Zoe Nerfs are targeted correctly

DW Diana·Aug 12, 2018·1 votes·1,234 views

Hi All,

So I'm looking at the 8.16 patch notes and seeing a lot of changes, but the one I think Riot hit the nail on the head with is the Zoe nerfs. She misses Q, missed E, but still can kill you. The nerfs to her Passive and W are exactly what is needed to stop this. For once I think the Balancing team got it RIGHT!

Could it be they are LEARNING? =O

Edit: Sad that I have to put this in here, but NO I am not complaining about the damage of her E and Q... I mean how to people read the above and think this... [zombie-brand-facepalm]

If you still die to Zoe after she got nerfed many times, It's not problem with the champion, it's problem with you that you can't even beat such an weak champion, like srsly, her patch history is straight up nerf after nerf. Riot should leave her alone, but instead they are beating her even harder than she needs to be. This just proves that Riot still doesn't know jack shit about balancing this game. The Yasuo and Fizz buff that appeared just proves my point. Her E+Q burst got completely shredded to point where you can't even one shot squishy with full burst + electrocute, even if you hit max range Q and you are fed. That's just straight up pathetic.

Sigh ... once AGAIN, I have no issues in beating Zoe, what I have an issue with is a champion that can miss EVERY skill shot in their kit and still hold 100-0 damage. Her E + Q combo was reliant on her SKILL SHOTS. This current "run around spamming w and passive" is not. Thus the title, her nerfs THIS time were targeted correctly.

Actually I don't really have any problems vs her because most people play her like idiots, but claiming she needs to be FED to do this is idiotic. Watch the Fnatic vs Splice game from yesterday: Nisqy can miss EVERYTHING and still 100-0. Was HE fed at the time? Nope lol.

Its not JUST the passive either, it's the combination of her Passive, Ignite, W and Electrocute. That is enough to 100-0.

nerfing a champions numbers until they are more useless than dog shit is not the correct way to balance a champion. in terms of straight damage i can name several that does more damage than her. the REAL problem is her spam use of her W. she can use 5+ summoners with zero CD. not only that but the active on her W also has no CD when she does this so she just spews out damage from both the summoners and W active. THAT is the problem. not Q + E 1 shot

The only problem is more sparkles being non-targeted, and ignite procing electrocute.

its because her W also allows for a ton of passive procs. her passive also has no CD.

All 3 balls only count for 1 proc towards electrocute.

Yep, which is why if you read the post and then the patch notes you'll see I'm saying the same thing....

Also where were you this last year when Riot have been doing exactly that to Malzahar?
