Riot, I Can’t Believe You Did This......

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU MADE A CHAMPION THAT IS ADORABLE AS HELL AND FUN AND BUBBLY AND PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!!!!! I’M SO EXCITEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zoe is the spunky, fun-loving kid champion I’ve always wanted League to have. Like, don’t get me wrong... Annie’s cute, but Zoe is straight up the poster child of adorkably hyperactive, ok. She’s legit a younger version of me but in kid champion form. Plus, she’s got sparkly, lively abilities that match her personality. Like, hellllllooooooooooooooooo! What’s not to love?

I know Zoe’s getting a lot of hate for people thinking she doesn’t look like she belongs in Runeterra (or in League (period) for that matter), but I personally think she fits the bill perfectly. She’s just an oddball is all. :D

Her animations, though...are just........wow. Very well done! Super rambunctious! And I c u wit da Janna hair animations, Rito. They flow so well with the other physics. And I’ve been waiting for an expressive champion (not just voice lines or body movements but facial expressions, too) for a while. We got one with some mega wild ones straight from the get-go. That’s for damn sure. xD

Plus, I really like that you guys introduced a new crowd control that left room for counterplay but is still exciting to use. I never would have thought to come up with something like that, nor do I think I’ve ever seen any sort of crowd control quite like that in other games (I’ve seen a sleep crowd control, but it’s more like a stun in other games...never gradually putting someone to sleep.)

I’m sure I’ll have a lot more to positive things to say as soon as Zoe hits PBE — maybe even prior to that. I’ll keep this updated as I find more specifics that I love.

What a beautiful champion, honestly. The team that worked on her did a marvelous job. Thank you for creating such a precious work of art. :)
