These guys kill you just as fast, if not faster, and are far more reliable, with far higher damage.

And let's not forget what ADCs are now: Ranged assassins with god-tier sustain.

But Zoe's the broken one. Yeah.

Jumping on the 'ADCs are assassins' meme train for likes is one thing, but there are many champs you linked that do not one shot, or even kill with a full combo, unless obscenely fed or are 6 items vs someone with no defensive items.

Not only that, much of the hate around Zoe isn't just a generic 'she's broken', it's the way she's broken. Some people may be old enough players to remember when AP nidalee was a midlaner? Zoe is essentially that same champion, except instead of a heal, she gets an equally long range CC to make sure she doesn't miss her actual damage.

Add onto the frustration of that game play style, they also decided to throw in RNG really powerful effects on her w.

She's just a terribly designed champion in terms of all the things Riot has said they're trying to move away from with repeated reworks of older champions.

All of the champions you listed can not deal as much damage as Zoe can with 1 ability. Well...I guess technically Veigar can but he is an exception to it (and usually involves a lot of him farming to do so).

But no other champion on that list can deal 247 + 99% AP (From max range Q) + 140 + 25% AP (Level 18 Passive) + 220 + 40% AP True Damage (from E) = 607 + 164% AP (With 220 + 40% of it being True damage). Yes it requires landing your Q at max range, but that's not hard if you land your E on them since they can't move...and Landing that E really isn't all that hard either. The champion just came out and already reaching basically 50% win rate with almost 11% play rate on a champion that is supposed to be "really hard to play" or from what people are saying.

I won't deny that some of those champions on that list do have an easier time to deal their burst damage, or that some of those champions are pretty broken but Considering how well Zoe is doing already even though she was just recently added and was banned like 74% of the time, and I've seen way more people stomp with her then lose.

And you lose a little credibility already when your list consist of a lot Assassins who's entire goal is to jump in and burst 1 person, and almost every ADC. While yes, ADC is really strong right now and some are definitely a problem but not every ADC on that list should be on there...Like Varus Jinx Jhin Caitlyn Sivir while they can do more damage overall than Zoe, none of them can hit you with a strong CC and then blink forward and deal like 90% of your HP with 1 ability and instantly pop back before any retaliation.

Udyr killing you as fast as Zoe? MEGALUL

From all the champions youve listed only few can actually one shot and those are Kayn Rengar Talon Veigar Zed Chogath and all of them have to go in for a kill and cannot escape after that, all of them except Zed. And even they have to use their entire kits to do so while Zoe doe's it with a single ability from across the map. Yes shes broken, she's literally worse than the old Nidalee.

People dont like her because its like playing against old AP Nid. Sure, you can dodge the spear. But eventually one is going to hit even if you just dodged 10 of them. And that one spear is enough to send you back by itself. Unlike old AP Nid, she has extreme ranged hard CC to ensure her 'spear' lands.

Also, her W RNG is far too powerful

Disagree, she's a bit out of control - her CC ability in conjunction with her artillery ranged burst is too much.

I and most of the league community will continue to ban her.

I think I'm gonna just copy down this thread...

And the last one insisting you're always right...

and then them back to you when Zoe gets nerfed. She's far too strong as a catcher in the mid-late game and her early game can be brutish, especially if she gets a Gunblade or Protobelt from her bubbles.
