Zoe Needs Another Nerf

Hattani·Dec 28, 2017·3 votes·726 views

Hello League Community, I understand that Zoe got nerfed but is it just me or does it feel like she is still way way way too strong? Yea I understand that shes a burst champion and her q can be dodged but mid to late game or even simply after finishing 2 items, zoe can use her e q combo to 1 shot anybody. In my opinion I feel like her q damage is bit too high and something needs to be done. (I am well aware that she is a burst mage) But simply her mobility, low cooldowns, her sleep, her w which allows her to pick up summoner spells, and the high dmg q (also on low cooldown) make for an altogether obnoxious champion.

Better just revert zoe to non existence because she is a broken piece o crap.

I agree. The issue is simply that her damage is way too rewarding for how disengaged her kit allows her to be. I remember when LeBlanc could dash in, one shot someone, and dash back out. It was considered unhealthy and completely changed, now Zoe has the exact same playstyle, except it's even less engaged than LeBlanc was.

More league communities idea of a "one shot". Aka zoe was fed as hell and hit me with her whole combo and I had 0 bonus MR and it killed me! Unfair pls nerf!

AOE Nid spears you can set up off a 1800 range fast moving mile wide skillshot that lowers its own cooldown on hit sure is fun to play against!

Remember how much fun everyone had in s2 with nid spears?

I sure do!

Glad they're back!

There's no need to be rude.... And it is in fact a 1 shot. Her damage is from her Q and it actually does obliterate a persons health bar after zoe's first ap item. That simply is not ok. Its sort of like khazix and duskblade. Get duskblade and you can literally make enemies disappear. However there are key differences. With Kha'zix you can out play with simply flashing out of the way of his e or simply dodging it. Once you've dodged his gap closer or gotten away from him you're usually pretty safe as his movement speed makes him vulnerable when approaching you face to face instead of ambushing you from the jungle. Zoe? If you do get away she can literally ulti near the tower and harass you under with no consequence and if she lands her sleepy time on you? It's over. You could say, "HEY YOU CAN FLASH AWAY FROM HER SLEEPY TIME!" Sure.... but then she will have you flash to gain back the distance you used to make your escape or to close the gap.... Starting to see the problem? Also, I understand that the Q is a skillshot but is there any real skill in it? The combo goes e q r rinse and repeat. Miss your e? Wait the 10 second cooldown and try again. If she lands her e then you're literally a sitting duck and all she needs to do is ulti and guide her q into you when you are standing directly in front of her. That is not a skillshot..... The worst part of it is that her entire kit is spammable. You survive her attempt to sleep you? Wait 10 or 11 seconds and she will be back with another sleepy time. Its not even a small area that it affects. Its an AOE sleep that is literally the size of Brand's W..... I'm also pretty sure that no person likes to be in a lane against Zoe unless you're playing zed or something. I play league to have fun. Not to hate the laning phase and the rest of the team fighting phase because i'm facing zoe. Playing league should be about having skill and having fun. Not about tearing your hair out with stress over how you have to dodge an AOE Sleep which means certain death the size of the base of a turret. Its just not ok.
