When it comes to professional play in League of Legends, Zeri is often the first champion that comes to mind. She has been one of the strongest marksman in the competitive meta for several months, dominating the scene.
Since her introduction in early 2022, Zeri has been a staple pick in the competition. Although she had been absent from the League of Legends scene for a few months, her recent mini-rework has put her back on top of the meta.
Currently, Zeri can be seen in almost every professional match. She is picked or banned in nearly every game and has a presence of over 80%, which meets the threshold required for a champion to receive nerfs. As a result, Riot Games is planning to nerf her in Patch 13.7.
Despite her dominance, Zeri's reign may be coming to an end. With the upcoming nerfs, many are questioning whether she will still be viable for professional play. Fans and players alike are curious to see how Zeri's popularity and win rate will be affected by the changes in Patch 13.7.
The upcoming Patch 13.7 includes nerfs for Zeri, which may seem minor at first glance. However, when considering the indirect nerfs from Patch 13.6, the overall impact on Zeri could be significant.
Here are all the Zeri nerfs:
- HP Growth: 115 > 110
- Passive Shield Steal: 60% > 50%
- R ability AD Ratio : 100% > 85%
In the latest patch, Riot made adjustments to various Marksmen items such as Bloodthirster and Navori Quickblades. These alterations are expected to have an impact on Zeri's performance as the champion heavily relies on these items and abilities for success. Although the changes to Zeri may not be significant, they should result in a toned-down version of the champion.
The changes made by Riot can be categorized as both direct and indirect nerfs for Zeri. Overall, these changes should create a more balanced competitive environment in which no single champion is overwhelmingly dominant. So, all these changes should put Zeri out of the competitive League of Legends.
