    Hey guys, at the time of making this I definitely undervalued Shadowflame, but it turns out this item is super OP. In the video I say pick up Horizon Focus almost 100% of the time but now I think it's pretty 50/50 between Shadowflame and Horizon Focus depending on how many squishies they have. Since the Solo Queue meta right now has so many squishy, low hp targets I'd lean towards Shadowflame at the moment but you can change depending on their champions.

    Great video. Some additional tips and tricks from a Zoe OTP that I would like to add. Spell Thief (W) is incredibly strong early game. You can potentially take it level 1 if an invade fight breaks out. The amount of summoners you could possibly pick up can turn a level 1 fight or simply running into an enemy level 1 in the river or they''re far away from safety. Using ignite and flash for W procs you can run down most enemies. (Especially good if they use summoners as well that you can pick up.) For me in most cases, I take W level 2. If the RNG gods are with you, you get a balloon minion that can lead to a level 2 all in especially if they make the mistake of trying to trade with you. Even if you don't all in level 2, it's there immediately when you hit level 3 and level up your E. If you don't get a balloon minion, since you can get a W proc from ignite and flash with two passive auto procs, I think is a lot stronger all in especially since it is not skill shot reliant like with your E. (For example, in your laning against the LB. If you took W there and play it the exact same way feinting that you are looking for an E and she walks into the lane like that. She probably would have been dead to spell thief procs. If not Flash auto certianly would have killed her.)
    Two combos you can use that I don't believe you covered. A fast Q, E, Q will cancel the animation for the E making it much harder to react to. This is fairly niche but you can use it to catch out an opponent before a gank comes to land the E or probably the most useful case is to land sleeps through spell shields. (Nocturne or anyone with a banshees/edge of night.) The q will hit them first taking the spell shield then the E will hit them almost immediately after. It can help save your life if they are jumping on top of you. The other is the fast Q, R, Q. (Q backwards, immediately R, then immediately Q again. Flash can be added as well) This can catch a lot of people off guard and can be hard to dodge. Generally good for finishing off a low health enemies or just going for some quick poke onto someone.
    With Spell thief, if you pick up a summoner spell that you have. Flash for example. You can just press your regular flash key and it will consume the Spell Thief flash first. Making double flash combos easier to pull off. Also with her E, DOTS don't wake up or proc the double damage. Ignite is the best use of this, if you are committing to the all in and you land the E. You can ignite first for the movement speed to help better position yourself and you will have the three W procs ready for when you land your Q. (Fun fact, MF's ult counts as a DOT so a fun combo is putting someone to sleep and having the MF just ult them and they are asleep for almost the entire duration of her ult.) Portal Jump, since you alway go back to your position, can be used to block hooks or binds to save a teammate from getting hit. For example, Blitzcrank hook, you R in front of the teamate and tank the grab and before he can follow up with any other cc you will be back at your original position. You can even do it if you are alone against a Blitzcrank, you can try to R on top of him as he is casting the grab and will go back to your origninal position. (Not super reccommended cause you are squishy but the possibility is there) With Kayn R or Zed R where they are going to come out on top of you. You can try to R at the right time to force them into turret or over a wall and then you will go back to your original positiong with relative safety.

Few precent of omniwamp useless on mages after recent nerfs. 13 % of movement speed out of combat with 10 % of ms from majays feels extremely good in mid game. Also hunter for cdr good with over glass and new crown. Give zed no way to one shot u

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  2 года назад +3

      On Syndra take ultimate hunter, on Zoe take Relentless Hunter? (the movespeed one). I think nimbus is good but normally I prefer the inspiration tree second. If you are taking sorcery then nimbus cloak is good.

    Super high quality video! More on Zoe's identity, when does she truly shine and what is your plan when going into a game as Zoe? Are you pretty much always looking for solokills and snowballing? Are you more of a roaming champion? Or is she more like a traditional mage that gets stronger as the game goes on or are you trying to end the game as early as possible? Like what are you playing for kinda?

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  2 года назад +5

      Definitely look for solokills and to snowball the early game. You can roam when you have good opportunities but you shouldn't force it like you do on TF or other roaming champions. I think her strongest point is the early-mid game, she doesn't really fall off damage wise at any point but just in general there will be more skirmishes in early-mid that you can easily turn the tide of.

  • @rathernot4254
    @rathernot4254 Год назад +3

    Hi Shok, I would like to know how you auto attack. For example I see you use attack move click(default on A) at 28:18. I assume you use right click to auto a lot more but i might be wrong. More importantly, what about during combos? At 28:32 you comboed q auto(minion) q auto(minion missed). I see you used attack move click on the minion missed but what about the first auto?

    • @rathernot4254
      @rathernot4254 Год назад

      I'm asking since use attack move left click to auto attack. I feel like it doesn't matter when csing, but when comboing I would need to press more buttons to pull it off. For example, at 28:32 i would need to press q --> Attack move left click --> q --> attack move left click; this is alongside the right clicks to move zoe throughout the combo. Thanks for your help!

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  Год назад +1

    I've recently picked up an zoe CDR build because the runes and itemization are pretty boring on zoe cause they are always the same.
    Other runes than the normal one:
    -Ingenious Hunter instead of ravenous hunter
    -Absolute focus and nimbus cloak for the second tree
    Items:
    Ludens > cdr boots > archangel staff > horizon focus > zhonyas ( depents) > Rabadons
    If you have the time for it, I would appreciate if you could give it a try and give feedback on how it worked out for you. Maybe we can figure out some changes for it.
    Have a great evening.

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  2 года назад +5

      I've tried CDR heavy builds on Zoe before and they are pretty fun getting to spam so much, but I think the full pen builds fit Zoe's identity a bit more.
      That being said if you wanted to make this build viable/more fun I'd say swap absolute focus to celerity for more movespeed. Also swap horizon focus to Rabadon's 3rd if you want more damage, or Lich Bane 3rd if you want more movespeed!

    Hi Shok. I really want to be a Zoe OTP and stuck silver 3. Seems like I played Zoe all this time as a traditional mage instead of assassin. I watched and rewinded several times and couldn't understand what you mean by going all in. Should I always let them push into me beforehand? If she can one shot champs from 80% health, how about do you suppose i go about it?. The video simply shows you beed skill 😂 which i struggle with sometimes. Everytime i do however walk towards auto attack based chanps or mages they poke and kill me the moment i try to punish their cooldowns. I was looking at nymbus cloak to help me menauver in the wave better to hrlp with running them down but im not sure how to go about it. I hope you will help me and apologies for yhe stupid questions.
    Hope your doing well :) and hear from you soon

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  9 месяцев назад +1

      Normally you're gonna get successful all ins by clearing the back wave of ranged creeps so they have nothing to hide behind, then wave forward and look for a bubble or R + bubble. It gets bit easier later in the lane since you eventually have enough power on your Q to one shot the backwave of ranged creeps.

    I dont know if you´re going to see this comment. But I have some questions. You cover laning and teamfighting. But what about midgame? when the rotations start and botlane goes mid. Sidelaning with Zoe is not good, as she has no escapes and is very vulnerable in sidelane. Would love to get your opinion on this.

    • @ShokLeague
      @ShokLeague  2 года назад +3

      Good catch, I definitely undervalued Shadowflame at the time of making this. I'd say now it's pretty 50/50, with maybe a slight edge towards Shadowflame if you get a lot of value from MPEN, and Horizon Focus if not.

      Every time he uses W for voidlings you can kill them all with your Q. He has no tools to stop you from just running at him with ignite and bubble since his shield is such a long cooldown. Also his q skillshot is easily dodgeable so he can't ever poke you down. After 6 the gank setup is annoying but you will still be able to 1v1 him easily.
