Zeri has been underperforming recently, so we’ve reworked her kit to zap her gameplay back to life. Previously, her strength has been heavily tied to specific enchanter supports, forcing our balance decisions around those pairings. We want her to perform consistently well with a wider range of support partners, so we’ve removed her shield-based interactions and shifted the former first ability passive into her base passive. To enhance the impact of her ultimate, she can now extend its duration by attacking enemies and chaining lightning through Overcharge’s splash effect. We’ve also adjusted the crit scaling and damage structure across her abilities, which are currently undertuned, to ensure healthier and more reliable performance overall.

Even after our last nerf, Zeri is still too strong. We’re taking another swing, and this time aiming to strike down some of her electrifying strength in the late game.

Players have acclimated to Zeri’s lightning fast and zippy combat pattern, and she is overperforming at all ranks. So, we’re stuffing lightning back in the bottle and lowering her damage and reach.
