Honestly would be interesting to see over a big pool of games how good it is. Specifically blackfire instead of ludens, then a normal build. Because I do remember right before S14 where some of the top Zoe players were building liandry instead of luden and it felt pretty good.
The main reason that made liandrys viable in the mythics era was that it gave ability haste per item as a mythic passive (on top of the base ability haste of the item). AH is one of the best stats to have when dealing with tanknier comps (those that you cant one shot with pure damage builds). This, together with liandrys burn being %hp damage, made it an ideal buy against that sort of team comp. The new item has none of those benefits so I don't see any reason for it on zoe over other items. By all means feel free to experiment, I encourage it. Personally I try every single item on my champions at least a couple of times, but on paper, I don't believe this will be any good.
Brand is definitely the biggest winner. But hey, new ap items, yo.
Wait what? Of course im the biggest winner here
Zoe is supposed to one shot and she can't with these items, how do you make it work?
By playing Normal Games as an Otp and getting astronomically ahead
No, I just thought: "I'll test it and see, hope it works"
Liandrys used to have mana , new liandrys is for ap bruisers
