With the passive auto range being fixed/increased and likely due to other factors (not building statik) her win rate has climbed from 46.5% to 47.5%. Do you think that this calls for a buff and if so what buffs would you like to see.
The main ones I see being done are likely increases to her damage, but I would like to see q range increased instead but I feel like the wouldn’t do it.
Played 5 games on new Zeri so here are my thoughts for those who haven't tried her yet. Happy to answer any questions.
Builds
Tried Yun Tal Runaans, Stormrazor Runaans, and Statik. Stormrazor felt the best but that might just be the movement speed dopamine talking. Statik was better than I expected, still probably not the go-to though. With Yun Tal you hit the AS cap really fast so I think skipping Berserkers is actually viable now. I ran the omnivamp boots but they didn't feel like they were doing much, probably because I'm used to old Zeri where the damage made omnivamp feel insane. Tabis and other situational boots feel more worth it than before as zerkers arent as good.
EDIT - I tested her Omnivamp and it has been fixed to not be a 33% effectiveness as it was before, I think it just felt worse for me as she does less damage now, therefore less healing.
Runes
LT felt better early and laning was more fun with it, but given her lategame is already weaker now Conqueror is probably the smarter pick overall.
Starting item
Blade feels better than bow because of the health but I can see people preferring bow, it just wasn't great when I used it and I felt that the health and extra ad/omnivamp was just better for lane.
Overall
You can feel the move speed in fights and it's genuinely fun. But the damage nerf is very real W lost a lot, E in lane felt weaker than expected partly due to the cooldown increasing alongside the buff, and honestly the damage loss probably outweighs the speed gain. She has become harder to play because you get bailed out by your crazy damage and have to play fights better with kiting etc. Happy that she gets her identity back but the damage reduction feels really different to play.
