Minor Zyra Buff: Show her plants' damage in her W tooltip

It's still complete bs that you decided to balance her around being a support and made it so that she can only function as a support champion in SR, and that sending her mid is just asking to get reamed. Especially in light of how you nerfed Janna and Soraka so hard just because they strayed from their intended role. You nerfed Rengar the first time because he was a much better AP than AD, etc.

But asides from that, she still functions as a mage in something like Dominion.

And more importantly, even if you refuse to help her in any way as a midlaner, the very very least you could do for her is atleast give Zyra players some more information. So my suggestion is...........show how much damage her plant inflicts with each hit in her W's tooltip. To be honest, I don't even know why it's not there to begin with. The only thing you tell players is that it scales with level too...but even then we have no idea how much.

You can only gauge so much when you look at the purple numbers when her plants hit her target. Calculate their MR, your mPen, your level, your AP, any other unseen factors, etc. There is literally no harm in letting Zyra know how much damage her plants actually deal. Or atleast give us a clearer picture of how they scale.

**PS **- and if this very thread gets modded for being off-topic, look at the bajillion subforums in the left and tell me WHICH ONE has a name more befitting suggestions such as this than one that is titled "Gameplay and Balance"

It is in the tool tips of her Q and E as I recall.

Really? Let me check it out.

Although if that is the case, I question their decision to put it there instead of W, especially considering they both do the exact same amount of damage. Not to mention, her W clearly doesn't tell the player whether it scales off AP or not, only mentioning it's level scaling.

**edit: **Oh hey you're right! Again, why split it off between her Q and E and not just her W? They're the same thing in terms of damage. And more importantly, her W only mentions that it scales off her level while her Q and E then shows her plant's AP scaling.

Haven't played Zyra in ages but I know it tells you this information somewhere...

And don't tell me Sona doesn't function as a mid laner, because she does so perfectly well.

Her damage is nothing to laugh at and her healing potential is godly with some AP.

They nerfed Soraka because her kit was extremely unhealthy for a solo lane (shove lanes, heal poke, silence threats)

Her new kit is a lot more healthy for a solo lane.

Well, yeah it's much more healthy in that you just plain don't see her anymore.

They didn't tone down her solo lane so much as completely remove it.
