Zoe = Garbage After Nerf
OH WOW A FUN CHAMPION THAT LOOKS LIKE CANCER
Loved the champion at first sight, bought her and got mastery 7 in a week since her release.
I know the champion was cancer and all the non-Zoe players despised the damage at any point in time in the game.
After a couple of patches, Zoe got adjusted, where she can't use abilities while in her R and also can't use her second Q after 0.5 seconds for extra range, which it made Zoe's QQR combo a lot clunky, but I just adapted to the change.
But this patch, I knew Riot made a bad choice of making a champion that has all the damage source in one single ability.
Q - Paddle Star BASE DAMAGE 45/75/105/135/165 ⇒ 45/60/75/90/105 RATIO 0.40 ability power ⇒ 0.20 ability power Paddle Star no longer applies More Sparkles' damage to enemies past the first hit
Nerf her base damage and also decreased her AP scaling by** 50%**.
Now she can't even one shot ranged minions at level 9 at a maxed range.
patch 8.3s normal max ranged Q does more damage than patch 8.4s slept max ranged Q.
Now, what does that say about Zoe?
GARBAGE.
since she has no lane push, she has barely any roaming potential, which was her biggest and the most crucial part, also lost her lane trading, and now basically gets countered by every single mid laner, and most importantly, she lost her artillery teamfight potential.
She just does no damage.
They could have just nerfed the E to not x2 any damage incoming to x1.4 so people don't complain about getting one shotted.
They are honestly getting rid of every single point of playing this champ.
