"We like Zac's E, but once he uses it to get into a team fight, he doesn't have anything else cool to do! With improving his cool-ness in team fights in mind, let's make some changes!

Instead of a boring, lame, super disruptive, reliable, 4 bounce ult, we're giving him a neato, cool, slow, unreliable 1 bounce ult that lets you grab the enemy team and dump them right onto your carries!

Instead of a boring, aoe slow for a Q (who wants that in a teamfight? YAWN!), we'll make his Q into a low range, complex, unreliable ability that works best in 1v1 or 2v2 skirmishes.

Oh yea, and we're nerfing the coooooooool E we liked so much to begin with."

PS. Completely forgot about the idiotic voice change too. Why....

"don't worry guys were keeping his E the same because its a fan favorite ability that really defines the character!"

nerfs the shit outta E

Oh gee, thanks, I mean its totally the same and not at all a terrible shell of the ability it used to be. Great.

Don't forget the ultimate lost about 60% of its damage (more if you account for the loss of blobs that would let you spam your W) for the gimmick of scooping up someone, maybe.

I will be honest with you here.

Zac's Q is a better ability. It offers more depth and strong cc, at the cost of being less reliable and straigth forward. I'm fine with it. (Also, slamming enemies into each other is fun).

On his ultimate, though, i am triggered. Zac's previous ultimate was funnier, stronger, more reliable, more thematically fitting. It was not an unealthy ability in any way. Why the hell would you replace it, Riot? New one its situational, conditional, unreliable... That's not what Zac needs.

Concerning the general damage reduction, that was kind of the point of the whole update, and i'm the 1st to admit that Zac's damage was a bit overbearing.

Q- hey lets make it useless in jungle. Aoe is op.

W- lets consider nerfing

E- Moar nerfs. The circle indicator aint enough

R- lets destroy zac.

Riot: you destroyed Zac, revert him and accept you were dumb

Please remove this annoying voice. This is so irritating I don't even want to play my favorite champ anymore.

i don't understand why maokai and zac were reworked at all. i'm pretty sure riot said (back when maokai was op) that maokai is everything a tank should be, even if he's a bit strong, and he's the poster child of the class. I completely agree with that and then, surprise, he's on the table for a rework. Zac, a champion i personally regarded close to maokai in that manner was also on the table for a rework. why...

Yeah his rework didn't really do a whole lot. It's really stupid IMO.

I like his new Q, it has it's pro's and cons. But the ability revolves around there being 2 enemies, i.e being another champ, minion, tower. If it is just a single target it has no uses other than a a small amount of damage.

I think if they were to change it so that if you hit the same target twice, it will slow the target. This being a way to give the ability some utility.

His R I think needs more, it is a very small radius. After using it in ranked, it was very hard to get more than 2 people at a time. Making the area will give a better chance of getting more targets and keeping them within the area.

Change it to 1.5 the size it is now at 1.25 seconds charge.

They will not revert him back to his old self, so the best we can hope for is that they rework his new abilities.

I think his new Q is AMZBAWLS. Zac

I mean his numbers are shit but i certainly like this zc more than the old. He didnt do shit, just fly in with e, mash 2 buttons, any activateable items, and see if you die.

And if you didnt repeat. Gosh sooooooo much better woooowwwweeeeeee

are you really complaining about the voice change? That was the one thing zac players actually wanted in this rework

I like the new ult! It allows this kind of play ennemy team has nashor buff and gold lead, they push mid... and I ult their 2 carries into our tower. We won the teamfight, we won the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF-B4AvkCyg

Zac rework is a JOKE. You can't do anything; inane impractical Q and R, rest of his kit is dragged down into obsolescence. Did they even test out this travesty in applied gameplay or just fold their arms and say AAAYYYYYYYYYYYY wacky Zac thematic clarity!!!

Worst champ in the game now.
