Is there a reason Zac's getting no play?

I do realize Sej is pretty ridiculous right now, just recently started playing her as she's been banned about every game, but since she's banned most games another AP/%health jungle option is Zac. He's barely being played right now, and has been super solid for me.

Tons of build paths, manaless with self healing, great teamfighter, and the list goes on. Ticks all the boxes for what should be strong right now, but he's sitting at somewhere around a 3% pick rate I believe. Maybe he doesn't do well for high Elo, Diamond and above, but for anything below I feel like he should be getting more play. Correct me if I'm wrong though, as I've been having a blast with him.

He has made appearances in competitive play and seen a small resurgence in soloQ.

I've seen more Zac in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last 2 years.....

I dont know why he isnt seen much, I love playing as him and having him on my team. He is my go-to jungler if we need a tank.

The only thing I could think of is that his ulti requires more coordination and communication than sejuani's. There have been times where I accidentally pushed 3 of the 4 people out of an ally Lux ulti laser with my ulti bounces :'C

Maybe it's because he just looks silly

Well cause he is weak . when he first came out he was op. I think he needs a buff. Running him in the top lane is good get some spell vamp so you pretty much have free moves

Correction. Was weak. The last buffs what, two patches ago, gave him roughly a 10% jump in win rate. While he's not the mid to high 50% where Sej is, she's almost always banned, so Zac is definitely a viable alternative. The biggest thing to learn with his ult is aiming ahead with his jump, and to make sure you either use your ult to bounce carries towards your team, or away from your team to split the fight depending on how strong your team is.
