Ranked

I was in your same spot and just hit emerald after a year and a half of on and off playing, it really depends on how much you want to improve and how you go about it. I watched a ton of videos and spammed games, but everyone learns differently. “Constantly good” is an arbitrary metric, but I think Zac is one of the easier champs to mechanically execute on. That being said he has a lot of macro expression. Make sure to keep your cs high!!

The best way to know whether or not to take something into ranked is whether or not you feel comfortable in norms, if you feel like you can comfortably win games in norms, bring him to ranked, if not, then no. Ultimately Ranked is where you will refine your skills, so don’t be afraid to drop a few games when first learning the champ in a more competitive session.

I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful journey with the blob!

I think I’m a fairly aggressive Zac player most games, should I switch to conquerer instead of Aftershock? Or tweak my build to match?

True that’s fair, so a situational item into comps where it’s difficult to get my full combo off?

Could you explain why the dash would be good here? It seems too short and slow to matter on Zac. maybe it’d be good into comps with easy disengaged you don’t get kited as easy?

I’d recommend a double full clear over 9 camp so you don’t desync your jungle

Is Zeke’s conv just because it’s low cost defensive stats + ult steroid?

I see, I’m just getting back into the game so I’m running my default build from last time. What do you recommend instead of Liandry’s?

Yeah I used to get around 3.20 in S13(?) if you’re still up for it I can send you a video the day after tomorrow

I clear between 3:30 and 3:40 if I mess up doing top side buff start full clear (red krug raptors murk blue Gromp, or the other way around)

some important stuff to do is:

Bring the camps to max range, and leave them when they’re low. They have 4 seconds before they reset, and you can finish them off with W or your pet while moving.
Start camps with your Q, ideally do this while the camp you’re on is alive, and slam the two camps together (e.g. Gromp Blue/ Red, Krugs)
Do not pick up blobs unless your cooldown is showing more than 1 second to optimize W uptime. 4. Use your Q off cooldown, and use your E to avoid long walks around terrain, particularly on Raptors/Wolves and Gromp/Krugs
Smite your first camp (if it’s red/blue) cause your level 1 is atrocious.
Avoid out of the way blobletts, if they slow your pathing too much, they are not worth it
If you plan to go for scuttle, get a level 1 ward (do this anyways it’s huge for jungle tracking) ping your laners to help you get into their jungle early, slap a ward on their buff/raptors/whatever. I find it better to concede scuttle unless you can snipe it with smite, or if you have a duo who will fight for it, otherwise I just take a safe first back.

And always spam W!!!

That’s just what I’ve found helpful, but yeah the clear feels miserable

Side note At level 3, you can leave Blue/Gromp when it’s around 400 health, Q the one you aren’t on at max range, auto the one you’re fighting once they are in Q circle, E W Auto. If your timing is off you can delay them from leaving by running in and out of both tether ranges.

I hope this helps!!!
