A long long time ago Morello mentioned he wanted to rework Zyra to be more plant-centric.
This thread. This was before she was nerfed for being too good at supporting, and thus, she's made so that she only sees support now (I don't understand this logic :/)
The primary thing I'd like to do to Zyra is to make her MORE about plants, and less burst mage. I don't entirely know how this will effect which lane, but I do understand the sentiment to the bottom lane vs mid lane approach. This has been why we've been conservative so far (the missile speed change was just something we should have released with).
I can put more complete thoughts on this later, but that's likely the direction we'd look at outside of numbers tweaks.
Whatever happened to the "create a garden of plants" Zyra that he was discussing a year ago? He mentioned that it won't be coming till quite a while. Well, it's been quite a while. **So...any updates? ** This has been something I'm more excited about than any other rework, because dammnit this is the closest we're getting to a pet champion since Yorick is obviously making no progress. That, and. I want Support Zyra to DIE so that I can play her AP mid again.
