Hi kids i'm a **** league player, and i'm here to tell you how to irradiate more cancer than plutonium. Your job as a Zoe is to be more soul-crushing than Six Flag's office building and more dangerous than a suicidal Japanese kid who's lost his honor with a gun. You have the power to either carry the game so hard you transcend reality, or you'll feed to the enemy rengar who camps mid and lose the game having a team of challengers playing meta champions. If you ask me, I think it'll probably be the latter.

Zoe is a very hard champ to master. due to her having one of the most mechanical kits in the game. It's easy to tell a very low skill zoe from a challenger smurf zoe: The less skilled zoe often go for either the bubble > Q back > R forward > Q forward strategy, or the bubble > R backward > Q backward > Q forward strategy, while a more skilled zoe might try to sleep with her ult and squeeze in as many AAs as she can in between her abilities for maximum damage. Zoe is a mid laner with high kill potential and the person playing her must be calmer than Faker in order to make the best decisions in the heat of the moment. Her bubble's range is doubled when it goes over terrain, meaning that a good zoe can set up some crazy ganks and sleeps, making a good zoe a formidable opponent. Or I'm the zoe and the zed gets so fed his grandma is jealous and we lose by 15 minutes.

Zoe is a much hated champion in all of league of legends. This is due to her damage and burst being higher than snoop dogg at around half past four. not to mention this burstyness is present from the moment the game starts, since with the standard runes and items you have 35 ap in the beginning of the game. This roughly translates to 144 damage maximum with just her Q. Do a little more math, and you'll get the answer that she has a potential burst at level 1 of 197 with comet or 251 with electrocute, which is absolutely insane. 251 damage is almost half of most mid-laners health at level one. In addition, you can hit a second combo just 8.5 seconds later for around 190 damage. This is absolutely crazy since you can take out someone's health in 2 level 1 pokes, given you land the full combo. now that we've gotten the seriousness out of the way, we can continue to the guide you want.

Zoe has a few abilities that we'll go over now.

Passive- "Lich Bane but it's level 1"
After pressing a key on her keyboard, Zoe gets a weaker version of a Lich Bane proc that she can use to add to her damage. This ability scales more than a self-conscious teenager, making its late game a nightmare. In addition, this can stack with Lich bane, letting you 3 shot towers with 2 3000~ gold items.

Q- "I-C-BM"
Zoe sends out a pure missile of BM that gains more damage the longer it flies. After the first cast, if it doesn't hit anything Zoe can recast the ability to redirect the projectile to another location. The missile will gain up to 150% more damage as it flies. The damage of a max distance missile totals to about 14 metric-****-tons after you get about 1 item.

W- "I fLaShEd aWaY aNd yOu d0Nt HaVe FlAsH"
Zoe can pick up summoner spells/item actives casted by the enemy and use it once herself. Casting any summoner spells or W will give her bonus movement speed and 3 orbs dealing roughly 0 damage. Summoner spells and item actives can also be dropped by certain minions killed by zoe. Although minions will usually only drop barriers and exhausts, with the occasional redemption.

E- "go the **** to sleep"
Zoe launches a bubble that applies a CC to the first enemy hit or drops to become a trap lasting 4 seconds. Targets affected by the bubble are slowed for just long enough for them to get almost far enough away, and then they are stunned for 2.2 seconds. Any damage dealt to the target during the stun is doubled up a cap dealing the bonus damage in true damage and removes the stun. The bubble's range doesn't decrease while flying over terrain and flying over terrain doubles the range of the bubble.

R- "dammit i forgot it brings me back/HAHA NICE SKILLSHOT YOU DUMB ****"
Zoe hops into a portal and teleports to a nearby location for a brief moment, after which she teleports back to her original location.

Zoe has many heart attack inducing combos. here's a few of them that are my personal favorites.

While Zoe may be more damaging than an affair, you have to remember that she is weaker than the greek economy, and other than any sums she may have picked up she has no peel or mobility whatsoever. So before you start to flame your jungler, remember that you are probably the person being bad at the game, not the jun-**** that. It's always the jungler's fault. Zoe is such an OP champion and Riot's ****ty coding is the only reason you died to a zoe. Never forget that you belong in Diamond I but the teammates you keep on getting matched up with are the only reason you're in Bronze V.-gler.
