Lets talk about Zyra.

Zyra, a mage who used to be pretty strong. While I never played her doing this strong phase, idk if I was even around, I have heard tales of Zyra being this super strong mage with an insta-death combo. Now? She is weak, and playing her feels like I'm new to this game.

Lets talk about why. First of her, her plants are BUGGY. I will place my seed down, and part of the time, it wont even form into a plant. The seed will be placed, i'll use my Q or my E on the seed, and the seed will disappear and go on a short cooldown. Why? Also, her plants will not target the right person, or minion, a majority of the time.

Second, her E is probably the slowest CC in the whole game. You throw it out, the enemy has a chance to dodge because it moves so slowly, and it leaves Zyra vulnerable. By the time it roots someone, zyra has barely a second to react.

Third, her health. She has the second lowest health in this entire game. (RIP ) She is someone who is always pushing because of her plants, and due to always being pushed, she is vulnerable to ganks. With no mobility and little health, ganks are usually an instadeath for this champion.

Fourth, her passive. You cannot shoot it upon death, you have to wait a few seconds, click and point it, wait a second, and then it goes off. It almost never hits anyone, the amount of time it takes to use lets them escape, or dodge it. Her passive is a really cool idea, but sadly it just isn't working. If you plan to keep her passive in her future update, please just fix the time it takes to use. But what she really needs is a passive that goes with her plants.

Lastly, her update that is planned. "Focusing mainly on her support." Please for the love of god, no. Focus on her mid. She is not a good support and that is not what should be focused on for her update.

I do not see why this champion has not gotten really any buffs recently (besides the plant update last season, which didn't really help. Her plants are as buggy as they always have been.) I've noticed a lot of the times when champions are strong at one point, and then they get majorly gutted, they won't get any help for what seems like ages. Can we please fix the seed problem where it disappears while we wait for her update?
