Ideal Synergies
Fiora
Fiora is the hardest possible counter for Zac. True Damage as well as her W to just say "No Thank You." to your E. I hate this champion with ever fiber of my body.
Bel'Veth
Can dash out of the way of your E plus out scales you late game due to her True Damage and Damage Reduction. Try to get your team fed to kill her late because of her weak early game, she has trouble ganking and is forced to farm.
Sivir
She can block your E with your spell shield but it takes reflexes for her as well as after you land you can immediately Q her and CC her that way. Definitely a skill match up.
Aatrox
Bit of a problem early due to him reaching level 6 first and being able to 1v2 early however if your top does not feed then you can permanently CC him with your E-W-Q-R combo and he will get melted because he cant use Q's for lifesteal.
Ahri
Can chunk you with Q as well as Charm you before you land in order to cancel your E. But if she does not do that she can just Ult out of your E so you basically cannot gank this chick past level 6. However if you do manage to E her then you can oneshot her. Skill matchup.
Akali
If you land Q on her in her shroud then she becomes visible. She can use Ult to escape your combo but she must be next to you to do it and by the time that happens you most likely killed her already.
Akshan
Unlike other junglers Zac can ACTUALLY gank Akshan. He cant grapple out of the way in time if you E him from outside of vision and you oneshot him.
Alistar
Can stop your E with Q, and W. CC menace plus he is tankier than you. Nobody plays Alistar thank god but if you see him and he is good then say goodbye to your LP.
Amumu
Amumu is literally just a worse Zac. Track him in the jungle and make sure to countergank him whenever he ganks because you will almost always win because he will use both charges of Q to gank.
Anivia
Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Annie
Try to predict where she is going to run since her E gives her a boost of movement speed. Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Aphelios
You kick the slime out of him early, he puts you in a shredder late. Dont let him get ahead by spam ganking and you will be cool.
Ashe
Immobile ADC force a flash or get a free kill.
Aurelion Sol
He can Q/R you before you land on him with your E.Other than that Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Azir
He can Ult you under his turret before you land on him, and even when you do he can dash out of our grasp. Gank with care.
Bard
Dont let him E out of the way and its easy kill. Its funny pulling him away from portal with Q.
Blitzcrank
Forced to run away if you E on top of their ADC. Might try to hook you under turret so careful but other than that its easy. Plus if he hooks you in teamfights just press R and your team wins the teamfight easy peasy.
Brand
Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac. Same story for support.
Braum
Depends on the type of Braum player. If they are good then your will just E your E and cancel the damage and run away for free. Go after the ADC and they will jump in front and tank from your ADC/Supp. Skill Matchup.
Caitlyn
Can E out of your E and wombo combo your entire healthbar early. A pain in the butt to gank. However if you hit E on them its GG. Skill Matchup.
Camille
Can dodge your E with their long range E. Even when you land on her she is really tanky so she will either just E away after you hit everything or fight you with her true damage Q and oneshot you.
Cassiopeia
Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Cho'Gath
If he is going AP one Q to your passive blobs and you will die. His ult counters tanks by oneshotting them while they are low while Zac always gets low to heal up from his Blobs. Scary.
Corki
Can dash out of your E and if its a good Corki player then they can use Package every time at an objective and sweep your team. As well as his mixed damage you literally cant build against him until late game when you have both Armor and MR. Nobody plays Corki and thank god thats the case.
Darius
If he gets all 5 stacks on you then you are in trouble but with your CC you should be able to take him out with your laner. Watch out for late game though if he ults you with all 5 stacks then you will get killed at half health because of the true damage. He can also stop your E with his E but if you wait for him to use E then its cool. Skill Matchup.
Diana
Broken champ probably will be one of permabans tbh. Does more damage than you and hard carry potential. Dashes across the screen and will make you cry.
Dr. Mundo
His passive is a giant block for you to gank however if he is low and you get the Q off after you E then he is pretty easy. Watch out for Bonesaws however they will chunk you hard.
Draven
He can cancel your E with his E and even when thats on cooldown he can probably run out of your E with his W. This champ is broken against Zac because of his E.
Ekko
Never had any problems with Ekko just build MR and its like a child trying to beat up an adult. the adult karate chops them with E and the child runs home crying with his R. Find him at his ult location and E him + W him again and he is toast. He can dodge your E with his E though so careful.
Elise
She has early gank advantage over you but if you countergank her early and provide enough CC you win early. You hard outscale her late so dont worry.
Evelynn
If you CC her then she dies. If you miss then you die because of the amount of damage she can output post level 6. Skill Matchup.
Ezreal
Zac's least favorite champ to gank due to his E being a get out of jail free card. Not that bad other than that you oneshot him if he does not have E. Skill Matchup.
Fiddlesticks
You hard counter Fiddle because whenever he uses his W Drain if you CC him in that time it goes on a long cooldown (10 ish seconds) which he will be evaporated in team fights without his W. Watch out for Crow Storms and peel your backline from his Ult and its easy peasy.
Fizz
Fizz can easily dodge out of all of your stuff with his E + Zhonyas. You aint killing this dude in ganks unless he does not have stopwatch + E.
Galio
Can stop you mid air with his W and he his the tankiest MAGIC RESIST champion in the game. Zac does AP damage so you wont have a fun time if its an experienced Galio. He ults his teammates if you engage so just peel your team from him.
Gangplank
Cant cleanse your Airborne with his Orange. Only watch out for his Crit barrels and Passive true damage and its easy peasy.
Garen
Cant gank him early because he is tanky and can remove slows with his Q. He middle fingers you late game with his ult executing you with true damage. Feels terrible to play against as Zac however if you perma CC him before he gets any damage off for him to ult you then easy peasy. Skill Matchup.
Gnar
Gnar can jump out of the way of your E plus ult you into a wall if you engage on his mega form. Pre Mega if you E him then he is way less tanky. Skill Matchup.
Gragas
Gragas can stop your E with his E and can bomba combo your entire healthbar. Watch out.
Graves
Graves hard smashes you early because he can invade you and make your life hell however if your team rotates and you CC him with E then your life becomes so much more peaceful. Build armor and you outscale him. Skill Matchup.
Gwen
Your E goes through her shroud but she can dash out of the way. She shreds you with true damage but she got her true damage nerfed. Just build MR if she is ahead and wombo combo her with CC.
Hecarim
Tanky asf, High mobility to dodge E, more damage.
Heimerdinger
If you perma CC him before he can throw EMP then he is done for. Wait until he is oneshotable tho like lower health because if you dont oneshot him he will oneshot you. Get out of heimer turret range asap after you kill him they will melt you.
Illaoi
If she has ult you will have a bad time but if she is overextended and the enemy top knows how to play against her than you will have a good time. Skill Matchup.
Irelia
I have 0 issue dealing with this champ perma CC her she dies buy frozen heart 4th item GG.
Janna
Supports that peel their ADC's from your E are so cancer to play against she can use Tornado and Ult to push you away and fail the gank/tower dive honest dodge/ban angle.
Jarvan IV
He is better than you early. You MONDO scale him late.
Jax
Your abilites go through his Evasion. He can 1v1 you easy though so careful.
Jayce
He can whack your E away with his E and run away to safety. However if you CC him he gets bursted.
Jhin
Immobile ADC if he gets fed with collector he is a pain but if he is a scrub and does not get fed then its easy.
Jinx
If she has vision she can place traps on the ground before you land and it hits you in the sky but if you CC her then she gets melted.
Kai'Sa
Can run away from your E with her E just predict where she is going to run.
Kalista
If you go after support then she can ult them to safety. If gank does not go good then she can oneshot you with spear recall. Skill Matchup.
Karma
Perma shield + impossible to gank bc her movement speed when she casts her spell on her ADC/herself. Sucks to gank.
Karthus
You beat him early but lat he will oneshot with each Q + ults all of your passive blobs. Stomp him early and dont let him get ahead. He is immobile but watch out for his passive.
Kassadin
He has magic resist as well as his ult is a short cooldown Ezreal E oneshots you late game gg.
Katarina
Build MR/Armor depending on build if she gets ahead she does not do much damage to you just CC her when she is ulting and its easy. She can blink out of your ganks though and alawys emote after doing it dont tilt though.
Kayle
Abuse her entire game even when she ults with your CC she cant play. Frozen heart 4th item GG.
Kayn
Kayn can press Q on your blobs a single time and take out every single one. My jaw dropped the first time it happened. He has mobility, dodge your E with his Q and ult/cancel your E with his W if he is going Red Kayn. Red Kayn heals full HP after ult consider banning. Blue Kayn is freelo because you CC him once and he gets melted.
Kennen
Can chunk you with his Q's / Dodge your E with his E mobility. Try to kill him first because he will always try to get a 5 man ult for his montage on youtube.
Kha'Zix
Kills you early, you CC him late and win.
Kindred
Try to push her out of her circle with CC she builds ADC items so if you CC her then she is easy dead.
Kled
easy peasy 0 mobility champ try to get him off Skarrl and he is toast then.
Kog'Maw
Chunks you extremely hard with his W % max health damage cancer to play against plus sheds your Armor + MR. However he is 0 mobility so E him he dies.
LeBlanc
You cannot gank this champ. Does not matter anyway this champ sucks does no damage to you.
Lee Sin
He might try and invade you early so careful. Dont stand directly in front of your team because if he ults you and you hit your team then they take the kicks damage, get knocked up, PLUS take 15% of your maximum health as damage. Other than that he can ward hop out of the way of your E. Definitely depends on the type of Lee player. Extreme if he is a god or tiny if he is a noob.
Leona
Frontlines hard as balls makes sure to CC you during your ult so you cant move and if you CC her she just presses W and takes no damage.
Lillia
High damage, High mobility, she got nerfed so nobody plays her anymore but I got PTSD from past true damage 900 movement speed game winning CC times.
Lissandra
If you cancel her E with your CC an incredibly easy matchup. Skill Matchup.
Lucian
Can dash out of the way of your E but trades that mobility for damage. This champion will not do any damage to you unless for his ult.
Lulu
She can polymorph you mid air as well as ult herself or her ADC to cancel your E. Skill Matchup.
Lux
Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Malphite
He only gets way more use out of Armor than Magic Resist so unless he is AP you can easily 1v1 him with your W % max health damage. Make sure to peel your team from his team when he hits his ults.
Malzahar
Ask your mid laner to get his passive shield off of him with a single auto. Then you can gank. Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac. If you get ulted by him just wait for it to end and jump away lol he will be pissed.
Maokai
Can Q you before you land knocking you back. Will perma CC you and can dodge your Q with his W. Dont attempt tower dives if this is the support unless they are low. His Saplings chunk you in bushes if he is going AP too.
Master Yi
Perma CC him and you win. Accidentally run into him in the jungle and you lose. Its your side favored late game however.
Miss Fortune
CC her with E and she gets melted. Interrupt her ult with your E and she stops it.
Mordekaiser
If he has ult up you simply cant gank this dude. You can try to jump away from him in his Realm however he will smack you in brazil and you will die. Simple as that. Always ults you btw its pretty tilting because you are the frontline for your team.
Morgana
Blackshields before you land makes fights/ganks impossible. Can Q you to interrupt your E. Skill matchup.
Nami
Can ult you to stop E. Immobile support you melt if you CC her.
Nasus
Oneshots you if he has stacks + ult. Cant catch him if he withers you. Pray he does not get ahead.
Nautilus
Can hook you before you land. He can perma CC you and is pretty tanky.
Neeko
Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Nidalee
You oneshot CC her she is squishy just dodge her Q's.
Nilah
Nobody plays this champ and your abilities go through her auto attack shield PLUS your Q. She can dash out of your E though so careful.
Nocturne
He spell shields your E and oneshots you. His ult makes it hard to see who to E. Tough champ to fight against in teamfights. You gotta rely on your team to deal with him but just peel your team when he ults.
Nunu & Willump
Counter gank him early and he will not be happy. You scale harder than him just watch out for his counter jungling antics.
Olaf
Ult blocks your CC plus he gets Armor and MR on his ults passive. Not fun to fight.
Orianna
Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Ornn
Hard outscales you, buffs his team, and can counter CC with his W, chunks you with Brittle. Not fun to play against.
Pantheon
Oneshots you late with his Armor Penetration every ult level up. Oneshots you early 1v1. Ganks are pretty easy but he can E your E and take no damage.
Poppy
Blocks your E with her W, stuns you into a wall, and you get melted by her team.
Pyke
If you CC him then he dies.
Qiyana
She is an assassin that can oneshot you if you are not careful. Pushes you into a wall and swats you with her hoolahoop. She goes invisible if you gank her. Not fun to play against.
Quinn
Blocks your E with her kick, you die. If you CC her then she dies.
Rakan
Can stop your E with his W or just dash away with his E.
Rammus
You obliterate Rammus because of your W as well as your CC able to lock him down.
Rek'Sai
Reksai will oneshot you with 3 Q's then an E to bite you for true damage however you scale and beat her late.
Rell
Jump on ADC not Rell. If you have no choice then you are most likely not going to kill her due to how tanky she is and she can just jump out of the way. She shreds your Armor so be careful.
Renata Glasc
Can stop your jumps with her Q, she is immobile so if you CC her then she probably dies.
Renekton
Shreds your armor with his empowered E / can dodge out of your E with his E. He will oneshot you 1v1 but if you CC him then he dies without ult.
Rengar
Cancel his ult/hops with your E and wail on him he is an assassin that can regen with his W rinse and repeat just peel your carries from his ult.
Riven
She is the definition of dashes out of your E. She can solo kill you easy with ult. If you CC her you burn her flash though and even might kill her 1v2.
Rumble
Does so much damage to you with his flame spitter try to oneshot him or else you will not have a fun time with his Q and Ult.
Ryze
mfw the Ryze player hits me with that dollar store E + Q "COMBO". Interrupt his ult with CC and it goes on full cooldown this champ sucks. Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Samira
Dashes away from you if you try to jump on her plus her ult melts you but CC her during her ult and she stops.
Sejuani
She can stop your E with her Q as well as can perma CC you she has an edge over you in the CC category. Also if her team consists of mostly melee you team will be frozen until the nexus exlodes.
Senna
Immobile and easy to gank she builds lethality oneshot her.
Seraphine
Her ult / roots can stop your E. Immobile and pretty easy to gank. She will carry teamfights however just make it so she cant really ult by harrassing her.
Sett
Cancels your E with his grab, oneshots you with his W true damage. If you dodge that pretty easy.
Shaco
Can Q / Ult out of your E, CC the right clone and you get 300 gold.
Shen
Can dash out of the way of your E with his E. Cancel his Ult with your CC. Try to melt whomeone before Shen arrives because that will cancel it. Oneshots you with his Q auto attacks.
Shyvana
My personal permaban. Goes Sunfire / Bork and oneshots you. You cant oneshot her, high mobility to dodge your abilities. Extremely busted rn against Zac / Tank junglers.
Singed
He flips you if you land on him and his goo stops your E. Late game his smoke will melt you.
Sion
Easy to gank immobile champ. If he is going AD Sion then watch out for his E because it shreds your armor + jump away from his passive zombie. If he is going tank then its easy peasy perma CC him or block his ult in teamfights.
Skarner
Can perma CC you after you land. Pulls you under tower just ult him away and carry on with your day. Very good peel champ turn off his night lights in the river and he is much less scary.
Sona
Immobile Sona can only ult you to get away or flash. Strong in team fights and empowers ADC so hard. Try to get her + ADC together in E because she stands so close to them.
Soraka
This champ can silence you mid air and heal her entire team their healthbars over and over again try to focus her in teamfights or just brute force kills through her heals I hate this champ.
Swain
He lives longer than you because you stand melee range in his ult healing himself. If you perma CC him and get him low he is just going to zhonyas. I hate this champ.
Sylas
The ult he gets from you is so much worse because he cant Zac W while doing it which is where most of the damage comes from. Perma CC him so he cant W and he will break his keyboard over his knee.
Syndra
Nobody plays Syndra but she can push you away while you are midairand ulting so she is pretty cancer but nobody picks her.
Tahm Kench
He will ult his teammate that you are wombo comboing or chunk you with his % max hp auto's. If he ults you into his team then use your ult to knock everybody up gives great set up for teamfight.
Taliyah
She can stun you mid air with her rock field plus knock out away with her CC. If you CC her then she gets melted.
Talon
CC him and he gets melted. Just peel your carries and he cant play.
Taric
One of Zac's biggest enemies. You usually jump in, in order to chunk every one and CC everyone. But that is exactly what Taric wants to get his ult off and turn the entire fight around.
Teemo
This champ cannot play against Zac. Blind does nothing. CC'd out of invis.
Thresh
Just like Janna hard counters Zac by perma peeling with his Flay and hooking your straight afterwards. Extremely not fun to play against.
Tristana
Try to burst her before she jumps away or gank her after she jumps in.
Trundle
Trundle ults you and you get obliterated. Jump away from him if he tries to 1v1 you but a good Trundle will save pillar for that so you get CC'd out of your E.
Tryndamere
CC is tryndamere's worst nightmare. He ults, you CC him, he cries.
Twisted Fate
E him if he gold cards you all in him he is immobile and cant play.
Twitch
BORK Twitch oneshots you. AP Twitch oneshots everybody. Dont let him get ahead by perma ganking his immobile champion and he cant play.
Udyr
Reworked Udyr that build bork thanos snaps you in 1v1's and in teamfights if you waste his Passive on empowered E that is a job well done because thats his worse empowered ability.
Urgot
Pick up health blobs if he ults you and try to buy time or else you will die. Basically a ranged cho'gath ult. His E stops/goes through your E.
Varus
AP varus oneshots you at 100% hp. That would put him in extreme category but Normal varus is immobile and can only ult to save his life.
Vayne
Permaban. True damage, cancels your E with her E, dashes out of your E. Literally a champ designed to counter Zac.
Veigar
His Cage stuns you mid air dont get ulted at low hp spam gank him so he does not get ahead. Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Vel'Koz
Careful of his ult, it does true damage. Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Vex
She can fear you with her shield right before you land making ganks impossible. Just a worst version of Janna however if she does not have fear up then its easy.
Vi
Vi shreds your armor and bullies you. Cancels your E with her knock ups and her Ult locks you down.
Viego
Peel him from your team and he cant play.
Viktor
Oneshot him. Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Vladimir
End the game before he scales. Harrass tf out of him and dont let him get kills or its gg. He can pool out of your ganks so wait for him to use it because it has like a 25 second cooldown or smth.
Volibear
Dont 1v1 him he loves long fights perma CC him in teamfights his only engage is Ult or Q you counter him.
Warwick
Keep an eye on him in the mini map and dont be afraid to back early because of his blood trail. You can heal your HP above half with smite + blobs though for the trail. Perma CC him in teamfights so he cant heal and he will rage. CC him during his ult to cancel it early.
Wukong
Shreds your armor peel your carries for his ult. He can W out of your E dont E a clone.
Xayah
She can ult your ganks dont walk in front of feathers or you take a lot of damage.
Xerath
Immoble Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Xin Zhao
Dont 1v1 him you hard outscale him late he will ult to stop your E just flash ult his team then.
Yasuo
Try to CC him so he cant tornado or dash away from you. His windwall blocks your Q so I advise Q'ing a minion then auto attacking him instead. Watch out after he ults he gets heavy armor penetration.
Yone
He can E out of your E if you CC him he cant play.
Yorick
CC maiden along side Yorick as well as Q the maiden and Yorick together he is tanky asf tho.
Yuumi
CC her when she hops off her ADC so she cant hop back on its GG. If she hops on a Carry then perma CC that carry then and force Yuumi to hop off.
Zed
If you CC him then you obliterate him dont let him shadow away he will ult you if you try to gank him just ult and he cant do anything. Peel your carries of Zed ult.
Zeri
This champ sucks rn.
Ziggs
Immobile Midlane champs are fish food for Zac.
Zilean
Zilean is so sleeper OP broken its insane dont let anyone tell you lies he is insanely broken but nobody plays him.
Zoe
Immobile Midlane champs are fish food for Zac. She will ult out of the way of your E just ult her or Q her when she comes back.
Zyra
Perma CC her she will ult you, you probably die if not 300 gold.
Zac
DONT MISS YOUR ONLY SKILL CC
Yasuo
Yasuo can ult if you knock up people. Get 5 man knockup and its gg.
Lulu
Can shield you + ult you if you go in giving extra CC + you dont have to constantly peel bc of Lulu's polymorph.
Seraphine
