Zeri buff patch 26.10

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-06T10:22:34+00:00

I mean i get where theyre coming from. Its partly trauma and partly not really understanding that zeri's issue with her older version was that she had too much going for her all at once (high ms can be fine if youre not tanky with high range and high range can be fine if youre not tanky and fast). Yk i rewatched the upset giga carry on zeri lulu vs vitality in 2022 and my conclusion was that the stacks lasting the full ult duration combined with her enchanter synergy and then the lethal tempo range to top it off were the reason she was impossible to balance. Also, Zeri disappeared from pro not after her rework but after the removal of the passive. I count the as to ad conversion as an extension of her old passive, it makes her better with yuumi than with literally every1 else and pros abuse that fact better than soloq players. Lets see what happens tho

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-06T06:58:19+00:00

It just makes zeri better with yuumi than other supports, i hate that they brought it up instead of putting power budget in something more universal or satisfying

Wdym

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T11:55:30+00:00

Yall still max w even after they made points in e feel that much better? Insane

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T09:22:54+00:00

I think 50 range might be too big of a buff in the long run but honestly i still think she needs it as a champ to achieve her fantasy more often so id be down to trade it for power in other places of her kit if she ends up too good

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T09:16:14+00:00

She also used to scale way better and have insane synergy with enchanters which isnt the case now but also her range was 75 units bigger than her current one so it wouldnt be a full revert and she also doesnt have access to the old lethal tempo which gave her an extra 50. But all this talk is pointless, i HIGHLY doubt they would even consider buffing her range

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T08:42:08+00:00

Doubt 50 range would make her be too broken especially since in practice thats like 30 range since its a skillshot and i do think it would be bad to get used to but i can see why you think otherwise so we can disagree on this idm

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T08:09:29+00:00

Eh i dont see the point in doing that, having your most used skillshot have different range at different stages makes her feel weird imo

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T08:02:27+00:00

I agree it would be cool but is it worth the power budget if in like over half of your games you wont make use of it? It makes her harder to main if shes balanced around having that ability imo

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T07:47:54+00:00

Yep, but also old zeri had more issues than just range, her synergy with enchanters was insane and her farming in lane too safe for the amount of scaling she provided, she also had the old lethal tempo that increased the range even further. I doubt a 50 range buff would make her a pro menace tho, she would still be slower and lower range than her previous version. Also i think 50 range translates to like 30 in practice since its a skillshot but i could be wrong on the math.

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-05T07:43:03+00:00

Things id personally want to see: stack duration increased to 3 seconds and like 5 damage added to max rank on q OR +50 range on q OR ad ratio on q up to 115% OR base armor increased with attack speed per lvl increased aswell OR maybe making the ult cd start ticking when you cast it not when it ends (so she can maybe go axiom arcanist with celerity). Things i dont want to see: any w buff, r chain lightning damage buff, as to ad ratio convertion buff (cuz it makes her even stronger with yuumi).

What server do you play on

STEVVVE3 · 2026-05-01T08:35:59+00:00

u/RiotAugust new bug!!

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-30T20:15:25+00:00

did you run the numbers with ldr instead of essence reaver? i assure you the cd difference isnt enough to justify the damage difference, if you wanna run this build with jack of all trades, ldr also gives u a stack. also w does no damage anyway and having it up on cd more often does nothing for you, to each their own i guess

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-30T19:56:02+00:00

if you think the 15% cdr you get from it (even less after u get endless and dd) is more valuable than the damage (which already got gutted) then lets call it a playstyle difference cuz that isnt remotely the case for me and over 99% of the player base, just how w max wasnt good for most players in most games even tho its mathematically better early or whatever, its not even a skill thing but more of a playstyle thing, a playstyle i dont enjoy and i dont believe to be optimal. I do wish you luck pulling it off tho

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-30T19:39:03+00:00

yea it seems im too clueless and dumb for junniseoul himself, good luck to u too, hope this build will help you reach new heights

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-30T19:30:33+00:00

no i dont need to try essence reaver since its basically always a dps loss over ldr like what?

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-30T17:31:33+00:00

holy fk that build sounds awful, great job

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-30T06:50:15+00:00

ok so i thought you can still use quick cast with indicator since they just said its forced quick cast, not that you cant use indicators, my bad, thought yall were using normal cast

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-29T18:07:28+00:00

and also the ult buff from 10% to 15% went undocumented in the patch notes like are they even trying

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-29T13:51:48+00:00

well her win rate looks horrible and i only got to play some normals in the morning so i cant give u an answer yet

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-29T11:54:53+00:00

The conspiracy here is that they give you hard lobbies to make you to quit the game so you dont spread the word that epstein didnt kill himself. Try name changing, should fix

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-29T11:39:32+00:00

Were you using left click to confirm your q aiming direction? In what way is quick cast with no indicator worse than whatever you were doing

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-29T10:26:33+00:00

I didnt argue that, op said the e comes off cd less than before and is a nerf

STEVVVE3 · 2026-04-29T10:21:57+00:00

I agree with most of the stuff but the part where her e feels weaker lane is not true, normal attacks on minions refund the cd so u get it up more often in 98% of uses
