Zac will need more than just his Ult reverted to bring back his fun playstyle

The Zac rework caused a lot of issues for Zac, and many of the people who regularly played him stopped. It removed a lot of versatility and freedom in his kit in exchange for raw CC.

Riot has realized that this has made Zac good in pro play while more weak for the most other players so they are reverting his ult.

However, this won't solve Zac's problems. Take a look at this old Zac montage.. Notice that only by constantly picking up every single available blob while moving around the fight can Zac stay alive. With Zac's new Q, this would not be possible. Zac has to cast the ability, auto, and then he gets rooted for .5 seconds while he slams the targets together. It can actually take over 1.5 seconds to fully cast sometimes. It completely kills the flow of what is supposed to be one of the most movement reliant tanks.

I think if Riot wants to solve the problems of the Zac rework, they should go all out and simply revert him. Zac was already one of the most popular and balanced tanks at the time, I feel like reverting only the ult could possibly leave him in an even worse state for another 2 years until he gets attention again.

Hi, thanks for showing my montage. I feel like it represents what people miss about the old Zac. His mobility and how fluid everything felt was key. The ult revert is a step in the right direction, but he’ll need a q revert and a revert on the e nerf to be able to make plays like that.

I'd rather have them change the passive blob numbers than revert the Q. It's more fun and interactive and also more powerful if you pull it off.

I actually like the new ult too but yeah the old one was more fun to use and also more useful more often

Never played old Zac, but he looks a bit more fun compared to the current one.

Old Zac isn't as fun as new Zac. His Q is simply less fun and so is his R.

Point click abilities with no potential and super. Bland outcomes aren't fun.

Point to slow. Press to Knock back. This is literally the definition of poor and bland. Not fun.

New Zac might be clunky, but is By far more fun. Or at least potentially more fun.

Again, there is nothing fun in press button to do bland thing. Is absolutely unfun and should never be in the game. Abilities with 0 interaction and 0 potential which go from from 0 impact before you throw it and 100 impact after you land it are boring, one sided, feast and famine and overall a Terrible design.

Fck they are reverting the ult? I freakin love that ult! Im going to stop playing Zac then.

Yes, I only picked him up recently, but still, this is my perspective. Its legit one of my favourite ults in the game and I love Zac the way he is.

Alot of people are the same as you as new Zac offers interactions and not just: succede because you landed an ability that has no interaction.

But this is reddit, people will always advocate for reverts even when they are stupid, because the important is not having an Opinion but going aganist riot.
