I recently started a few days ago. I decided to buy Zeri after the tutorial. So she is who I have been playing pretty much every game. Also I played a bit of Msfortune and Brand who they gave me free. I cannot play ranked yet until level 30. But I have been playing SR Normal Draft since level 10. I usually do pretty decent in my games.
So I played a few draft games with some grandmasters yesterday. We were on Discord while playing. We won some and lost some. Part of losing I think is because of me. From the scores after the game, I was pretty far behind everybody. I was struggling to keep up. I usually am able to reach 50 CS by 10min and 100 by 20min. It was a struggle for me while teamed up with them. Especially against high opponents. I don't expect to play as well as my higher teammates. But I was definitely having much difficulty contributing.
They mentioned they did not like Zeri. They were not abusive or anything. But a few of them said she is just bad. One teammate mentioned she is a bit more difficult for beginners to use. But others said that she is just bad in general. They mentioned her abilities don't do much. And others like Yunara are just objectively better. Personally I find her wall attack very strange. That you need to go behind a structure to get the full effect.
A. Is there any validity to what they are saying about Zeri being a poor design and a bad pick? Im very high ranked in RTS. I figured Zeri would be a good choice to learn since I like to move around allot. And I am used to constantly clicking and pressing buttons. And I thought she would be a pretty balanced pick. Like a good choice for the team. Not something teammates do not like having on the team.
B. I'm curious about her wall bean. It seems like a really strange design choice. I was able to get a nice hit on an enemy while sliding on a wall and firing that beam. But I have a hard time figuring out if it is actually a good spell.I just don't really understand it
C. Since some have mentioned she is good. Yes I highly enjoy her. I don't see myself enjoying others as much. If anybody good at Zeri wants to go healer with me at bottom to give me some pointers that would be great.
Thanks!
