Rest In Peace - Zaun Amorphous Combatant

With the removal of Zac's old ultimate and Q, his jungle clear, ganking power, and overall teamfight presence has been reduced to near laughable standards.

Not many people notice Zac's old Q as very useful, but a E-W-Q could clear raptors instantly and immensely help his clear and allow him extra health for his ganks. His ultimate was his "holy grail" of usefulness. A constant supply of AOE damage, slowing, as well as movespeed allowed him to contribute immensely. The knockup was integral for most Zac ganks, as a well landed E-R double knock up throws your enemy directly into your own team.

Coupled with the nerfs to Zac's core items, such as Spirit Visage, Randuins, and GA, I'd argue his late game functionality is limited to just being the first one to die.

Although it is quite early and most new reworks dive deeply into losing averages, as a two year Zac main, I'd have to say he's pretty much dead atm. I understand what the point was, trying to make Zac more effective against fewer targets and have less of a teamfight presence, but his lack of mobility leaves him dead in the water.

While I'm certain a new build to make him "semi-viable" will be found later, I want to say now that this is probably one of the most damaging and least fun reworks I've seen Riot produce. I've been around since Season 1 and loved the content and atmosphere of the game, even if it's pretty toxic. Zac was in no situation to need a rework, while I understand his presence may have been too powerful, ((Given I've kept a 67% winrate on Zac for multiple seasons)) perhaps a simple Old R duration nerf would have been plenty and achieved the desired result of given Zac decent power over a select few in a teamfight.

I'm very curious what anyone else thinks. I apologize if I'm dramatic, but Zac was one of the sole champions I could relax and enjoy no matter what. This change has been heavy-handed and overall poorly executed. As of the current state of the game, I just find other games like Heroes of the Storm much more fun with allowing enjoyable and innovative gameplay... Instead of a trash ultimate that doesn't even utilize the grounded mechanic -.-

[Stats] Three seasons plat. Plat 4 season 4 Plat 1 season 5 currently plat 2, but just not enjoying the game to play much.
