League of Legends: Father of Zeri Bows in Defeat to 'Rebellious Offspring' after 22 Revisions

All attempts to balance Zeri have become meaningless when in the hands of skilled players or professional gamers. Riot August has been forced to speak up and acknowledge that the 'unruly child' Zeri is a tough knot in his champion design career.

Since its release, Zeri has always been a nightmare not only for LoL players but also for the game balance team. At present, Zeri's pentakill rate is still very high despite being nerfed 22 times in consecutive patches.

In addition to constantly updating hot metas or providing high-quality guides to TFT players, S-Games is building a Discord community, aiming to create a fresh playground and a gathering place for genuine 'red dogs.' If you're a TFT player struggling with ranked matches or simply lacking sportsmanship, don't rush to disconnect but join the S-Games Discord community right away.JOIN THE S-GAMES DISCORD NOW!

In a recent livestream, Riot August candidly shared with fans about the status of Zeri. Specifically, Riot stated: 'Honestly, we don't want to see Zeri appearing in professional tournaments. We've tried to keep this champion as weak as possible, but it failed. That's my fault. Zeri could have been better if I were a better designer.' 

An imbalanced champion has become too familiar to LoL players. However, Riot taking proactive responsibility like August is quite rare. Many players highly appreciate this action and empathize with Riot August. Alongside encouragement, players also don't forget to mention his successful champions like Jhin, Senna, or Jinx.

Currently, while Zeri remains a puzzle, its presence in professional tournaments is not significant. For instance, at the 2023 Worlds, almost all teams overlooked this choice in the Swiss rounds. Therefore, whether to rework or delete Zeri will still require a lot of consideration. Hopefully, the article has provided you with useful information, and see you in the next seasons!
