People love calling Zyra broken, yet nobody explains why. So here's why she ISNT.

Zyra is not broken, get over yourselves. And before someone says I main her, I don't. I main Orianna. She is actually, if anything unbalanced, UNDERPOWERED because she has HORRIBLE scalings vs other mages. Let's look at them, shall we?

Q- somewhere around 60%, but DEFINETLY not over it. W- no scaling at all E- like 55%. R- 66%. As in, a Lux Q, or an Orianna W. The damage is literally comparable to those two abilities too.

Plant Scaling: I think 20%?

Stop whining about how overpowered Zyra is when simple math proves you wrong. Other mages such as Leblanc and Zilean (almost full support) have scalings that reach about 80-100%, and other champs like Malhazar and Annie don't even go below 80%. Even TANKS outscale this. Im talking to you, Chogath Amumu Maokai.

Then there are assassins that ridiculously outscale her and laugh in her face with their abilities' damage, such as miss 250% AP + AD ratio ult Katarina and mister double-damage Q Khazix who literally does 60% of your health in one ability on a 2s cooldown, as an attack damage champ.

So before you bitch and whine that Zyras broken, actually consider if she can even do 50% of ur health with all of her damage at once, consider her .75 second root, her having one useless ability that only gives vision, laughably horrible ratios, and then mute yourself for having questioned Zyras balance.

Everyone wants their main more powerful than others. It's only natural

I made it clear that I didn't main Zyra. I've played her about twice in the last few weeks.

Her plants do extremely low damage if there's more than one. Also, in most cases, she only has 2 plants fighting with her, not 5.

One plant is melee, one has like 750 range. That's not even close to outranging them, besides Kog, but he can just instakill her with his stupid ability damage and range.
