Alright, folks, gather ’round, ’cause I gotta tell ya about my latest adventure in the wild world of gaming. Today’s topic: how I went about trying to counter that pesky Zeri.
So, picture this: I’m in a game, right? Things are going okay, and then bam, the enemy team picks Zeri. Now, I’ve tangled with this electric speedster before, and let me tell you, it’s not a walk in the park. I scratched my head for a bit, thinking, “How am I gonna deal with this?”

First thing I did was look up some stuff online. What do you know, there are plenty of other folks who’ve had the same headache. One name that kept popping up was Draven. Apparently, this dude with the spinning axes is pretty good at keeping Zeri in check. Makes sense, I guess. If you can out-damage her, that’s half the battle won.
But here’s the thing, I’m not exactly a Draven god, you know? I figured I’d just keep it simple. If Zeri pops her ultimate, that AOE attack and speed boost, it’s probably best to just avoid her like the plague. Discretion is the better part of valor and all that jazz. I got into a few games, tried to put this into practice. Sometimes it worked, sometimes I got zapped. It’s a learning process, right?
Then I started looking at the bigger picture. I saw some stats saying Zeri’s a bit of a late bloomer, strongest around the 35-40 minute mark. Before that, at 25-30 minutes, she’s not as scary. So, I thought, “Okay, maybe the key is to shut her down early, before she gets too powerful.” Easier said than done, but hey, it’s a strategy.
- Tried picking champions that can burst her down fast.
- Focused on getting objectives early to snowball the game.
- Prayed to the RNG gods for good teammates.
I even looked up some specific counter picks. Besides Draven, I saw names like Viktor, Swain, Yasuo, and Seraphine. I gave a couple of them a shot, had mixed results. It really depends on who you’re comfortable playing, I guess.
On the flip side, I saw that Zeri’s pretty good against Kalista, Ezreal, and Samira. Good to know, I’ll try to avoid picking those into her. Every little bit helps, right?
In the end, after a bunch of games, my win rate against Zeri was, well, let’s just say it was a rollercoaster. It is not high, but I felt that I learned a lot. The main takeaway? There’s no magic bullet. It’s all about adapting, trying different things, and just playing smart. But, this is the beauty of the game, it keeps you on your toes, always learning.
So that’s my story, folks. Hope you got something out of my rambling. Remember, every game’s a new adventure. Keep experimenting, keep learning, and most importantly, have fun. Cheers!
