Zyra Thorn Spitter (Q Plants) Buggy AI - Gameplay Bug
Zyra's Q plants have been bugged for a very long time, back before I believe even the mage update. Zyra was my favorite champion who got me to gold in my first season playing, so I knew there was a bug immediately and hoped it would be fixed, but after some time i recruited help from my friend, Hollow Jet, to create a video to submit.
When she grows her plants with Q, and directs them to attack an enemy champion in any way (such as landing the Q or autoing), the plant will grow and attack, BUT when the enemy champion walks out of range, the plants don't auto redirect to a new target, as if they are taunted and if they were taunted it would be working properly, but this just happens at any time with anyone. The plants will stare at the target until they walk back into range, and if they do, and then they leave range again, they will still not redirect automatically. (Represented in the video, along with how Zyra's plants target things.)
There is also a bug in this video where Zyra's Q plants aren't attacking at their full range Bonus round of the video, where Zyra fights Cait by tri-bush bot lane, though i have not attempted to re-create it, I wouldn't have known where to start, I just noticed it and asked my friend to include it in the video. It actually appears constantly in the video, where the plants should be attacking the champion as they walk back into their range, (as the bug has them do) but they don't, as if their range is reduced to approx. 350 instead of the intended 750. They are attacking with rule 4 at that point. If you watch the custom games, you can see that they don't attack their full 750 range, but they do attack before the 350 rule 4 range. Zyra's E plants appear to work just fine.
The way to recreate the bug for Q is to direct Q plants in any way to hit an enemy champion (hitting them with the Q, autoing, etc.). Watch them walk out of range. And they won't re-target.
I can reproduce this issue 100% of the time. Anywhere on the map, we just went to the best places where minions were present.
Honestly as much as i can try to explain i can't tell as much as i can show, please look at the video, it is very clear and detailed as to what is wrong.
Please get my favorite champ back up and running properly! It is very frustrating to play a champion that doesn't work as intended! -ADCs Sugar Mama
