Zac Mid is currently one of the highest win rate picks in League of Legends
For many players, Zac is the usual tank jungler champion with strong crowded-control skills and a reliable combat start. However, it is quite interesting that in the Preseason 2023, he emerged as one of the strongest mid-lane champions.
According to League statistics op.gg, the win rate of the champion in the mid-lane is up to 54.59%, currently one of the highest in League of Legends.
So how did Zac reach this place? According to many players, the direct cause of the rising of this champion in the mid lane was the new preseason item Jak’Sho, The Protean. Possessing this item after Sunfire Aegis will make Zac incredibly hard to kill, while still dealing huge damage to the opponents.
Moreover, The Secret Weapon’s ability to reach ideal positions helps him create huge pressure in the middle of the combat. At this time, normal midlaners usually had to stay in their lane to clear troops, heading for main items. Meanwhile, Zac is a resistant champion with cheaper, more reliable items, so he can roam comfortably through other lanes to help them.
Creating high pressure is extremely important as Zac will help teammates occupy the map. From there, the opponent will be gradually pushed to the base, thus, creating more advantages for your teammates. This will help the whole team create a big difference with the opponent and win in the end.
In fact, this gameplay has been around for a long time when it was used at the Worlds 2022 by the VCS representative, Saigon Buffalo. However, it wasn’t until Jak’Sho, The Protean appeared that this gameplay really became powerful and highly effective.
In summary, with Jak’Sho The Protean’s greater strength, Zac mid is incredibly powerful in the current meta. If you need a good climbing alternative for the new season, this one is a great option.
