How are we feeling power wise? Do you think she could use another buff?
Zeri is sitting at ~49.5% Dia+ from the 46-47% she was last patch, which for her is a fairly balanced state but definitely not meta. She feels ok in my level of play and I win games without issue, the Q base damage buff definitely helped. No one is building Static anymore so her win rate is not likely a build issue anymore. Hard to say exactly how much that shifted her win rate vs the buff itself.
That said, if it was August's intention to put her back in the spotlight a little I don't think that has been achieved quite yet. Its been a while since she was a prominent pick and with these changes she still isn't going to be after these 2 patches which I think artificially bumped her pick rate up because she was mentioned. She is really close to being in a state id like to have her in she just needs a tiny bit more but she isn't in the patch notes. I think a +5 base MS buff to revert the long ago change would be the perfect thing to push her in the direction they want.
Again I don't think shes bad at all right now but AUGUST IF YOURE READING THIS maybe just another tiny bump would be good. I get if they want to just let her sit at 49 because its not a terrible spot for her to be in. It seems like the mini rework was intended to be a power neutral shift though and she was at like 51% before.
What do yall think?
EDIT: glad to see everyone is pretty happy with where she is. For the most part I am too. I love kiting out fights again. If you get to a few stacks of r you really feel the old zeri. It's great.
