An unbelievable thing a Zoe said in one for all just now

I had a hilarious game against Zoe as Braum. Let's just say that I mitigated 90k damage in a 33 minute game and had 0 deaths.

So unfair Zoe missing E and Q but u getting roasted by W passive auto attacks :\

No matter what you think of Zoe, she's not wrong about Malph doing a lot with few abilities.

I wouldn't mind Zoe losing a bit of burst if she got a real ult.

FEW abilities. Wow.

I wonder if there are any champions in the game by now that wouldn't do a lot of dmg with FEW abilities.

How much is a few?

I had a game where I was a ged draven, took for shits and giggles, 1 aa +q dealt 75% of the support zoes hp, and stated "why does your one attack deal so much damage".... Says the zoe [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Zoe's not even that good. Like it's all fun and games until someone decides to vote Zoe and suddenly you're playing a game where 4 players don't know what they hell they're doing. You end up losing by the sheer fact that even though players despise Zoe and that they don't even know how to play her.

Here's the thing though. Malphite is a tank, that now builds AP more often and still retains health and MR from level scaling, passive shield and the only way to dodge his combo is if you have flash up or you're super mobile, while yes Zoe is a hated champion I get it, and she's a squishy burst mage with skillshots you can dodge (and I would gladly trade her burst dmg on a single ability with a more spreadout kit and a real ult/w ability). Malphite overall has higher base ability damage and better AP scaling on them and even scales off armor which he gains from his W (which is even higher if his passive shield is up), so even building full AP, he has double damage scaling. The only exception being Zoe's max range Q ap scaling which you can dodge.

Well, with all the nerfs she's getting recently and the ones she will receive in the future it's not even ironic anymore.

To be fair, if uninteractive burst mages didn't exist in the ranged variety, I'd be playing malphite.

Admittedly the rock doesn't do quite as much damage as zoe or lux if they land every ability, but Malphite does have 180% AP scaling on his Ult->E if he brings comet, and one or two autos while the enemy is knocked up adds another 10-20% Ap scaling from his W. Q is another 60%, and can be done immediately after the R->E for 240% ap scaling without any autos, and this combo goes off before zoe could even put you to sleep.

I'm not arguing for zoe's case here so please don't hurt me, but I'm just saying that from any run-of-the-mill squishy:

"Malphite is so unfair he deals so much damage with few abilities"

would be something I could sympathize with.

Malphite is great in one for all lol

Armor if against AD champs

AP if against AP champs
