Can we give Zyra's seeds a timer?

Right now, left-clicking on Zyra's seeds will only give you a health bar, which is pointless because you can't attack them to destroy them until they turn into plants, and merely stepping on them destroys them. Can we give them a timer under it instead, similar to the white bar beneath a ward's health bar? Not knowing exactly when your seeds will expire is a little awkward, both thematically and gameplay-wise, and I think that it would give her clunky-feeling W a little clarity.

And in the meantime can we also give her a better passive..

A good opportunity to make her even more plant-like (Like poison ivy)

Honestly.. if there wasn't a delay, that passive is still really cool. Enemy kill you-> return instant AoE true damage

As a Zyra main I hope someone from riot sees this. There is absolutely NO reason for it not to happen. <3Zyra <3

As a zyra mid main You know what would be even better? How about if plants actually kept attacking enemy champions until they got either destroyed or you walked out of their attack range like heimer's turrets especially since they die much more quickly than his and she cannot set them up as quickly and wastes more mana doing so. Honestly I don't understand why riot can't do that one simply little thing. Aside from a new passive imo that's all Zyra really needs to be great again. Riot pisses me off when they nerf champions for their subroles instead of nerfing them for their main roles and the nerf she caught wasn't a small nerf to one aspect of her kit almost everything she can do got nerfed. Her ult, passive, ms, Q,W and E all caught nerfs so can't she get this one little thing as compensation especially after the game has changed so much?

Stop talking about Zyra. I love her design and her kit. I know she has issues, but I would rather her be in her current state than however she would end up if Riot takes too much interest and "reworks" her.

Or simply learn how to time them. That is a major part in mastering any champion, to instinctively know their cool downs and intricacies.

Similar to learning to time a Zhonyas to burn down the enemy when it expires, or knowing the time frame to cancel a channeled spell, all of which gives you a distinct advantage as a knowledgeable player.

Really? Zyra's already shit and you want her to be nerfed even more?

If she ever gets that, Teemo's shrooms better get 120 secs of existance.

The seeds are fine as they are now. They don´t need a timer.

Cuz imagine this situation:

You place seeds within a bush.

Someone comes by, unknowingly and enters the bush.

You do your E-Q combo.

You died cuz the seeds' timer ran out.

Even IF it brings clarity, you´re talking about taking away all the bush control Zyra has.

Her passive is the one thing preventing her from being a competitive pick. she is a plant, how about she gets a buff while she is in the river? Fits both thematically and gameplay wise as she is a master teamfighter.

The only problem I see with this is possible performance issues other then that it seems like a good idea.
