A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At C tier, Zeri is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Zeri Bot games. The hardest matchups this patch are Jinx (36.4% win rate for Zeri) and Yunara (45.0% win rate for Zeri): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Ezreal (59.6%) and Jhin (56.0%) are the matchups to look for, where Zeri wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
