When playing Zyra as a Support.

Hello gang! I main Zyra and always use to win mid-lane a bit ago before those nerfs came in, basically pushing me down to support. I am totally fine with that for I still enjoy the play style I can bring as a great Zyra support. However my question is this.. for masteries and runes I typically use what I would as if I was going to be playing the mid AP carry role. But I'm curious to know if that is a good route. Zyra is rather squishy and I'm very smart with positioning and such that it hasn't been to big of a problem but I just wanted to hear some feedback on what others think; is it better off to play with support mast.&runes or with ap? Thanks for the replies, watch out for my roots c:

I really really like Zyra Support, but I died way too much and lost 4 of the 6 ranked games I tried so I stopped :( Her ability to scout every single bush safely, and ward (seed) Blue-side Top Tri bush and Red-side Bot Tri bush from the river makes her so useful. I'll check back here for any tips ppl leave, I want her back in my repertoire so bad.

I'm mostly playing normal games, so I may be missing practical experience, but when playing zyra sup I use pretty much the same runes as when playing her mid (rarely since easily countered). In theory it'd be a good idea to take some more armour instead of mr or use ms or gold quints, but I haven't got the runepages for experiments. Sine bot is a longer lane than mid and warding can be pretty dangerous on a weak roamer I use different masteries however. 21 in utility for speed and gold, 9 in offense for cds and ap. I like this 'cause I don't need a sightstone when I have the income to upgrade my trinket or just buy greens and pinks. I just build cc/ap and zone as much as I can. "no one shall escape my grasp"

AP or Magic Pen is the way to go. She wants the damage to be relevant.
