T1 Marksman - Gumayusi has shared his thoughts on the new champion Zeri.
In the early updates of the 2022 season that Riot brought to the League of Legends community, we can't overlook the new champion Zeri. This marksman introduced by Riot is said to hail from the city of Zaun. Her skill set revolves around electric sparks. It can be said that Zeri completely has the potential to become the fastest rising marksman in League of Legends history. With abilities like terrain traversal, 'hack speed', many even argue that Zeri is more suited to the role of an assassin rather than a traditional AD.

And Zeri has officially made her appearance on Summoner's Rift and received feedback from both regular players and professional players in the League of Legends community. Especially, recently, the prominent Marksman of T1 in particular and LCK in general - Gumayusi has commented on this new champion Zeri after experiencing several matches in the Korean ranked. In fact, Gumayusi even secured a Quadrakill with Zeri.

'I don't think this champion is good. Even if Zeri appears in the professional arena, nobody would bother picking her, especially in the current meta. Zeri's auto-attack mechanism is unattractive; I don't think she fits in this meta.'
In reality, even in Gumayusi's ranked games using Zeri, this champion's shots didn't pack the expected punch. Although Zeri can 'hack speed' with her ultimate R - Voltage Surge, speed alone doesn't mean much without enough damage output. Moreover, in professional matches, players have excellent positioning skills. Therefore, it will be challenging for Zeri to accumulate enough stacks for Overload to start shining.

At this current time, Zeri has only appeared on Summoner's Rift. With the feedback on the new champion, perhaps Riot will need to make many adjustments if they intend to bring Zeri into the professional scene so that this Zaun native doesn't become a 'fallen' case.
