This Guide is created by me, but inspired by the Korean Grandmaster Zoe OTP named Zoebf. Feel free to look his social media up. As far as I know he has YouTube and TikTok. He plays Zoe in this type of playstyle mentioned above in this guide. I wanted to create this guide, since he is a korean and probably doesnt have access to mobafire.

Im a diamond 2 Mid lane main on the EUW server

I have seen alot of people play the standard Ludens + Shadowflame build with Electrocute as runes on Zoe. At first glance you would think okay wow that is pretty solid, but if you think about that setup a little bit longer you will probably come to the conclusion that its a pretty bad setup.

You basically force yourself to hit every single Q and E on the enemys squishy champs and if not you are kind of useless which makes the above mentioned build+runes pretty bad. It might be good in lower elos since people dont know how to ward or sidestep, but League of Legends has evolved and so did the playerbase. Gold players are sidestepping skillshots frequently. Not to mention your non existent damage with the above mentioned setup against tanks and bruisers without your E sleep. Thats when this guide comes into play. You run a consistend DPS build + runes to kill anything and everything without relying only on your skillshots. You can make use of your passive and of your Ws while also having tons of movement speed which is the best stat in the game btw.

I have played 100+ Zoe games in all elos up until Diamond 4 with this setup and have won way more games compared to the basic electrocute+ludens setup.

While the laning phase is a pretty standard Zoe playstyle with making more use of your passive AAs and Ws, you can approach teamfights later on with much more confidence in general since you have alot of tools to make sure that you not die. Zhonyas/Banshees are the obvious items to mention that make sure that you survive longer, but dont underestimate the stats that Cosmic Drive gives you. Movement Speed is the best stat in the entire game and if you can kite enemys properly you will be able to win more teamfights and dish out more damage in general. You dont fully rely on your skillshots + you can make more use of your passive AA and W bubbles.

Good Luck and Have Fun in your games.
