Did something happen to Zyra, or... ?

I'm a silver support main & mastery 7 Zyra player in NA. I'm not very good, but I can usually execute her E+W->W+Q->R pretty flawlessly and delete an out-of-position ADC in lategame in a fraction of a second (as you do). I was playing Zyra after the patch today, though, and her Q cast just felt.... super bad for some reason? It was really difficult to execute her combo as the Q just kept sticking and wouldn't cast unless I hit it several times. As a result, I failed to blow up carries on a few occasions and ended up being the one who got picked instead...

Is there anything in the most recent patch that might have affected this? Zyra specifically wasn't mentioned in the patch notes, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't lagging when I tried to hit the combo. Maybe a small lockout time was created on her W? Or my settings just got reset, and I have some kind of automatic cast confirmation that was previously removed? Or maybe it's a bug courtesy of Rito spaghetti code?

Or, most likely, I'm probably just bad and having an off day. I'm really not sure what could have happened!

Nope. Probably just the fact you're pretty much required to T3 support items now, which put you behind. Also, you kind of need your itemization before you can carry now. It's not all the same item.

What I'm generally running first is item 3092 item 3151 item 3165 and then some CDR items like item 3003 or item 3285 . kind of need the grievous wounds to be effective or they just kill by killing your plants.

I just hate that any champ can delete all your plants easily meanwhile Heimerdinger

What I hate is that I use to take Transcendence but with the new AP items often you dont get to 40% CDR
