Oooops

Seems that I deleted something I did not intend to. Anyway smiteless is not for level 2 gank, but for blue then red then with smote and gank, smite for quick level 2 gank. Still the halved regen Zac now has does not allow him to "spam" his abilities so much, before getting some items, since he will not heal it with the blobs and wont have enough regen to cover up for it + they have decreased his clearing time with the nerfs in his damage output, so yep his early ganks are less effective and more risky.

Again I'm not saying that nerfing his damage was ot neccessary, but in combination with the nerfs on his sustainability I think its too much.
