Riot would seem to be done with continually nerfing Zeri. This is incorrect. Matt “Phroxzon”, Leung-Harrison today confirmed that Zeri would get another nerf for Patch 12.16. Why do they continue to nerf a champion who has a 46% win rate at Solo Queue?

This situation isn’t anything new. Ryze, for example, is a champion often seen in pro play but has one of the lowest win rates in Solo Queue because of all the nerfs he has gotten. So basically, Ryze can be difficult to balance in a way that works both for Solo Queue and pro play, and we are now seeing similar patterns with Zeri.
