Zoe is so badly designed....

So let's analyse.

Zoe's passive, i'd say that's not exactly unique but it works and isn't busted, moving on.

Zoe's Q, this ability is one of the main reasons that zoe can be broken, they need to nerf the damage and the mana cost, so it can't be used so freely in lane, nor to one shot someone with one q.

Zoe's W, this is completely crap design, putting rng into a game like league is pointless and would never work.

Zoe's E, pretty broken but its easily fixable, just stop it being able to go through walls. thats just dumb.

Zoe's R, its a nice idea but badly implemented.

Ok, when making arguments that you expect people to take seriously use reasons other than "thats just dumb". Now that we got that over and done with lets go over everything else: 20PB points allowed.

Passive -- Perfectly fine passive and allows the rest of her power budget to be spend else where on the kit. (Small power budget use: 2PB)
Q -- Zoe can get fed and will do a lot of damage if she is, just like with anyone else in the game. In no means is this ability broken though. The amount of damage Q can do is reliant on making the skill shot less reliant. By increasing the range you not only increase the damage but also allow enemy players time to react to the ability. (Medium power budget use: 4PB)
**W **-- RNG is fine in League, we have it in multiple aspects (haha joke) already. Its been talked about by Rioters (Ghostcrawler for example) and can be found in Dragon spawn and Kindred marks. What makes RNG OK is allowing the enemy team to react to it and not surprising them with it. Seeing what dragon is next after the drag is slain or spawns, or what camp wolf's RNG has marked are in fact good forms of RNG. Its when you can't play against it then it feels terrible. When Zoe is gonna get a free RNG SS or AI you are able to see the balloon its going to drop from as long as you are in the lane. You can also see what SS is on the ground, knowing she has to pick it you can react or play accordingly when she has it or not. If she has Zhonyas, ignite, exhaust, etc. don't go all in and try to fight her. Simple. What I think would make it a bit more fair is not allowing her to use the RNG ones right away, wait like 2 seconds after picking it up. Summs players use first though are free game since if they are stupid enough to flash first against Zoe (the bubble drops where you are after the spell has activated) they don't deserve to live. (Large power budget use: 6PB)
E -- Long range picks are perfectly fine. The enemy team and your team have to react to them. Not only can a tank soak much of the single target dmg Zoe has, but an ADC or Supp can use the appropriate items needed to counteract the sleep. NOT THE DROWSY. **STOP CLEANSING OR ORANGING OR CRUCIBLING THE DROWSY. ITS NOT CC ITS A SLOW BEFORE A SLEEP. SLEEP IS CC. ** Drowsy also allows someone to get into a more favorable position before the sleep occurs; possibly behind a tank, far away, or even Barrier or Zhonyas before the Q hits. Braum and Yasuo are great at protecting ADC's and shutting down her damage and thresh can lantern someone before the sleep occurs. If you are the ADC or Mid and you get caught out with no QSS, Banshee's, Zhonyas or ally you deserve to die. Sorry. (Large power budget use: 5PB)
R -- This is not an escape and for good reason. This is a elastic re-position tool with no dmg that will always put her back where she started. A good Zoe can dodge abilities and will re-position for those good E's or Q's but a good enemy player will always know when to hold their abilities or defenses for when she gets back to her first position. This ability can be great but also countered. Knowing when to react is key for both parties. (Small-Medium sized power budget use: 3PB)

I hope this helps you understand that she is by no means op or Busted and her imaginary Power Budget is ok and allows her to have the weird kit she does.
