Zoe Counter Guide

Stand opposite to Zoe in lane to make her Q and E abilities harder to land. Position yourself behind minions, never inside the wave, to avoid AOE damage from her Q.

Always track Zoe's stolen spells:

  • Aggressive spell: Expect immediate trades
  • Flash: Watch for increased mobility
  • Defensive spell: Prepare for harder kill potential

Team Fight Strategy:

  • Position far back to avoid sleep (E) at fight initiation
  • Force immediate engagement before she can poke
  • Clear vision to prevent picks
  • Take objectives when she's absent

Power Spikes:

  1. Level 6: Extended Q and E range, increased kill pressure
  2. First item: Significant damage increase and wave clear
  3. Mid-game: Peak pick potential and scaling

Strong Counters:

  • Naafiri
  • Talon
  • Aurelion Sol
  • Ekko
  • Akshan
