I actually just went 11/0/18 on NEW ZAC. IKR it is insane, but I think he will just take some time to get used to, but I do indeed think his E is TRASH right now, cause it does next to no damage.
SirFlameOfDeath1 votesRevert e and ult and he will be good and what riot wanted, but if they do that he will be really good just revert him he had his own thing going and fit what he was like perfectly the problem with his new ult is you can engage some and disengage others and the speed up to knock away and get away isn't there. The overall damage is nerfed by 60 percent for each champion as well as his e being nerfed. His E and his Q are now about as effective together as his old e in two skill shots. I did win some games with new Zac but he's way under powered. A full revert to his old skills would be nice because everything was a nerf and riot called it a buff. They fell into the problem where they go look this would be awesome, but isn't that strong now yeah so nerf other stuff and they kept chiseling away til he was nothing. A full revert is what is needed here, and I hope Riot will do it, but if they do keep him this way I have probably lost a champion in my pool and will probably play league a lot less maybe not at all, because he was my favorite. His old ult did more and was more consistent than the new one and his q cant go through minions and applies less clear, slows less, and is hard to pull off successfully with a very minor disruption to the champions. Then they thought look we added CC to him doesn't that make him better? No not when you nerfed his other CC a ton and made him clunkier and more situation it effectively takes the skill to use the uld e into the new Q and hope something is around to grab the other side of or your E and Q is a lot worse than before and even if you do its a little worse than before. Also, because of Zac's nature you could always do something in a fight his cooldowns were slow you could block and soak up damage while they are gone and when you go in you go E then ult them into your team and push 2 or 3 of them away while bouncing at a faster speed towards them and your team. You took less damage and did more with his old ult. Now you take a lot more damage, but can't be CC'd but without comboing it after your e its almost a guaranteed fail, and if you get them on the edge of the ult it doesnt register, so you have to play perfectly or you jump into the team and just look like an idiot and die. LIKE OOOOPS can I just please leave, but now that his ult is just once and no speed increase you just cant use it to bounce some away and try to speed out there and wait for the next E. Also while you did that you still did some damage so it was still useful and you blew some cooldown, therefore when you got out you could reengage and bring the fight back, which was the true gamble as Zac, because this time there is much less of a safety net after ulting the first engage. His old ult made him tankier and made him do a little more damage, but late game you are lucky to kill someone unless you his an e on them with 1/10 health and then yeah you'd kill them at almost dead with an incredibly hard and easily predictable skill shot that launches you the tank into the front lines where you belong. I have never heard anyone complain he does too much damage, and RIOT ripped appart his kit and nerfed every part of his kit his , q, e, and r and I understand how they got into the nerfing mindset when adding the Q, but they had to know this was a straight up nerf like 100 percent. His e damage went down and the knockup is half, his q slows for less and is harder to hit the slow and really hard to hit the knock together without using it on a minion, therefore it is super situational, and finally his ult goes once, and not a bunch of times so he doesn't spawn as many blobs for one skill shot reducing his tankiness and effectively knocking up and disrupting less. He has no potential to disengage unless he wants to ult himself back with them and kill himself. He literally does nothing he used to do and does none of it as well Q nerfed, w left the same even though it was a small part and important part of his kit. His E was cut in half for the knock up and has less flat damage, which you didn't build damage on Zac, so it effectively does a lot less its not a small nerf the damage part is huge considering that was most of his damage and it still didnt do much and his R can't reliably engage and cannot disengage at all without killing yourself, unless you are being chased by like a warwick while your health is full, which then yeah hit r quick with a little tap and keep running or instantly E, because they still will end up catching up. They nerfed his whole theme and he doesn't feel like Zac he had an amazing identity and they took it away and tried to turn him into something less origional and nerfed him a lot I mean I know he was pretty good before and you wanted tanks to do no damage and ADC's to shred them for no cost. I understand tanks are meant to be useless now, but really why hurt Zac so much he is 37/37 in the jungler pool he falls somewhere around urgot jg now.
SirFlameOfDeath1 votesin summation you may have a good game here or there, but the higher Elo you get his win rate will plumit and he wall be way to predictable and never win. So enjoy a good game here or there with him until they hopefully revert him, because before he was just right not broken but useful now he is useless and void. They said were gonna buff him and give him some identity but really they ripped his legs off. I do however like the new pictures for his stuff.
