Let's take a minute to realize

Zoe will be the first champion in league history to never get to use the traditional 3 tree mastery system, nor the traditional rune system that has been in this game for so long.

I think it's pretty neat that the first champion to be released that will have never gotten to use these two different systems is a small kid looking character. It sort of makes it feel like she's taking the first step for an entire new design philosophy that will revolve around Runes Reforged now. I guess all of the grandpa champions will sit here and watch her run with that new torch she just got passed

RekSai was also the first champion to not see the old summoner's rift

Technically she can't see shit, because she has no eyes.

Ironic, considering she's blind.

Karthus was the first champion not to use the traditional autoattack system.

Vayne was the first champion not to use the traditional "counterbuildable" system.

Yorick was the first champion not to use the "champion select" system.

Ah, yes. The new era of champions being balanced around a system that may be changing bi-yearly.

Is Annie any older now? It's been at least 8 years...

I would love an ultimate skin for Annie where she actually gets to grow up. That would be the most awesome thing. It could even be a sort of progression skin where she starts out young and gets older every time she maxes an ability

Won't happen says Riot. Teen Annie has been a thing for a long long time. One of the major developers said it won't ever happen. So she'll likely be forever a kid. Even in the next 8 years. Even a petition was set up with more than 70% of the vote saying Yes. It was simply ignored.

Knalxz2 votes

Kinda of obvious and not really appealing. I mean, what kind of a person is surprised by this?

One way or another there was going to be someone to fill this role.

it's like being amazed bragging about the first baby born i a new country. Yeah, someone certainly was going to be that baby right?

zoe is claerly the love child of AurelionSol and Bard. her hair is just like sol's tail fading into the twilight her portals are from bard. instead of galaxies she throws little stars, instead of a aoe zhonyas she has a sleep bubble

She's also the champ around which Summoner Specialist will likely be balanced around. I hope it doesn't end up mandatory on her.

Fairyfleur1 votes

I honestly don't see it being that great on her. She takes enemy summs; how does changing her own help out?

LostFr0st1 votes

We don't know her kit or passives yet, so yeah I'm not sure either.

However, since SS gives reduced summoner cd, and maybe she wants to swap to a more beneficial summoner when she sees the enemy team's summoners. It really depends on if she needs to have the summoner herself to absorb it.

Hoping it's not a binding like Jhin<-->firstDFT or Yasuo<-->old Warlord's.

And all I'm thinking is how much I dislike her in the same way I've hated Annie since I started playing...

Annie is pretty cool though... A simple child mage with mind games.

tbh, I was looking forward to a new mid laner and was hoping it'd be a simple one :/

That's because she is, captain obvious. Sometimes I wonder if Riot pays random players to go out of their way to point this shit out for the sake of dazzling all you blind optimists.
