Not only was old Zyra viable as support & mid, she wasn't a complete gimmick & took more skill

And it felt more rewarding to be successful with her, like I'm the one responsible for the plays and well placed skill shots/seeds rather than randomly spawning ones.

And I think the majority of the community finally accepts this to be true.

Not much more to be said, save yourself some stress and simply revert to pre-rework Zyra.
