Calling all Zyra mains

I know there are dozens of us.

The Zyra dev blog is going to be released this week. As a Zyra main, what do you want to see?

Honestly, I happy with her kit the way it is. I'd love some move speed and possibly a more useful passive while she's alive.

I'm expecting to see more plant interaction. Maybe more seeds available to her. I also remember them talking about potentially having special mechanics in the jungle. Maybe her ult will have more meaningful interactions with her plants too.

I just hope they don't change her identity as a zone mage with burst.

I just wanted better plant AI and plant responsiveness... I like her kit as is. Passive and all. :|

I'm afraid they're going to change her into the "jungler plant mage" or something else because plants! In the jungle! She'll be so ""unique"" with her new identity!

[[Still annoyed at the ADC changes...]]

I just want the basic function of her abilities to retain untouched. Ult knocks up and is absolutely huge, E snares, Q does damage. Basic abilities activate seeds they hit. After that I'm willing to see change, but obviously a new passive is my main priority. Regarding her playstyle I still want her to have her huge combos because unleashing hell on someone who gets hit by a root is my favourite thing to do with her and I want her to still be pretty bursty too. I like that she has a decent bit of sustained damage but still gets the satisfaction of doing a ton of damage very quickly with her full combo. First time I 100-0'd someone with her in 0.5 seconds was one of my favourite feelings in this game and I don't want to lose that.

Also new ability icons would be great :3 Passive has always been sooooo ugly.

New passive, more plants, and some updated visuals.

That's all I want to see really

I really want a new passive. Definitely remove the delay on her spells and increase her root duration.

Zyra main (mid lane)

Only a few tweaks needed.

Passive : Complete rework

Q: Fine

W: Seeds need more then CDR

E: root duration needs to be 1 a one point and 2s at max, projectile speed needs to be a bit faster (15-20% faster)

R: Plants need to be made undamageable for duration (like Illaoi Tentacles), Expanding speed needs to be faster, needs a slow added before the knockup. With all the speed boosts and mobility creep many (and I mean a lot) champs can run out of it and take no damage even with it is dropped on them point blank.

Plants: Fix AI to what it was suppose to be, attack speed needs to be faster (lower damage to compensate for the faster attacks) DOTs and AOE's need to not kill them so fast.

Zyra stats: If they fix the above then her movement speed can stay slow because her root will be longer and her plants will be doing their job without dieing so fast. Would be nice to have her auto attacks have something (bonus damage or slow or something) because without her plants she is a sitting duck.

I would like to see her also be a jungle mage (the jungle is her turf) Using Plants to tank the jungle camps and using her E and plants to gank.

So main role Mid lane. Secondary role Jungler

I think she's basically fine except for the fact that her E plants are useless and her Q plants were made too good to compensate (and she therefore had to be nerfed). In addition to shifting some power from her Q plants into her E plants, I would give some interaction between her ult and her seeds. Something like any seeds hit by her ult turn into plants or hitting seeds with her ult gives her additional seeds.

I want her to become the zoning mage.

But healthy, not Illaoi or Yasuo levels zoning.

I just want them to change her passive. I like everything else about her.

And dear God if Riot takes away her ability to block skillshots I'm going to cry. ;___;

I want some fixes to E so it stops randomly going through people and not snaring them. (not sure if this is a visual clarity thing, or a hitbox bug)

I want a better passive. A tad bit of movement would be peachy but not really necessary.

I'm a Zyra main because I like her mostly as she is.

I used to like Zyra a lot for who she is but now as I keep playing her. I saw that she has many flaws in her kit. Her passive probably will be changed as riot mentioned that they are looking for an alternative one for her. I would be glad if they do change it because it's so clunky to use and bug sometimes, not to mention it doesn't apply rylai slow most of the time. I will probably miss them passive double kills but I probably will get more kills with a real passive and Zyra might get more skin without her big death plant form passive. Her plants interaction definately needs some work because they don't attack sometimes after killing the minions or struggle switching to a new target. Her root at low level is so not worth to use sometimes because of how slow it is to catch someone and turn out it might give the enemy a free kill if you missed it and leave yourself vulnerable. Yes I know it can hit multiple enemies but .75s root at level 1? Why not make it like lissandra W starting with 1.1s and 1.5s at max lvl. This will help her early game a bit more. Her R needs less delay for the knock up or increase the knock up duration to 1.5s instead of 1 second. I know this is like super buffs and she probably will be nerf but I will probably trade some damage for then utilities to keep her alive. You bring more damage when you are alive right? Unless you are karthus.
