Having Zoe's W be basically Unsealed Spellbook would be interesting if that rune didn't exist.

But as is, giving Zoe a rune as her W means she essentially gets 2 runes every game, and would likely just be seen as a lazy bandaid solution.

Even just changing it to summoners and no active items, like David said, would probably help a lot. Redemption gets her assists or saves other lanes, and anything damaging is broken because no one in the game has the money for that kind of added damage. Plus her W also has damage, so level 2, if she gets good RNG, she can Paddle star + W protobelt from a minion + W bubbles + ignite + W bubbles again, and if she's been poking you a bit you just cannot survive that. That's my issue. She leaves little room for outplay when she's in meta.

Maybe she could pick up actives but only once other people have them, instead of from minions.

Or have something she can pick up near base, like Corki's package, instead of just being able to pick up a ton of damage and healing in lane.
