why is zyra so weak in every category?

too slow, no escape, too squishy, too little damage (mainly at start, but all around unless ur fed, SOMEHOW), bad at killing creeps without mana(and has mana problems, making killing creeps WITH mana a bad choice), easy to gank... what are her upsides? getting plants that dont attack champions most of the time? (if you go in to aa the champ to get plants to focus them, u lose the trade bc of so little damage while being so squishy) shes a bad supp bc the plants will attack creeps making it harder for adc to get them, so shes a bad mid and supp... and to top it off her plants are too easy to kill with dots and multi hitters

weak damage? Her damage is massive, so is her CC... she's very similar to Anivia, a high damage controll mage that pays for it with low mobillity and beeing squishy, which is pretty fine for me.

Zyra has a few weaknesses.

Low base movement speed Bad passive Bad plant AI Mana issues

Thats about it.

Huge damage and enough CC to make it happen, everything else is a weakness in her kit you can should be playing around.

zyra is potentially the most powerful champion in the game.

"why is zyra so weak in every category?"

Because she really isn't.

Also, properly formatting your text is never a bad idea, it makes you seem less of an idiot, even if you're arguments(whatever they are) are dumb, people will pay attention because they are easy to digest.

Poor attempt to fish upvotes failed as expected.

Try another bandwagon, I strongly suggest one about Riven and her burst, it's really hot right now.

please don't troll, even if it's your own thread

oh and her passive has no use unless you die, so she basically doesnt have one (not to mention no w either)

She was too good in mid at release so they nerfed her damage/ratios... then she was dominating bot lane so they nerfed the projectile speed on her root making it akin to throwing a wet noodle... somewhere in there they also gave her one of the worst movespeed in the game.

Yea, Riot basically crapped on her over and over after release until she wasn't, "a problem" anymore and left her in that state.

she has an auto targeted Q with something like 1500 combined range that is unavoidable and capable of applying liandries, crystal scepter, ludens, etc. heim's turrets can't do that, and also have to be placed directly at his feet. ppl don't know how to play zyra, what she's capable of, what her build should be, or even where she should be played. no team has figured out how to work her into a comp because she is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful characters in the game.

Support Zyra outdamages your whole team with just Liandries. lol

Nono her damage is really balanced IMO.

I like her a lot, it's just the only problems I have with her is the plant AI, her base MS, and her broken passive (not the good broken).

She's below average in every category except for actual in-game performance. Then she's significantly above average.

Merxamers7/12/2015, 10:16:39 PM2 votes

She's been nerfed a lot because when she was released she was an oppressive laner who was great at everything. She has one of those kits where if she's really strong, it's super not-fun for anyone on the other team
