Can we talk about Zyra?

Without a doubt my favorite league char is Zyra. I just love the champ and have ever since her release, having played well over 1k games and probably closer to 2k games (though the bulk of these were before the mastery changes) she just feels bad to play. She felt bad to play in s4+ onwards. Ever since she got taken bot and dominated the supports she has just been abysmal in mid / apc role. And the current place she is in is easily the worst yet, she has very little burst, her "dps" is split into plants that die in <1 seconds in any team fight and her ult is the most unsatisfying thing to use. The worst part is her itemization is in a constant circlejerk of not enough damage, not enough cdr, not enough survivability, not enough movement speed. She needs everything to function and shorting her on one thing always leave you in this self doubt of if you should've bought something else instead. Idk, don't really expect anything to come from this, just wanted to rant on how my favorite champ is legit garbo.
