I actually really like Zoe (hear me out)

Now, I know what you're thinking; this dude is nuts. Zoe's overwhelming. She's loud, obnoxious, all over the place, over the top cartoonish, and straight up doesn't even belong in League. The word, "Disney Princess," comes to mind for a little to mind for a lot of people.

And while I respect other people's opinions and likes and dislikes, I finally found the specific reason why I truly love Zoe as a champion, and it's because she reminds me of Ed.

If you don't know Cowboy Bebop, I understand if you don't know who Ed is, but for those who do, she's truly a treasure. Cowboy bebop is an anime from the late 90's to early 00's, that was a part of many teenagers' childhoods. All the characters were relatable, all of them felt well, like people. I can never truly explain how a television show, especially a cartoon, could make me feel, laugh, and even at one point, cry before.

Now I know, im a weirdo because I cried at an anime lol, I know, funny right xd. But there's this character on the show, named Ed, that I truly loved growing up. I could never choose a favorite out of the 5 main characters of Cowboy Bebop since they all have a special place in my heart, but Ima dedicate this one to Ed. Ed is, well, in the show, Ed is a break from reality. Cowboy Bebop, while being a cluster of multiple genres, keeps a consistent noir tone throughout the show, which can really drag you in and never let go in the show, though Ed was a refreshing break from all the breakneck action. The second time I ever actually cried at a t.v. show was when Ed and Ein (Spoiler Alert) leave to go on their own journey. I was never more emotionally saddened, and how subtle the other characters deal with their loss really impacts you. I loved Ed and Ein, I still do, though it really saddened me to see them go at the time :( .

But then. A mage came along.

I always loved league characters, they're probably my favorite aspect of league, and of course I was excited to see the new champion added to the roster, but when I saw Zoe, my face lit up like a Christmas tree. She was everything I could imagine from a goofy little girl like Ed. While you can't draw dozens of parallels, I see a few resemblances between the two, and it really made me smile. :D

So uh, yeah, that's why I actually enjoy Zoe as she is. I truly respect if you don't like her, you probably have good reason to, but I wish you enjoyed my reasons for liking Zoe. :)
