Riot changes the newest shooter to LoL. Zeri is scheduled to be rebalanced in patch 12.11.
A week ago, a major update marked 12.10 hit the official League of Legends servers. It has changed the healing, shields, and stamina of all heroes, making them a bit more difficult to eliminate.
Such large changes destroy the balance and cause some characters to win or lose far more games than they should. One of the aggrieved parties is Zeri, whose current WinRate is around 46%. As a result, Riot is announcing her buffs in Update 12.11.
Zeri’s buffs in patch 12.11
After the release of The Spark of Zaun, she wreaked havoc for a long time and was often picked not only in the ranked queue but also by professionals at important tournaments. Eventually, she was nerfed and her win rate stabilized at a normal level. Now after the 12.10 update, it has dropped to 46%.
The changes she will receive in the next update have been announced by Riot August. The creators want to transfer her current strength resulting from utility and mobility later in the game to higher damage, lower skill cooldowns, and critting through walls with her “W”.
