Zoe nerf ideas
Paddle Star! (Q)
NEW: Can no longer be redirected if Zoe is afflicted with a crowd control effect that restricts the usage of abilities. (Ex: being slowed or rooted wont stop it, but being charmed or silenced will.)
Sleepy Trouble Bubble
Ground-Trap duration: 4 seconds >>> 1.5 seconds
Ground-Trap arm time: 0.8 seconds >>> 1.5 seconds
#Why these nerfs?
The Q one is pretty self explanatory. Other champions cannot redirect their abilties during crowd control and Zoe shouldn't be an exception.
However, the E nerf is a nerf to her ridiculous safety. Currently, Zoe is rewarded for missing her E (which isnt good! she should have to land that!) because of her trap. It lasts really long and basically forces you out of an area which Zoe can use to her advantage. By nerfing the duration, it becomes less of a burden to play around, and by nerfing the arm time it gives more opportunity to react and play around the trap.
If Zoe needs compensation buffs (she probably will) we can revert her Q aoe damage nerf. That made her feel really bad to play since she cant farm minions properly until she gets a few items.
