Zoe's power stems from her ability to poke and make picks. Here's how to counter her effectively:
Core Counter Strategy:
- Position opposite to her in lane to avoid Q and E abilities
- Stay behind minions, never inside the wave due to Q's AoE damage
- Track her stolen summoner spells and adapt accordingly
- Maintain safe distance during teamfights to avoid sleep (E) ability
