Hi ! My name is kentrooo and I have reached peaked rank 238 Split2, 335lp Masters OTP'ing Zoe Support. This pick is extremely strong and allowed me to climb multiple ranks after switching from playing her mid. I que zoe top secondary which I have also created a guide for.

Peak ranks on zoe support/top
Split 3 : Rank 49 D1 25lp
Split 2: Masters 335lp
Split 1: Masters

I have recently started a YouTube Channel where I have been posting VOD's to help players learn more about the pick and planning to post more content in the future.

Enjoy the small guide and feel free to dm me any questions :)

This section's playstyle has been slightly nerfed with s14 changes but is still relevant.

zoe can optimise full ms and cap out at 520ms. This lets her roam better early and avoid getting caught

This build largely revolves around fighting early game with the boots rush, out of combat ms and abusing zoe's spell shards. This pick is strongest with an early lead which scaffolds into vision control and picks into midgame.

Lvl 1 is always invade, zoe's bubble is extremely strong for invades and can catch running enemies easily.If enemies are stacking in bush, Zoe's w carries the fights always.

During lane, zoe wants to poke the enemy out and wait for bubble timers so that adc can auto and zoe can land an aa or q. Level 3 is zoe's spike since she gets access to her w which lets her have an additional 4 summoner spells in all in's- I will often look for flash bubbles to pick up the adc's flash on the floor.

First back, zoe should rush boots and control wards and look top and mid to see if there is a gank opportunity. Most games, I will run top and look for a lane gank in the bush when waves are crashing into enemy tower.

Usually, this will burn top flash which I then use to invade enemy jg if ally jg is around or run mid for a gank. Burning enemy mid's flash with picked up flash is always worth and often gets you another flash to use anyways.

I then run botlane where the lane is typically stacking a wave on tower, I hide out of sight if they are looking like they are going to dive and clean up the kills.

This playstyle often forces enemy bot to force a play and being there to counter a forced play nets large advantages.

Aim to rush boots into aether wisp - early roams for relentless hunter stacks

Sorc boots or swiftness boots depend on tempo

Shurelya's works with this build as an option too

Mid game largely revolves around securing vision and looking for picks when the enemy goes to ward. Zoe excels with vision control and with support item this becomes easy.

R + ward allows you to secure vision in typically out of reach locations and look for bubbles that catch enemies off guard.

Assisting whichever laner is ahead to push further up with vision and preventing enemy picks.

Zhonya's allows for aggressive play without punish, if the enemy uses all their engage on zoe support consider it a win for the team

Late game zoe tends to fall off, so I let the team do the damage dealing and focus on picks and baiting the enemy to engage onto the zoe support.

Through ability haste stacking, zoe's bubble can get to a low cd and enable the 2s sleep onto key dps dealers on the enemy team. This acts as cc but also sets up kills midfight and secure picks. The long range bubbles are often hard to predict once a teamfight begins and can become easy pickings when the enemy is distracted by your team.

Playing on flanks for long range bubbles can be a great strategy to avoid tanky targets eating bubbles.

Stormsurge is very strong this patch imo to snowball games. Do not buy this item if your team is substantially behind as you will be unable to proc squall.

Zhonya's is very strong depending on composition.

I tend to start sweepers lvl 1 and throughout all of game to build up early zombie ward stacks. This enables aggressive bush play in laning phase as well as gank opps.
