Why Zac's old ult fit the champions kit better

Zac revolves around his passive in team fights. It's fun and interactive to move around trying to pick up blobs in the middle of a fight.

Changing his ultimate from an ability that's helps him move around in fights to one that literally locks him in place while he channels is counterintuitive to the champions kit. Imagine if Fioras ult was a channel so she couldn't move around to hit vitals, or if Draven ult was a channel so he couldn't walk around to catch axes.

New Zac's ilt is definitely interesting and matches the champions theme, but it doesn't match his passive, which is one of the most interesting parts of his kit.

WHen he ults, he picks up blobs as he stretches out. That seems to do the same job but better.

Also I'm not sure a game of '52 card pickup' by another name is the 'interesting' part of his kit

Zacs old ult also had considerably lower counterplay. It was also aoe CC but w/ no delay so all zac had to do in a teamfight was E>R onto the back-line.

Now he actually requires the player to think? OH NOES
