Perfect Zyra Buffs (Don't forget her <3)

At first, sorry for my poor english.

I was D1 S3 and S4 with Zyra at midlane (or sup when i had to).

Currently, after AI rework, she is still pretty weak for her primary role (Mid mage, not support, don't forget she was intended for mid plz).

There is still some bugs with plant, they are sometimes not attacking ANYONE, they just bug. (happens not as much as before the rework but still)

Lets talk about her kit. The main issue is her mobility.

She just need two buff :

  1. More base ms : +5/+10. (or add a bonus ms passiv based of the numbers of plants)

  2. And the most important buff : remove or lower the cast time of E. To cast E, Zyra is like rooted for 0.5 sec. Accumulated with her low MS and the fact it's a low speed spell, easy to dodge, she is easily out of position.

And it's his only spell she can do to TRY to slow opponent jungler by example or opponent midlane. You miss that spell, you are just dead.

Mobility is the key in LOL, you improved a lot of champions by improving their mobility (not particulary with MS buff but mostly by improving gameplay spells ).

Would be wonderfull if any Rioters respond here, to talk about Zyra :)

the thing about more ms with plants sound cool maybe like zyras plants give her an ms boost if she is within range of it

Her low MS is most likely one of Zyra's weakness that Riot intended her to have, they are not likely to change that.

But that said it would be interesting of she conditionally got a small (small) MS when in the presents of her plants.

A delayed cast time on E might be best.

Zyra is a control mage and recently they all have been getting mobility nerfs, most notably Azir. I use to play a lot of Zyra as well and still do from time to time. If her movement speed got buffed then people will be calling for a nerf. They keep fixing the plant AI slowly, but I think her Ult needs a rework, such as instead of a knockup if they remain in the ult that it also pull the enemies to the center the way Orianna's does. Or have it pull people to the center in the way Vile'Maw does on twisted treeline.

Alternatively have you tried Movement speed quints? That would solve her mobility issue
