Zyra W or Passive Rework Suggestion

I just had a thought. Zyra's rework will emphasize her play around her plants and reinforce her counter initiation tool. Now we know that Riot is looking to change her passive which was voted as the worst passive in the game. We know that her W will be reworked to create more opportunities with her plants, strengthen the plants by doing something or increase their numbers somehow. And they they may have some form of health scaling. This all sounds awesome!

Riot is likely to get rid of her death passive and I welcome that. Zyra is one of the squishiest champions in the game currently and has no shield or defensive abilities aside from her crowd control. Zyra is the Queen of Thorns right? What if her new passive was similar to the Thornmail passive? A certain percentage of attack damage on her will be reflected as magic damage. As for her W, what if she could cast W on an ally and give them this Thornmail passive? If she casts on herself it would strengthen and double her passive's thornmail strength. If she casts on an ally, perhaps there would be a caveat that she gives up the passive when she gives it to an ally. Either way she sacrifices her W's plants and damage if she wants to buff or give away her the thornmail passive.

This change would keep a similar theme to her current passive: damage (or straight up kill her) and you could end up dying too. It would reinforce her counter initiating Mage play style and replace her inconsistent and clunky death passive. It could provide Zyra some much needed survivability in the mid lane and offer her support lane some much needed utility that she currently lacks.

As a Zyra main I can't wait to see her rework! I hope that her rework will increase her play rate and that she will see much more play in the professional scene. I believe in Riot.
