Zac Top, 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 top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 52.5% win rate, 0.4% pick rate, 5,020 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 Sunfire Aegis, Thornmail, Spirit Visage, which holds a 52.7% win rate across 182 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
