Buff Zac already? Hes kinda weak right now. FTFY

I'm guessing you are below Platinum, because in Platinum and above, you realize pretty quickly why Zac is not a meta pick. I am a OTP, Zac solo lane player who has thousands of games on the champion. First, is that unlike most tanks, Zac is entirely skillshot based. Second, Zac's signature ability, Elastic slingshot, is a skill shot with over a second of travel time at max range, that telegraphs its landing spot immediately with a shadow, and even has a red circle appear .75 seconds ahead of time. Do you know what happens to Zac when he misses or gets knocked out of his Elastic Slingshot? Teamfights are lost. At my ELO, you get knocked out of Elastic Slingshot by Thresh Flays and Alistar Groundslams. If the enemy team has a poppy or Janna, GL ever landing an elastic slingshot.

Second, this is now league of heals and shields and Zac is a burst based tank. In the late game, Zac's full burst and ultimate do under 2k damage, and thats if you buy a liandry's torment like I do. Redemption provides 500 health, and locket of the iron solari provide 500 shield, immediately cutting your burst in half, and that is before any other shields or healing effects get taken into account. I had a game recently, where I was a fed Zac (with liandry's torment), and threw my entire burst at the enemy ADC (including ignite), only to have her above 80% health after my ultimate ended.

Add onto that that Riot even recognizes Zac isn't in a good spot (why rework him otherwise), and maybe the real reason you are complaining is evident. You lack the game knowledge to take advantage of Zac's numerous weaknesses, so I came here to enlighten you. Heals, shields, and knock-ups and suddenly Zac becomes a pin cusion that rapidly deflates.
