Everyone hiding behind minions, you need to get dangerously close for strong trades. Your trading tool is your only waveclear tool and you have to choose every time it's up. You have to keep looking for shitty angles to land something, while your laner just blasts you through the minion wave for trying. Minions keep moving for no reason and then your waveclear Q only hits one. At 500k going to 600k, when does this get better? Do I need an aim trainer or something?

hey! i'm a former diamond zoe main but haven't actually played ranked in like 3 years so i'm a bit lost at her builds/runes recently

i know she has 2 playstiles, full burst mainly with electrocute, and cdr mainly with aery

i've seen that lich bane is apparently her best item, and have seen some people even skip ludens to rush it with manaflow band instead of nimbus cloak, is this optimal or matchup dependent? when i focused on ranking up, lich bane wasnt good on zoe so i feel like my playstyle doesnt fully fit the item, so some games i've been going for stormsurge instead

i've been mainly doing:

electrocute into other mages/ranged or games with no tanks with - rush mpen boots -> ludens -> lichbane or stormsurge -> rabadon/void -> rabadon/void

aery into assasins/yasuo/yone etc - ludens -> ionic -> lichbane -> zhonyas

aery into galio/kassadin - blackfire torch -> ionic boots -> cosmic drive -> horizon focus

anything i'm missing or doing wrong? thanks in advance!

Hey all, I’m a 500k mastery Zoe D2 peak, so I know what I’m doing, but also have a question for the subreddit. What are your go to combos and trading patterns? I think my early laning has begun to lose the edge it used to, so wanted to see if there was any I was missing, especially into long range mages like Syndra and Ori. I’ve had some difficulty consistently winning lanes I should win, and feel like maybe I’m just trading wrong.
