Zac Mid, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Zac's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Zac is an AP tank in the mid, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 50.8% win rate, 0.2% pick rate, 1,890 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Zac is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Zac wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Zac tips the fight, and landing engage and starting fights on Zac's terms. The kit grades 10/10 teamfighting, 9/10 engage, 7/10 roaming. Zac's soft spots are siege and split-push (3/10, 2/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.
The most-played core build is Hollow Radiance, Spirit Visage, Thornmail, which holds a 43.5% win rate across 23 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
