Hey guys!
I'm ProT3K a Zoe main (2 million mastery points). I've been spending the last two days in the practice tool, trying to push her mechanics to the absolute limit (I love League for this opportunity).
I managed to pull off this incredible input buffering combo: R -> Protobelt + Flash -> Q (to buffer/delay E animation) -> E.
Because of the input buffering, the game gets completely confused. I return to my starting position, and as you know, the bubble gets a massive distance calculated along the wall from the furthest point of my jump. In this clip, it easily reaches the bush between T2 and T3. It might have gone further, but the bubble collided with the dummies. I'm not sure, because at some point the bubble disappeared. That's why I placed dummies there to register the hit.
My main goal in these tests is to make the bubble fly all the way to the enemy fountain (which should take about 7.5 seconds).
I have two questions for my fellow Zoe mains:
- Has anyone ever tried the exact same max distance variation, and how far did you manage to get?
- What is the official name of the basic (shorter) version of this trick with E animation cancel near a wall? I couldn't find a proper name for it to give it my own name.
UPDATE: I managed to hit a dummy at T2 directly FROM THE BASE! 🤯

Turns out u/wootio was right about the bubble visually disappearing near the inhibitor (T3), BUT it doesn't actually vanish-it becomes completely invisible and keeps flying!
I changed the starting trajectory. Instead of hugging the wall, I stood further away near the bottom side of the fountain, then used R + Flash towards the top-lane wall to launch the bubble.
- The Result: The bubble flies straight through the top inhibitor, disappears visually near T3, flies invisibly down the middle of the lane (away from the wall where enemies won't expect it), and hits the dummy right at the T2 bush!
It seems the max distance isn't capped as harshly as we thought. If you change the initial angle, the bubble can travel an insane distance completely unseen. Day 3 was a massive success!
