Booger Boy To The Rescue! (Patch 9.7)

By Vinnilla
About Me & What is Zac?
Hi my name is Logan and I climbed to mid Gold last season spamming Zac in the jungle. He is easy to pick up and carry games with. Your amazing ganking ability with your Elastic Slingshot and peel with Stretching Strikes and Let's Bounce! allows you to protect and spoon feed even the worst AD carries and mid laners to victory. Zac is one of the best junglers to learn quickly and climb with.
Pros / Cons
+ Pros +
+ Safe Pick
+ Fantastic Engage
+ Fast and sustainable clear
+ Good Peel
+ High reward for low risk due to Cell Division
+ Good counter ganking
+ Can Carry

- Cons -
- Everything is based around Elastic Slingshot
- Weak dueling
- Hard to contest scuttle crab without help
- % health damage is very strong against you
- Grievous wounds counters healing in skirmish
- passive can be useless when caught out
Runes

This is the must have. Your entire kit is based around your E Elastic Slingshot which procs aftershock giving you a boost of resistances and some aoe damage.

This is a necessity due to the turret plating gold. After a gank which results in a kill or chunking the laner enough that they have to recall allows you to push lane and knock down some armor plating getting you that extra gold

helpful late game as all you build is [armor] and [magic resistance]

super helpful with your passive as it allows you to stay healthier throughout your clear

free gold is good, that 300 is usefull for buying control wards or getting key items such as bambi's cinder much sooner

overall helpful with everything and outclasses Approach Velocity and Time Warp Tonic

You could argue to take Guardian to make your counter ganks godlike in saving your team fights, but you are committing to that before the game before you see your laner's skill. you also lose power in team fights.
Pathing
You have strong clear with your Unstable Matter and Elastic Slingshot for raptors and wolves.
Almost always start With a leash from your bot lane into either wolves on red side or raptors if on blue side. Afterwards always check scuttle crab and try to take if free. From Here you have four options. On Red side you can see If the enemy Jungle isn't contesting scuttle crab he is either stupid, topside or ganking level 2.
1. You can counter jungle and take Raptors and gank mid.
2. Counter Gank.
3. Gank bot or gank mid.
4. you can counter jungle take Krugs gank bot.
On Blue side you can see If the enemy Jungle isn't contesting scuttle he is either stupid, topside or ganking level 2.
1. take Gromp Gank bot
2. Counter Gank
3. Take your raptors and gank mid.
It depends on your lanes how much cc your laners have and how much mobility the enemy laners have. Also pay attention to lane priority and ping for help on scuttle if you see the enemy jungler. It is important you start Elastic Slingshot second for raptors and wolves
If you do have to fight for scuttle you usually will be better off leaving and going topside to do either wolves or raptors as you are weak at dueling

An early back with Bami's Cinder allows you to invade and take raptors even quicker.

Zac is a ganking Machine with His Elastic Slingshot always look for your opportunities. Upgrading to a Oracle Lens and always carrying Control Wards allows you to come out of the fog of war. This helps your ganking become effective in at least getting a summoner spell of Flash Heal or Barrier
Items

Your jungle item. allows you to clear and remain healthy. Bami's Cinder is a must have unless doing AP cheese. non of the other options work with Zac

you are a big gigantic booger who absorbs damage Warmog's Armor allows you to be constantly engaging and still be healthy without recalling

Goes well with your passive Cell Division and Warmog's Armor to keep you health. a must have versus a team with any AP damage. If the entire team is ad build full armor the item is not a must have just a major quality of life item.

for enemies who build crit such as most ad carries and Yasuo. Champions like Lucian who do not build crit and ap champs this item isn't needed.

great at keeping your squishy carries alive and if they are not monkeys the item will heal you as well.

helpful for shielding your teammates as well as some nice resistances.

for enemies who are extremely annoying such as Teemo, Singed and Heimerdinger

great for diving backlines and ignoring people. Severely reduces the amount of damage you will take in teamfights. doesn't help with peeling at all though, a rather selfish item. Great for attempting to steal baron nashor or the elder dragon

great damage boost if you team is lacking. boost AD carries damage along with helping you peel with a slowing aura. Also usefull with a strong top laner such as Kled Darius Tryndamere and Fiora

for more selfish play where you have to carry. adds some nice damage and a slow allowing you to stay on top of the enemy carries. Can slightly help peel. The armor is nice along with the health. Versus full crit champions Randuin's Omen is a better option and Thornmail for people who heal a lot such as Tryndamere and Fiora. Also for Squishy AD carries who are not fed or with healing supports like Soraka and Nami

Armor and some health is always nice. The passive applying Grievous Wounds is the big thing here. This is for people who heal a lot or auto attack a lot such as Tryndamere and Fiora. Also for Squishy AD carries who are not fed or with healing supports like Soraka and Nami. Versus a Trundle this item is a much have along with Ninja Tabi.
When not to pick Zac?

Certain champs do true damage ignoring all your armor and very quickly killing you. Vayne is a good example and also avoid Master Yi
Thresh has amazing peel and making it very difficult for you to engage due to his Flay. Janna is another good example with her Howling Gale stopping all engage.
I would avoid picking Zac into champions similar to these if it all possible.
