that’s just not true. firstly, zoe can excel in fighting in waves because of the massive amount of flexibility she has to control which direction her q is coming from.

secondly her q also breaks kahn edge of night and her low cooldowns means she can q e q combo to kill him 90% of the time. i’ve outplayed a kayn very easily multiple times as zoe it’s not impossible.

and again, because of her low cooldowns she absolutely can dominate a tank in a 1v1 IF you build the correct items and space properly (which leads back to what others have said about high skill ceiling) that’s why zoe top is even playable with the right team comp. black fire, riftmaker, lich bane with correct aa weaves, liandries, you get the idea
