I actually like her.

Warlord Dienekes3 votes

Well that makes one of us.

But meh, I’m never going to play her, and I’ve already written off the Targon lore. Let Riot give the people what they want I suppose.

Ralanr15 votes

Fair enough. Honestly I’ll probably be very annoyed when playing her and the only reason I like her is because her personality, movements, and how her spells are designed all seem to fit. It’s Sion/Warwick level of thematic and gameplay integration.

Like if they tried pulling off a hyperactive character but the kit or playstyle didn’t fit it, then I would feel more annoyed. Here I can actually laugh because it fits right.

Though I can see why people won’t like her. I can already imagine the hate posts about anime centric characters.

Ahh, but those are two different things. Do I like this thing? And Is this thing well designed?

I do not like Zoe. But so far what we’ve seen her gameplay and personality fit. So she may be well designed (I’ll withhold judgment until she’s out and we get some actual gameplay on her).

Ralanr4 votes

I see. I guess I focus more on whether I find the character well made before judging if I like the character.

The soul of a game designer, on you then.

Idk about that.

A burst mage with the ability to flash multiple times (Reds mentioning about "stealing" summoners' and actives)...

oh god no

Terozu1 votes

Its single use and they have to use before you can steal.

Ravenhale1 votes

Does your jungler smite prematurely? Have no worries, as Zoe can smite that pesky dragon for you! ^_^

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

We don't know if she can use ally summoner. In the clip, we just see her taking the summoner of enemies.

And I think she won't be able to use the summoner of allies.

ForgottenLuck6 votes

As actual weeb trash not only is it my obligation but my greatest want than to main her now

Terozu4 votes

My friend is a short hyper active (literal add) red head with long curly hair, this champ is basically her as a League champ. I flat out told her shes maining Zoe and she agreed XD.

Nylisa5 votes

im ok with the ways she is , we need a bit of a different theme from our usual "im the most badass champion nothing can beat me" kind of confident characters.

she seem different from that so im cool with it.

Beyond Legends1 votes

Yawn every champion is going to have I'm a badass champion noone can beat me moment.... even then she's a bloody aspect. You know like the ones that are capable of walking through a raging battlefield or burn you alive by sunfire?

Nylisa5 votes

yeah i see what you mean, i mean i get it these are heroes, legends, champions yeah but that doesnt mean all of them have to glow with confident, how many heroes and champions we have in different stories that are full of selfdoubt? fear? or they are simply humble,second guessing their objective or questioning their own motives?

we rarely see champions like that , closest to it Nami and Soraka.

Beyond Legends1 votes

People rarely like playing /reading heros with crippling self doubt. Even then most people tend to put up a brave front to hide their insecurities to others.

Terozu2 votes

Im srry but Lux is extremely popular. And shes near-suicidal.

Jerry SeinfeId1 votes

what?

Terozu2 votes

Lux has suicidal tendencies.

Fasmodey1 votes

lol not even close.

Terozu1 votes

^someone who doesnt know Lux's lore.

Fasmodey1 votes

I know her lore.

She is depressed but she is not suicidal.

Terozu2 votes

I said near- suicidal and suicidal tendencies. Such as throwing herself into dangerous situations that could kill her without even thinking of her own self preservation, she wants to die though in the new lore Galio alleviates this somewhat, it was more pronounced before. Like the princess in AoT.

Jerry SeinfeId1 votes

I read all her lore except for the galio one cuz new galio is boring as shit. but i really can't see how she's suicidal.

Fasmodey2 votes

She is kind. Kinder than most of characters. And for that reason, she doesn't hesitate to put herself in danger for desperate people. Of course it depends on point of view, but if you ask me, It doesn't make her suicidal, just someone who gives value to life of others a lot. She in the moment thinks on "how can I save them?" more than "Can I save them?". That eventually puts herself in danger.

If she wanted to die, she wouldn't try to escape from Galio when she thought he was gonna kill her. Or wouldn't fight against Nocturne.

Beyond Legends1 votes

What part of brave front did you not get....

Terozu1 votes

I missed that part of ur comment XD

Nylisa1 votes

you make a good point but isnt rising above those selfdoubts and fears the very essence of becoming a hero and champion?

the whole point of many heroic tales is to show us that doubt kills , fear prevent us from reaching highest peaks and second guessing our every move wont work.

Beyond Legends1 votes

Yes but we have plenty of character that have doubts or fears. Garen, Taliyah, Darius, Lux, hell even Zed is having doubts and fears.

The thing with self doubt is that it's an internal one, no one is going proclaim they have self doubt which is why you don't see it much reflected in VO.

Nylisa1 votes

i thought most of the VOs reflect true nature of the characters and what they really think, its not like they talking to a stranger or an enemy to keep their emotions masked.

Karn Bishop1 votes

Unless there exists an aspect of self doubt that will never be a thing for an aspect so stop expecting that.

Nylisa1 votes

im not sure i understand your meaning.

Karn Bishop1 votes

aspects are basically gods and the self confidence that creates leads to confident vessels by default.

outside of the aspects yes some champions do have self doubt such as ekko, ahri, heck even jarvan IV its just that it does not dominate their personality and dictate everything they do like amummu for example.

Nylisa1 votes

Yes i wasnt talking about the aspects and ididnt expect that from them. i didnt expect anything at all.to be an "aspect of selfdoubt" as you put it. was just stating thats its nice to have something a bit different , wouldnt mind it if it wasnt either.

i was was talking about champions as whole, if you take a look at the recent releases (even reworks) you notice the pattern. and yeah i noticed those as well but sadly they dont stand out much and even overdoing that makes the enviroment dull as well.

just having the same kind of attitudes,dialogues and reactions from champions can get a bit boring , the cocky personalities,the "im untouchable" kind of champions.

the balance and Variety is key, doesnt have to be always a selfdoubt thing.Ornn was a great example here or Sona their reactions to being a champion of the league is pretty unique to their characters.

Karn Bishop1 votes

Ah well that char types not very popular so its going to be super rare, not many people enjoy playing amummu for instance.

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

Taliyah too

I'm actually happy that Riot is releasing another kid champion. Usually, companies are afraid of bringing in children because of parents / people in general suing them for showing violent content on kid characters, but Riot's not afraid. This brings a lot of variety and I respect them for that.

Miragestallio4 votes

best character, dont @ me

VelvetCrotch2 votes

she is a bit like a PIXAR and Disney character. especially with the stick out tongue. ^^

Terozu1 votes

Thats just childhood...

Darius Strada2 votes

Ornn is edgy? What the fuck? Am I missing something?

Niyumi2 votes

I was about to say this. His lore is a bit edgy, but Ornn himself is like a giant, fiery, fluffy grandpa who's slightly cranky, and has some Shrek themes too.

The DrBonjigollo1 votes

Not necessarily edgy but dark i guess. He pushes away everyone, being somewhat of a dick in his VO and seeks solitary from not only mortals but even his own siblings. Those who actually read the lore would know he's a good guy though.

(Pushes away mortals because his asshole brother Volibear forced him to accidentally kill his followers and his sister Anivia burned down his house and after millennia still hasn't apologized.)

ModAcademy Kayn1 votes

Her mouth disturbs me at times.

4 Step Cadence1 votes

Hey. A female champ I actually like. I like her appearance, especially that hair. I'm also fond of twilight and sunsets in general. She's also a Targonian, a region I'm glad is getting some love. She's not terribly annoying, though I may wait until the special interactions are released so I can hear her better.

Zoe is definitely up there with my favorites in terms of theme and design.

Hopefully I'll get her from a random champ shard a few days after her release like Kayn.

Edit- AAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaAaaaaaaAaAAaAaAaAaaAaaaAaAaaaAAaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaAAaAaAaAAAAAaaaaaa! Her eyes are different colors!

SarcasticShepard1 votes

So are we not mentioning the fact that her mouth is SCP-3034 levels of creepy?
