LoL: Top 15 Counter Picks for Zoe in Mid Lane
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:

- Force immediate engagement before she can poke
- Clear vision to prevent picks
- Take objectives when she's absent
Power Spikes:
- Level 6: Extended Q and E range, increased kill pressure
- First item: Significant damage increase and wave clear
- Mid-game: Peak pick potential and scaling
Strong Counters:
- Naafiri
- Talon
- Aurelion Sol
- Ekko
- Akshan
