Riot Games is swinging the nerf club on the botlane. Zeri, Yuumi, and ADC and support items are getting weaker
The LoL Patch 13.12 goes live on the live servers on June 15. And one thing stands out at first glance: the wind is to be taken out of the Botlane’s sails.
Zeri keeps mutating into a problem child
Despite several attempts within the past patches to bring the ADC into balance, Riot Games has to crack down again. Zeri benefited greatly from the resurgence of the Trinity Force item and the Enchanter buffs.
Now synergies are being capped with her kit based on the Sheen item and shields. But there are not only nerfs for the young woman from Zaun:
BaseStats
- Movement Speed: 300 -☻ 335
Passive – Live Battery
- When Zeri received a shield, her running speed increased. At the same time, she absorbed 45% percent of the enemy’s shield. Both effects are removed.
- Q-Passive has been moved here. Passive Auto Attacks still activate Sheen. However, only when the passive is fully charged.
Q – Fire Blast
- Basic Attack Passive of Q has been transferred to Passive.
- Fire Strike no longer activates Sheen.
E – Overvoltage
- On-Hit Crit Scaling: 65% -☻ 85%
It remains to be seen if Zeri can continue to show such great carry potential with this in Pro Play.
What else is changing?
In addition to the Zeri changes, some items experience weakenings and top laner are adjusted.
