My opinion on Zoe

Sirsir··5 votes·759 views
  1. Shes a burst mage. Her full rotation SHOULD be able to oneshot a squishy champion, and her main skill should be scary. People don't call for nerfs to Xerath because his Q does 1/3rd of an ADCs hp from max range.

  2. Its preseason, where every squishy (and a few bruisers) deletes every other squishy. Especially while there is no innate MR, we shouldn't jump to damage nerfs just yet.

  3. She has a 40% winrate, 2nd lowest in the game. If she was properly OP it wouldn't matter how good people are or aren't with her, it wouldn't be THAT bad, maybe 45%

Her Q is just fine. So its a high damage ability on a low cd, most mages have one. Its a bit more damage than most, but it takes more effort to land than most, and compensates for her W not really being a damage spell. Also its range is shit if you don't combo it with R and/or Flash

Her W should probably be less random. Some games you get Flash, exhaust, and barrier in roughly 3 minutes from minions. Other games you get ONLY CLEANSE 3 FUCKING TIMES IN A ROW in the first 10 minutes (against Akali...). I don't think creeps should drop summoner spells, just items, and they should do it every other wave, on the cannon.

Her E, THATS her bullshit ability. Why does it get a cd refund!? Its such a powerful ability, and its about a 5 second cd if it hits something (and CDR capped, at level 13+). It does good damage, 440 base with 80% (AP HALF OF WHICH IS TRUE DAMAGE WTF?). Plus an extremely forgiving hitbox. IMO it needs a range cap besides 'The longest wall i can find, plus a little bit.' I'd rather it was a slightly longer base range that doubled when it passed trough a wall. And get rid of that damn 30% CD refund and true damage

TL:DR Shes fine except for her E, and her W could use some changes for consistency

i agree her e is a little to forgiving

Her E not only gets blocked by minions, it actually takes 2 seconds to activate after it hits the target, and breaks on damage. In comparison, an Anivia and Syndra Stun is easier to land and if Syndra hits you with her Combo you are dead and theres no 2 second delay.

Any Champion on this game that was not severely gimped on release like Ornn were called OP until people figured them out(only exception i guess is Vel Koz and while he is annoying he has been the most Balanced champion ever released). Anyone calling her OP right now should not be taken seriously.

Yeah, I think she is strong in fights, but she isn't great at closing out games

Teamfighting in a lane is the most annoying thing ever -.- Minions everywhere

Do you know what a minion wave is? If so then congrats, you just beat zoe.

Do you honestly think its that simple?

honestly yes. You see her start her walking back, expect a Q and hide behind the minions. Dont be on top of them like a dumbass waiting to get hit by the aoe. You see her miss her E GO IN HARD. You can be blind and still play against her because of her obnoxious sfx on her abilities. Not only are her sounds obnoxious but so are her wind ups. They all have a long wind up time and unless she is willing to take that time she isnt gonna be doing much damage. Only thing I think is stupid about her is her E going through walls and then some cause you cant actually see it which then leads you to getting one shot. She is very strong in the damage department but her strengths dont cover her weaknesses of being easy to play around. Although she just came out and people are still learning her but this is from pbe and live experience.

Well her e is also he one and only chance of espace (save for the random flash that she may have) if a carry (say yi for example) is coming towards Zoe and her e misses then there is absolutely nothing she can do to stop him
