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.

love playing zoe both support and midlane, but especially as a support because there's more summs to pick up and just the R over walls and to place down vision is underrated i'd say

I just started to learn Zoe for my S12 climb. I'm around Diamond mmr this is definitely helpful for me. Thanks man. Subbed + like.

Very in depth video , thank you so much ❤️. U explained so nicely wht to take , why to take

Great video, really nicely explained You deserve more views tbh

Zoe , and Syndra are my favorite champions , two amazing guides nice joob;)

Dude, this is such a boss video. Thank you

hey man, this is a really good guide, thank you

Thank you so much!!! It helped me alot, subscribed!!! ❤❤❤

You can cast the second direction of q on the same spot of the first cast for quick extra damage.

I like harvest cheap shot eyeball and treasure hunter with either mana flow and gathering or biscuit and time warp. For either more later game damage or more early survival.

Thank you for your guide Shok ill never figured out how to build her iteams, greatings from gearmany. :) now i how somothing to work with. Gl and have fun ill guess ^^

Great guide, very informative

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?

Thank you Mr Shok for this guide :)

Highly recommend give another try for relentless hunter. It’s gives u way more opportunity for picking enemy with q or e in team fights and skirmishers. 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

Dude i used to watch Ur name on dzukill stream i wished to see Ur youtube Channel now it popped good Luck buddy ❤️

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.

if u can plz make guides for orianna viktor leblanc

Very good guide thank you

Love the videos Shok

I noticed that in both this and in the Syndra guide you recommend Ravenous. Since its been removed what do you suggest? Also, what us your opinion on Nimbus Cloak on Zoe?

What a great video, how do you only have 430 subs?

great video

Awsome guide

high Quality content keep up the good work !

With the new tp nerf, is it still good on zoe? I actually dont know if with spellbook you get "unleashed teleport" or just regular one

thank you for this geat video. the lvl3 all it thing is definitly very real. do you think it makes sense to pick zoe EVERY SINGLE game? i do this and im in bronze. some matchups seem very unfair. abd when were behind theres is barely ever a turnaround.

Hey, quick question, in this video you say pick horizon focus almost 100 % but on mobafire you put shadowflame now into the standard build. Should I go shadowflame or horizon focus now?

Lets go Shok!

Thanks, see ya next time

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?

thaaaaankx

I understand this was made a while ago, ravenous is no longer a thing. What do you recommend instead?

I am currently looking to learn how to play zoe and i've recently heard that buying LichBane second since the recent buff is a really good option, is that true or kinda like clickbait for inexperienced zoe players?

how to get high farm like you on zoe? I barely have 100 cs in 20 minute

How do you feel about dark harvest on Zoe? Do you think it is viable?

I know this is a bit old, just wanna say minion demat feels sooooo good in certain matchups!

does lich bane work with zoe? do you use it?

Hey mate, it looks like the mobafire link in the description is broken. Great guide, thank you very much.

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.

very divided between spellbook and electrocute builds, I feel like spell book is much more versatile but electrocute makes all ins feel so much more rewarding .

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

Is Transcendence really all that useful? Wouldn't it be better to take gathering storm considering Zoe's cooldowns are already low as hell

I love playing zoe as support, is this even a option or should i switch to midlane? My main role is support so…

I'm curious about what other zoe players thinks about dark harvest I tend to dislike electrocute's focus on 1v1 laning kills and i'm wondering if dark harvest couldnt be used as a easier to trigger and more teamfight oriented electrocute

Hi Shok. I'd like to know if you think vex is better than zoe as a champion, not taking into consideration the patch :) Thank you

Hey Shok, if I get a point blank bubble and I am near them, should I ult backwards and then paddlestar OR run backwards to paddlestar and then ult forwards? I hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Im playing zoe to climb to iron 2

It just feels more consistent to me currently

Yes

I'm in iron 2 but I will only play zoe this year and will be the best zoe this world have ever seen

how is malzahar "free"?

Pffft, everyone knows Pekinwoof is the number 1 Zoe mid

I thought hextech flash was good to takes

Don't mean to be rude but this guide is surprisingly basic considering coming from a rank 1 challenger. If you title every video rank 1 guide then you should expect advanced players to be watching and these videos you are putting out are more like guide for beginners than "rank 1" guide. I suggest checking out LoL Dobby format and display some of your advanced tips and tricks as a rank 1.
