League of Legends update nerfs Zeri Runann’s Hurricane interaction
Riot Games has rolled out a small follow-up update to League of Legends patch 12.2 to make some balance changes to the MOBA game's newest champion. Zeri, the Spark of Zaun, joined the live game last week with the arrival of the patch, but it seems her interactions with a key item have proved a bit too powerful so far, so the studio's nipped the issue in the bud.
"We just micro-patched out a nerf for Zeri's hurricane interaction," principal character designer August 'RiotAugust' Browning says on Twitter. "It was looking very strong." This relates to the champ's interaction with the legendary item Runaan's Hurricane, which it seems was adding a significant boost to Zeri's prowess on the Rift due to the way it worked alongside her ultimate, Lightning Crash. "R chain lightning is no longer an on-hit effect (which means hurricane bolts no longer apply it)", the dev explains.
So, it appears her ultimate's lightning attacks were capable of dealing some big damage to multiple foes by acting as on-hit effects when paired with the item in certain builds, which was giving Zeri just a little too much of an edge.
