Zoe is going to be a weird balance champ for a while

DeusVult··1 votes·285 views

She does have a higher skill floor and skill cap than most champs, and given that she was just released, she is going to have a low win rate. An abyssal win rate IMO. Which could mean that Riot could buff her.

That said, her Q damage is huge, and if she lands a E (her sleep spell) and then a long range Q, she can legitimately one shot a back line. (her E makes the next attack/spell deal double damage)

Her laning phase can be heavily influenced by RNG. Took some damage? A minion could drop heal/redemption. Need to back? A minion could drop ghost/TP. Want to go in an trade? A minion could drop gunblade/protobelt/ignite/exhaust. Or none of this could happen. You could be getting smashed and get smite. Its very RNG. In addition to this, Zoe can hold onto those shards for a long time, 60 seconds.

So all in all, Riot is going to have to effectively balance an extremely high skill floor/skill cap champ that brings incredible RNG to her matches

There is no way riot will buff her, they understand how strong her kit is already.

In fact i would recommend changing her E duration to scale with level like morgana Q

I hope your right, but riot has buffed some under performing champs on release, only to realize that they were strong but no one could play them, and the buffs made them busted
