How to beat Zoe

Common role: Mid

A burst mage who one-shots with a long-range sleepy bubble and stolen summoner spells.

What makes Zoe dangerous

Zoe fires a huge-damage skillshot (Q) that scales with distance, puts you to sleep with her E bubble (waking you for double damage), and steals summoner spells and item actives to reuse them. Her combo — sleep into a max-range Q — deletes squishies from off-screen. Her whole threat is landing the sleep bubble.

How to play against Zoe

• 1Dodge her E sleep bubble — it's a slow, bouncing skillshot and the setup for her one-shot. Stand behind minions and sidestep it; no sleep, no burst.
• 2If you get slept, stay near allies — her Q hits hardest from long range, and ally damage wakes you early. Don't be isolated when the bubble lands.
• 3Watch what summoner spell she stole (her W) — she can reuse a Flash, Ignite or item active. Play around it.
• 4She's immobile besides her E return-dash. Dive her or all-in when her sleep and Q are on cooldown.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Sleep bubble is a slow, dodgeable skillshot.
• ✓No burst without landing the sleep.
• ✓Immobile besides her E dash.
• ✓Squishy; magic resist and diving punish her.
