Slight nerfs/changes ideas for a few champions

Zyra - Slightly change the way her seedlings/plants interact. To be lore congruent, i think it would make a lot of sense that since her seedlings/plants are essentially an extension of herself, if an enemy squashed a seedling, it deals damage to Zyra (very minimal of course). Furthermore, if an enemy destroys a Zyra plant, it deals slightly more damage, and also acts as a spellthief's edge proc.

Ezreal - Even though blue build is the majority of builds, the fact that Iceborn Gauntlets gives 20% cdr (i understand its been this way for a while), but now Tri-force does as well. the dev teams have mentioned on more than one occasion that cdr is so easy to stack nowadays. I think that Arcane Shift needs a bit longer cd for the same reasons they explained to us that Fizz's Playful/Trickster needed a longer cd.

  • most of my ideas are along this thread of cdr being so easy to stack

Annie - with 40% cdr, Annie's 'q' is on a 2.6 second cd. now that zhonya's gets cdr, I'm thinking something along the lines of tweaking Annie's stacking passive to where maybe her 'q' only gives a stack every OTHER cast. Or make her passive have a cd between stacks. Maybe make her second 'q' cast give a stack ONLY if it's been 3 seconds since the last time she casted 'q'. Or make it so Annie's 'e' doesn't apply a stack, only her offensive spells. Something alone those lines.

Blitzcrank - either longer cd on his pull or lower base damage and ratio.

Zilean - his ultimate may need to be on a longer cd, maybe also a shorter cast range.

Another option would be to reduce some of the items cdr from 10% to 5%

just a few thoughts on some champions that seem to be doing very well right now.

As for Zyra, you can counter her by engaging. She won't be able to do anything. Annie is nerf worthy for a long time and Riot is like, annie is a mechanically difficult champion. That is partially true because people playing annie for 10-25 game have significantly lower win ratio than people who have 50-75 games with her, but that does not make her less faceroll. Zilean is balanced, end of the story. The only thing zilean can do is stun which is hard to do, and get a ult on your carry, nothing else. Reducing CD is a good idea, but only on AP items, because most of them give CDR either way. I do think that Sheen should not give CDR. I mean gives a large amount of mana and significant damage which is really stupid. Blitzcrank has had his Q range and damage reduced so much throughout the years, that it feels i has 75% less range than it used when released.
