The one thing which makes Zoe absolutely unbearable

This may be a bit biased since I don't like the champion on many levels in general, but what makes me feel like "Why, riot" the most when playing against her is not her annoying poke, one-shots, busted hitbox E or chunking you down slowly even with her on-hit passive...

What makes her feel the most unfair for me is her W, and mainly from the summoner spell perspective. I don't know if there's something that I'm missing, other than her W essentially being free item actives which would make it arguably underpowered, but why does she get SO MUCH benefit just from that W in terms of summoner spells?

They're a fairly neutral part of the game and although some champions can make use of certain summoner spells better than others, for the most part it does feel like no one gets such a huge benefit from them.

Meanwhile Zoe: -Gets a movement speed boost and unavoidable damage when she uses summoner spells -Is able to get more summoner spell shards for free from minions -Is able to use your own summoner spells against you, on top of hers -Also gets a bonus from using your own summoner spells

Yes, I know I basically listed what her W does aside from the item actives part and that you can make any ability sound OP in that manner, but that's not what I'm aiming for, I'm aiming for emphasizing just how unfair this concept seems.

You can call it part of her niche, and while it's not necessarily something that's OP, it still feels extremely unfair. Just about every other champion in the game has access to their own summoner spells who do their own thing. I don't know why she's able to get so so SO much more out of the very same, more-less NEUTRAL aspect of the game.

Not only does she have access to essentially neutralizing your own summoner spells (you heal, she heals right back), she has access to hers too, and to top it all off, she gets that annoying movement speed boost and ahri W by using either. Isn't that a bit too much? Even on a champion whose remainder of the kit is not as annoying as Zoe's, this should never be a thing, getting so much more out of a neutral part of the game than other champions.
