How to beat Zac

Common role: Jungle

An elastic tank who stretch-pulls you in and bounces your whole team around.

What makes Zac dangerous

Zac stretches his arms to grab and pull an enemy (E is a long-range jump engage), knocks up with his Q, and his ultimate bounces around, knocking up and displacing everyone repeatedly. He revives from blobs on death and is a durable, mobile engage tank that starts fights from far away.

How to play against Zac

• 1Dodge his E jump — it's a long-range engage that knocks up on landing. Sidestep the telegraphed leap and his initiation fails.
• 2On death he splits into blobs that revive him — destroy the blobs fast (they're killable) to deny the second life.
• 3Spread out for his bouncing ult — it displaces multiple champions. Don't clump when it's up.
• 4Low personal damage — kite him and focus his carries. Tenacity shortens his knock-up chain.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓E engage is a dodgeable long jump.
• ✓Kill his blobs to deny the death revive.
• ✓Low personal damage — a peel/engage tank.
• ✓Spread teams deny his AoE displacement.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Zac's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Divisione cellulare

  Ogni volta che Zac colpisce un nemico con un'abilità, lascia cadere un pezzo di se stesso che può essere riassorbito per recuperare salute. Quando subisce danni fatali, Zac si divide in 4 masse che cercano di ricombinarsi. Se le masse sono intatte, torna in vita con una quantità di salute proporzionale a quella delle masse sopravvissute. Ogni massa ha una percentuale della salute massima, dell'armatura e della resistenza magica di Zac. L'abilità ha 5 minuti di ricarica.

  Strong: on death he splits into blobs that revive him. Weak: destroy the blobs fast (they're killable) to deny his second life.

• Q
  Colpi allungati

  Zac allunga un braccio, afferrando un nemico. Attaccare un nemico diverso gli fa lanciare i bersagli uno contro l'altro.

• W
  Materia instabile

  Zac esplode verso l'esterno, in direzione dei nemici nelle vicinanze, ai quali infligge una percentuale della loro salute massima in danni magici.

• E
  Catapulta elastica

  Zac attacca le braccia al terreno e si tende all'indietro, per poi lanciarsi in avanti.

  Strong: a long-range jump that knocks up on landing — his engage. Weak: a telegraphed leap — sidestep it and his initiation fails.

• R
  Boing!

  Zac rimbalza quattro volte, lanciando in alto i nemici colpiti e rallentandoli.
