It is already known how will Riot nerf Zeri in the upcoming patch for LoL. What exactly will change?
Riot with further nerfs for Zeri. What exactly are LoL designers planning to change?
A lot of talk about Zeri has been present lately. The heroine had a premiere just a week ago, which also aroused extremely different emotions. Some felt she was unplayable because she was so strong, and others wrote that the new character was useless and did not deal any damage. A few days after the release, her win rate increased from less than 40% to 52%, and players finally got used to the fact that Zeri is not an ordinary ADC.
Ultimately, the designers were forced to release some nerfs before the next full update came out. During one of the broadcasts, Riot August said that the nerfs weren’t enough and the team is continuing to look at the heroine’s situation.
What exactly will be changed?
Even though one of the Rioters informed the fans that the studio was still looking closely at Zeri, and the heroine had more nerfs coming, it was not known exactly what the balancing team was planning to improve.
The designer later, however, shared the initial list of amendments, which is as follows:
- Base stats
- Hero’s movement speed reduced from 330 to 325
- Basic attack damage based on the target’s maximum health has been reduced
- Lightning Crash (R)
- Attack boost bonus damage has been reduced
- Attack boost bonus damage can now critically hit
At the moment, the exact values of the changes that the Rioters will introduce are not known yet. The ultimate skill tweaks are sure to make Critical Chance much more useful for Zeri. If the changes are really drastic, maybe her characteristic build will change into one that better resembles the set of items that could be found in the inventory of a typical shooter.
