ZZrot port is disabled... Apparently.

Unward49··25 votes·5,045 views

Which is a thing I only found out after buying a raptor cloak. The only other thing that turns into is an Ohmwrecker.

Now, I'll grant you, I was so far ahead and I was Leona, so this wasn't such a terrible buy, but had we not been nearly 14k ahead of the enemy, that raptor cloak would have been a crap ton of money I could have spent on something actually good. Might want to put an exclamation up in the client or something...

Oh damn. I love Zz'Rot, hopefully we get it back.

In case anyone is wondering, there's a bug involving the Zz'rot portal where invisible minions pile up in the lanes (among other places) and block the shit out of EVERYTHING. https://youtu.be/DvtbVSWZo2g?t=155

summoner 6 Fizz Kassadin What's minion blocking?

Zz'rat portal is:

A. not OP B. not used for minion block

It's starts are great, it's a solid movement speed buff, and with half a brain for positioning you can drop it, hard push a lane while you're somewhere else. Having said that, if the enemy is paying attention it ain't shit.

Speaking of paying attention, ive had a Lux blow her CD's because she thought it would affect it. Had a good laugh

Yeah... the constant use I'm I saw recently indicates something is up.

GEMS GEMS GEMS2 votes

I think it was just popular because of Trick2g's udyr build, but someone must have found a bug with it or something.

I have no idea who that guy is, but Zzrot Portal has been very common in my Plat-level matches.

In one game we had 5 Zzrots, one on me (Sejuani) one on our top (Rammus) one on our support (I forget) and the enemy had one on their jungler (Ekko) and their top (Darius(?)).

Zzrot Portal is way too good right now... or, more like the alternative (Ohmwrecker) is just pure garbage.

GEMS GEMS GEMS1 votes

Yeah I could see this being a problem in queue against 5 man teams that all just rush to buy it. I don't know how they would solve that problem because that's not really fair. I honestly think it should only be able to buy as a support item or possibly a jungler item for helping lanes.

loooool

dude if some team uses 5 zzrot as a strategy because they can then thats totally fair.

just get your own if u want to counter

GEMS GEMS GEMS1 votes

By the time you realize what they're doing it's going to take a while to build it up to counter, plus half the people won't probably listen if you're soloing anyways.

LordGeovanni1 votes

or by having some real items you and your allies can counter by just destroying the portals or if they put more than 3 in the same lane which may cause more pressure than 2 people can handle to push under a tower to get the zzrots you can still farm the voidlings for the extra gold the present and scale all the more faster than them with your allies people not listening is a problem with players being smart not with the items or the strategy

Spoofghoul1 votes

then pick nasus or veigar problem solved

Nyxceris1 votes

That's some mad tower pressure

LordGeovanni1 votes

they bought it how isnt it fair the let multiple bortks on the same team they let multiple infinity edges and they all have a more direct effect

FiniteParadox221 votes

Actually happened to me and my friends the other night. We lost early game and early mid game hard but once we had items we just killed them because they were so behind from rushing pure tank stats

Only Play Darius1 votes

It's not that it's good right now. It's that thanks to fewer wards, longer death timers, and free home guards, zzrot is the only way you can splitpush

Only Play Darius2 votes

It's in constant use because it is the only way you can safely splitpush this season. And splitpushing is the easiest way to climb in soloQ since so many teams are content with just playing TDM

SociopathFriend1 votes

I have almost never seen ANYONE else build it- I did twice in one day because I was building pretty much straight health so I knew they'd do a ton of damage if left alone- but otherwise I'm astounded when others build it.

AscendedxBlade1 votes

no its being fixed cuz a bug with it and blitz right now its a funny but thats used for minion blocking and now that everyone is abusing it they have to fix it

TallyZrg1 votes

You can minion block with blue wards too (to some degree)

Only Play Darius1 votes

RIP the only thing that made splitpushing possible this season

I wonder what Trick is going to do on stream now....

SwainDaRokJensen1 votes

Yeah Just playing a game where we probably needed a Zz and it was disabled Dx

8ZAB6I8r7r1 votes

Hey riot the least you could do when you disable an item is remove it from the buy list. dont ruin countless peoples games by forcing them to buy everything that builds into an item just to THEN tell them they cant buy it. You made me throw a match because i wasted all my gold. Good job rito.

Ragnar Rahl1 votes

Disabling zzrot is such a radical alteration to my playstyle with my main champion and several other champions i play that i wont bother adjusting to play ranked while its temporarily disabled.

TheBestWorstPlyr1 votes

Now I can't camp a bush as heimerdinger with my zz'rot portal for the ultimate split push

Swaid1 votes

Its one of my win more items for Singed; the extra speed and split pushing potential is really noice.

LadyRenly1 votes

I duno why Zzrot is disabled, but it probably only is because its been seeing use lately, and whatever bug it has had been overlooked for a long time

Embertine1 votes

I feel you bro. The same thing happened to me when playing leona. Zz'rot was one of my core items for her as it gave excellent siege potential while also giving armor/MR and movement speed when near a structure.

I normally start by upgrading relic then getting boots, then the raptor cloak. However after that I realized that Zz was disabled. Really set me back ingame. We still won the match though so the harm it did was minimal.

They remembered about Udyr being in the game and took immediate action.
