EDITED: So I just hit Mastery 7 with Zoe. She doesnt need to be changed at all
So first off, yay I finally hit mastery 7 with zoe (Im pretty sure Im gonna be sent to hell for it)
So right now, based on data from op.gg, zoe's bannrate is at around 83%, yet her winrate remains quite low.
I get that she's a new champ (hasn't even been a week yet) but the bannrate is EXTREMELY high (just like
)
Maybe its just because it is still the first week of the champion release, but at least in my eyes, Zoe is extremely disliked and not enjoyable to play against. Based on my game experiences with Zoe, as well as what the people on the boards say, here is what, overall, people dislike about her:
- Her w RNG is frustrating to fight against in lane. It has the chance to turn the tides of a lane during the laning phase, or it's absolutely useless and drops barely anything. More often or not though, the benefits you reap despite how much or little is dropped is massive. With such a wide pool of useful summoners and actives that drop, you can almost always utilize them efficiently against your laner.
- The E cc is extremely annoying to try to play against. Not only that, but she is capable of launching the bubble from really far lengths, so its hard to predict where she can throw it. Not to mention the bonus damage it adds from the sleepy debuff, and how constant Zoe can use the E to easily catch people out.
OPINIONS ALERT, CARE IF EASILY TRIGGERED: Zoe, to me, is an extremely fun champion. I knew that when I read the Red Post about the upcoming burst mage that I would love her. She has a very unique kit, and her one shot potential is extremely fun to execute on enemy squishes.
EDITED: after doing more research, I come to the conclusion that Zoe is not the problem, but other people ranting on about how OP she is. Her burst is just as effective as
and
, but yet there are lots of people complaining about her. My problem was that I let people affect my opinions without considering their arguments more efficiently. Zoe is definitely not the hardest champ to learn, but she isn't someone you can just pick up and do effectively with. She takes skill to delete her enemies, and apparently RNG and one q oneshotting squishies is enough to be called "op".
Hopefully, her bannrate dies down, but if not, riot will eventually take action to nerf her, even though they aren't necessary.
This has pretty much been my first rant post, and I really appreciate those who took their time to read this. I could be biased in any way, so feel free to call me out (not in a toxic way I hope) on anything that sounds rather off to you. Thank you so much! [sg-kiko]
TLDR; Got mastery 7 with zoe, everyone says she's busted right now but really isnt, I need her nerfed so I can play her more plz [zombie-nunu-tears]
