Is it really necessary for Zoe to be able to one shot carries with just Q?

Maybe this would be okay if not for the fact that it's on a 4 second cooldown, but it's not. It literally takes one random Q from 1400 range and the game is over.

How has she been allowed to remain like this for so long?

You sure about "just Q".

Because that's a hit by 1 tick of Ignite, Zoe's passive + auto-attack, at least 1 orb of her W passive and a long-range Q.

So basically unavoidable damage that she doesn't actually have to do anything to put out, got it.

That's not okay. She got fed from basically this. She missed 99% of her sleeps, and still managed to kill people with random Q's. An entire ability should not be optional.

OP ended the game down 7k gold. Make of that what you will.

You mean the 14/3/8 Zoe was able to combo (Wasn't just a Q that hit you) a 5/6/9 Lux with no MR built at all?

Weird. Almost like that's how being fed works.

tell me how is Lux any different? fish with Q... it hit a squishy? land the easiest combo in history and squishy is dead.

She was 14/3, had more than 5000 gold than you, likely had that Rabadon at that point, had two infernal drakes, lauched that paddle from maximum range, and the Echo for that extra bit of power.

And I wouldn't personally call Lux a carry. If I'm wrong and she is, then you probably weren't gonna be carrying that game anyway anyway.

She was 8-3 and significantly less gold ahead. She got a quadrakill after this. Imagine trying to take match history out of context to try to justify this broken shit.

Okay, so she was like 3500 hold ahead of you, had two red drakes, and had a fully charged shot against a sqishy with zero protection.

Don't need that much context when the picture is perfect.

If Zoe isn't doing big peen damage with her Q, she's completely useless lol

Also, maybe you didn't notice but you also missed the part where Zoe used ignite and her empowered auto attack.

That's not a Q one-shot, that's Ignite empowered-auto Luden's Echo Q and Electrocute probably

Zoe should be treated like shaco in my opinion: Ensure you have vision in the river to not be hit by her bubble or paddle star. This happened because you were in an unsafe position, against a fed Zoe who’s location is unknown. Most any champion with good surprise burst plays like this; Rengar, Shaco, Talon. The most important thing to do is to maintain good vision, and then you can easily dodge her “random” Q.
