About me

Hey guys!
I am Tr3ys and this is my first guide. First of all I want to apologize for my english because I am not a native english speaking person.
I am main Jungle in Platinum I and would like to share my experiences with you.
This guide is in a really early phase but im constantly working on it.
I would appreaciate feedback and I will answer on every comment.

About Zac

Zac is an AP Tank with high range, great sustain and probably best engage in whole League of Legends. He scales incredibly well into late game and deals decent damage even if build full tank. He is great for SoloQ and not very hard to master.

About this guide

This guide is mainly focused on SoloQ and it is aiming towards new players who have never even heard of that champ and experienced players who just want to learn some tricks.
Alright I think that's about it so let's go.

Greater Mark of Hybrid Penetration

I take these because you will do lots of auto-hits in the jungle which means it increases your clear speed.

Greater Quintessence of Armor AND Greater Seal of Scaling Health

Those make you incredibly tanky and the health synergizes very well with this build because you lack some HP because of Thornmail.
Also it is much more effective as if u would run Seal of Armor and Greater Quintessence of Scaling Health.

Here is the math to prove it:
9x Greater Seal of Scaling Health = 216 Health at 18
3x Greater Quintessence of Scaling Health = 146.8 Health at 18

3x Greater Quintessence of Armor = 13 Armor
9x Seal of Armor = 9 Armor

Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction

Since Zac doesn't have any limitations except for his Cooldowns you obviously should take it. You may think that you will get destroyed by Magic damage now but that is not true.
Zac has 32.1 Base Magic Resistance which not many champions have and you also get 5 Magic Resistance from Resistance .
If u add it up you only have 5 Magic Resistance less as if you would run Greater Glyph of Magic Resist.
Besides that, our build is very Magic Resistance heavy so you will not have any problems what so ever.

PROS:

- Great Sustain
- good Clear
- Scales well into late game
- has no real weak phase
- high mobillity
- best engage ingame
- Knock-up CC (that is important because Tenacity ( Tenacious etc.) does not work against Knock-ups)
- Very good at Teamfighting

CONS

- not good at dueling
- Crab is your biggest enemy (it is running from you so you won't get resets)
- hitting Elastic Slingshot is neccessary
- Elastic Slingshot is hard to hit if you are not used to it
