hate to burst your bubble (Pun Intended) But they actually hotfixed her Q and buffed the damage by 5 per rank as of 11/22.
Courtesy of Surrender@20: [NOTE: This was hotfixed to live on 11/22] Paddle Star (Q) damage increased from 40/70/100/130/160 to 45/75/105/135/165
