UPDATE: Confirmed it's a bug for Spellthief's/DH/Elec
https://twitter.com/Rovient/status/1108409881940287488
I read the ability proc consistency patch notes, but this wasn't mentioned, so not sure if intended.
This is a significant nerf for Zyra support, delaying the wards and overall gold income throughout the game.
Peace!
It also seems that her plants no longer proc dark harvest. Which felt pretty bad. I hope this change doesn't stick, it took almost 16 minutes to gain 500 gold, despite fairly consistent poking, and I ended the game with eight stacks of dark harvest.
Yeah I noticed this as well on my first game today. Even though I played as I normally do, enemy Thresh with coin had his quest completed almost a full 5 minutes before me, despite us winning the lane. I really hope this wasn't intended, but from what I gather it's affecting other champions as well, like Morgana with her pool.
If this was an intended change, the suggested support items needs to be revised, as Spellthief's Edge is vastly inferior on champions like Zyra and Morgana now.
Probably a bug
If this is intentional. They have to buff her back to mid lane and make her plants stronger and a bit tanker. Also revert her Q shape back to circle.
Well, Heimer's turrets are pets, and they never proced spellthief. It's just fair that the same should go for Zyra. If you want your vision, start with a coin, which makes her less of a bully as a support. You still can control the lane with your plants, you still have your hard cc.
From the patch notes:
"Lastly, we're making pets consistent. Moving forward, all pet attacks will share the same proc behavior. Currently, that means that all effects which proc on-ability-hit (ex. Liandry's, Rylai's, Luden's) now proc off all pet attacks too. This opens the door for effects that'll proc on-ability-hit but not on pet attacks (or the other way around), but if we cross that bridge, we'll do so consistently for all pets."
same
+1
This is definitely a bug based on the patch notes.
Not my comment, copying and pasting /u/McDrewbs comment from the discussion on /r/ZyraMains for the complete list of shit broken on Zyra this patch:
"Changes
Spellthief's Tribute passive: No longer works on plants.
Spellvamp (ravenous hunter/gunblade): now heals full amount (instead of 1/3 effectiveness).
Dark Harvest: Plants no longer trigger.
Conquerer: Plants no longer provide 1 stack towards Conquerer.
Electrocute: 3 plants no longer trigger it, but 2 plants plus 1 other thing (aa/spell) or 1 plant plus 2 other things will.
Samesies
Comet: Still being reduced by 10% per attack.
Manaband: still doesn't trigger on plants.
Jax's E: Still dodges plant attacks."
