LoL: Nerf for being uninteresting? Check out Rioter’s talk about Zac

There is a champion who receives nerf for being out of the curve, or for having reigned competitively for a long time. But in the case of Zacthe nerf was due to the champion being… uninteresting.

Zac receives nerf for being uninteresting, according to Rioter

According to Riot Phroxzon, leader in designing the champions’ gameplay – and also for changes – said that in patch 14.8 Zac will suffer nerfs.

Despite appearing competitively, the reason for the nerf on Zac is not exactly his strength, check out Rioter’s speech:

For now, he’s not technically an outsider, but his lane phase is relatively uninteresting. We’re going to reduce his strength, just a little, especially to ensure that jungle is Zac’s most powerful role.

Zac non-competitive

Contrary to Riot’s wishes, Zac top is much more effective than in the jungle. So far in competition, the champion has 100 games and 51% of victory, and in the jungle they are just 18 games and 38.9% of victory.

Adding the selection of major regions, the number improves for Zac jungle, but the presence drops sharply: there are only four appearances and two wins (50%). In the same cut, but for Zac top, they were 18 matches with 55.6% of victories.

Was it fair to choose Zac to receive nerf?
