Zoe Mid, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Zoe's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Zoe is an AP mage in the mid, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 52.1% win rate, 3.1% pick rate, 35,771 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Zoe 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 Zoe wins: sieging objectives and turrets with sustained pressure. The kit grades 7/10 siege. Zoe grades low on disengage and split-push (3/10, 2/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.
