I'm tired of Riot IGNORING Zyra since the start of Pre Season. Literally they destroyed her Kit and the Synergy between her abilities !!
Poke Supports shouldn't get outdamaged by other supports, But right now most of them do the same damage with better sustain in lane Because of Bone Plating&Second Wind or even blocking Zyra damage with Big Fat Shields and healing overtime without any cost !
The main damage of Zyra is her plants and now all of it dies Instantly and that Destroyed her Kit in my opinion.
I'll leave something here~
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter Nerf in patch 6.24.
*Removing Queen's Tribute from Eye of the watchers patch 8.2.
*The Lack of Magic pen in the new Rune forge system.
*Liandry's Torment Nerf "rework" patch 8.4.
*And ofc the mini rework in 7.24
All of these changes and more affected Zyra, although most of these changes made for other champions not Zyra particulary.
I like how Riot thought about AD Assassins when they decided to Nerf Duskblade of Draktharr and buffing most of them "don't wanna say overbuffing",
And ignoring Zyra after nerfing her core items in mid and support , As Zyra main i know how she relying on Magic Pen and how much old runes system was useful for her by taking Magic Pen Quintessence & Marks & glyph and scaling hp seal , But the only Magic Pen you can get from the new runes system is Sudden Impact and it's not valid choice for Zyra.
At the end i wish you keep posting about her issues cuz i'm really disappointed of Balance team ignore, Good luck.
