Riot: Ideas to let Zyra midlane while also letting her Support without becoming OP

Hello, I am just here to ask how many of you Zyra mains out there think Zyra's lack of "stat power" really don't match all the shackles that are on her now?

  1. All skills have delay, all skill shot need you to not just aim, but predict;
  2. One of the slowest casting animation made her stationary for a close to a whole second
  3. No escape
  4. Almost the squishiest champ in the whole game
  5. No more magic pen from rune
  6. Garbage damage at mid to late game (take 760 AP at 18 for the plants to double in damage)

In return to all that limitation, what did we get? Even if we do everything right? The most garbage AP scaling of all AP champ, plants (which is most of our damage) die instantly to just about anything AOE. The disadvantage from deficiency of stats (some thing so simple, passive, and completely out of the control of the player) is just too debilitating to make her useless mid to late game. Zyra simply cannot stand up to other mage such as annie and lux which provides both good cc and damage It is very demoralizing to play her when I could do so much more damage as Brand even if i am 0-5 and 3 level behind.

Thank you

I actually had to resort to Zyra to reach my goal in ranked this season. She is extraordinarily strong. Her slow abilities are fine considering the amount of power they bring when combined with her seeds. Her E is also too powerful to travel any faster than it already does since it doesn't stop and roots everything in it's path.

In fact, she is so strong that she allowed me to resort to a, "I am going to take my ADC's CS because they aren't good enough to carry" strategy. This mindset allowed me to have around a 80% win rate in my last 20 Zyra games for my final push to Platinum. When I pretend that my ADC is actually helping, I always lose.

I am not sure a rework is what you want if you think she is weak. She is currently over tuned and under explored.

She is average and mostly depend on your opponent skills rather than herself. That's why from iron to plat she is good/decent to play since her weaknesses are more forgiving. Also lower elo players are not good are spacing out the danger distant and side stepping, they can easily be pubstomp when they don't know what to do with her plants. As you go from high plat and higher, it gets a lot harder since her weaknesses are more exposed. If you think she is overtuned, you should really look at recent released champs and reworks.
