Hello everyone, ive been getting back into Zoe lately and I've been playing lots of games for the past few week.s Currently climbing and dropping up and down from e2 to e4. I've been having lots of issues with Naafiri and I can't figure out how to deal with her. I'm running stormraiders as main keystone for more survivability and changing from ignite to barrier but it just doesn't work out for me.
i am 2.4 mil zoe main. yes i know. i have never ever played ranked until this season, because the toxic mentality a lot of ranked players have i just dont want to deal with. i like playing the game for fun.
i’m trying to climb, and i am only 7 wins in so only a few games, climbing past silver 2. i am placed a lot gold-plat players which is embarrassing for my mastery but whatever.
the issue im having rn is the consistent cheese picks. when i was playing norms, i was only playing against mid laners! now i feel like whenever i play ranked i am cursed with matchups im not use to like nasus and voli. not only that, but ill be against a team with a top laner that is conveniently lvl 50, without mastery 10, going 24/4, and i feel like its clearly a smurf or we are just that garbage.
how do people get past this stage as zoe? it feels nearly impossible. i could be fed and i can’t win the game, only sometimes. my mastery is all mechanics. i can hit my shots, do surprising angles, and play around summs from minions and position well… but my teammates always try to wake them up + flame the hell out of me for not being melee range in a team fight. i’ve tried roaming beyond belief, and my farm is ≈ 8-9 per minute which is not diamond level but at least decent.
what kind of macro am i missing? if i pick zoe first it’s almost like the entire enemy team counter picks me with bruisers and tanks i can’t seem to pick off.
