Zac Matchups Overview

Zac General information

Zac tips and tricks

Group and play around your Ultimate Let's Bounce!R. Zac’s kit is very good in team fights and he can easily chain CC with it. Before going in though, always make sure your team is ready to follow up and go in with you.

If the enemy laner is freezing, you can look to use your Ultimate Let's Bounce!R in the mid lane and get a kill. Zac has lots of kill pressure for a tank and can get his allies ahead through roaming.

Go for short bursty trades often to get the enemy low. Avoid committing to a fight in the laning phase as you cannot win them. Once you’ve got your first item, you will be able to go for extended trades.
