Hi, i was wandering if there was a way to have a range indicator on Zyra plants. Is there something i need to do, to have the range indicator put on to the plants. I hope somone may answer my question and if it was posibble to have her range indicator on her plants in game, how can i fix it? Thanks*[slayer-jinx-wink]*

I think we gave this a shot, but it caused WAAAAAY too much visual clutter. Zyra would do Zyra stuff with tons of plants, and all you could see were circles. On top of that (and unlike heimer turrets), the plants don't last too long, so these circles were popping in and out constantly.

Ok, if you say so. but is there any tips on how to know the range of your plants when using zyra? Thanks for the help*[slayer-jinx-catface]*

Practice. Lots of it.

I love Zyra. And I completely side with Rainslight here. Zyra does Zyra things... which can easily be up to 9 plants at a time in a very small area. Hell I already have trouble figuring out what is going on sometimes (I'm just happy it tends to end with me alive).

The range indicator could help, but honestly just practice. You'll fail a lot, but that's what practice is for. You find out WHY you fail and correct it. Then you fail a little less until you end up being good - but never give up that bit of finding out WHY you fail, that's the key to improving.

If you are using q and miss, the range is "it will probably hit them once"

If you are using q and hit, the range is "it will probably hit them twice"

At least that's my experience.

You wouldn't be up for adding a toggle? When I play Zyra I have enemies avoid being hit by my plants and I feel like they definitely should have been in range. I guess they were just on the edge of the plant's range. A range indicator would be really helpful to me. If it was translucent it wouldn't bother me at all.

I don't think range indicators would help that much here as champion hitboxes are pretty weird themselves. Azir's soldiers have an indicator but you still sometimes feel cheated.

An idea:

When you press Q or E on Zyra (Or hold when using "quickcast with indicators"), the appropriate attack ranges are displayed FOR ZYRA ONLY on plants within a reasonable range from her. If you quickcast, no clutter. Even if you don't, it's only showed for the Zyra player, and it goes away once the ability is used.

I honestly wish that we got the range indicators back. It makes even less sense now that we don't have them when they're even more important to her contributions in a fight.

Could you code it so that the circles don't overlap? Like so they just conjoin rather than create unnecessary circles within circles?

Ok, is there any way i can see how it would look like if they put the indicator of the plants? Pictures? Because im really curios about it

the biggest issue i have vs Zyra is the fact you need to WALK over the unsprouted plants to kill them, instead of attacking them.

because as soon as u get near them she sprouts them. so you cant really step on them to kill them.

damned if you do, damned if you don't.

That's seriously the biggest thing about her. If you could kill the seeds from far away then she would be utterly useless because their range isn't that far. Zyra is great at pushing and keeping people back - but if you can kite Zyra she's worthless, that range is necessary and the seeds can be used as bait.

Be mindful of the seeds but don't go out of your way for them. Unless you get near them there isn't much reason for them to be sprouted (and if they are then they won't do much damage). Step on ones that are in your path or near you (or when Zyra is further away), but don't chase them down.

She doesn't have Zac priority so if you attempt to step on it you will over half the time just end up destroying them before her Q/E ever goes off. If not you can just juke the Q/E and she just wasted mana on a plant that will not even bother auto attacking you in lane since they removed the auto target champions.

Like Heimer turrets? Sure, but with that many plants laning against Zyra will become just a bunch of visual overload.

But is it possible to have it in game? and i dont really mind the circles if this will be able to help me

No, He's right. You can have upwards to (10?) plants shooting at once. That's a bit of a visual overload.

the rioter that worked on her said they put the range indications but it basically bloated the screen because of how many plants it could summon, so it'd be a lot just circles that are not really needed.

I want range indicators that show up for plants that are attacking me. I also want their aggro tendencies to make sense. Sometimes they attack creeps, sometimes they attack me, and nothing I do seems to have any bearing on their targeting conditions.
