How to play Zoe in ARAM Mayhem

Zoe is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #131 of 173 champions, with a 47.4% win rate over 552,141 games.

80% of Zoe's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down. A notable 15% of it is true damage. It dies only 9.4 times per game on average, fewer than most.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Luden's Echo, Stormsurge and Rabadon's Deathcap, with a 46.5% win rate over 409,262 games. For boots, Sorcerer's Shoes are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Zoe are Biggest Snowball Ever, Hand of Baron and Big Brain. Cards built around ability power fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Skip Rite of Ascension and Dashing when you can: they do worst on Zoe. A pair to look for: Goldrend with Weapon of Destiny.

Take Flash and Ignite (7% of players); Ghost is the common alternative. Max Q (Paddle Star!) first, then E, then W.
