Is it too much to ask for Zyra to get a real passive

I'm fine with champs that have unique passive like kog'maw when he dies he can suicide bomb on people its pretty fun but with zyra its almost impossible to hit that damn shot its so thin and theres a delay to the shot please just make the speed faster and reaction time to it quicker please and also please fix her plant AI too.

Zyra is actually a hidden strong AP mid laner. Her plants do a shit ton of damage if you're semi fed and you catch them unawares. The trade-off is you have to be somewhat of a mechanical master to dish out the damage/CC and get out almost unscathed + you have no movement speed steroids or mobility. She's got strong CC during lane phase, even stronger teamfight presence with her ult. I think she has the ability to reveal invisible units with seed as well (but it's pretty hard to hit).

IMO, she hits harder than a Vel'Koz with same items, kills and cs.

Her plants explode in half a second in teamfights and this is about her passive, not her overall usefulness. This is coming from someone who has played tons of Zyra mid and support.

If you position yourself right you can make the plants last for a reasonable amount of time. If your plants are getting destroyed in half a second then you're placing them wrong buddy. The melee plants have more range than you might think.

The passive is only one part of a champion.

You have to take into account the overall kit because, for example, you could say Fizz has a really shit/useless passive but that's because his other abilities already have a lot in them.

It's stupid to look at just one ability/passive of a champion and not take into account the overall effectiveness of that champion IMO.

It is, she´s already too strong in capable hands and the passive fits her very well.

Sort of.

Her kit is powerful enough where it is right now, simply making her passive more effective results in something like Ashe - where their previous viability was just amped to epic proportions.

I don't think her passive needs to be redone, however the reaction time on that.. holy shit. You should be able to shoot at most, 1 second after you've died. Right now, it's one second after you die where you THINK you'll cast it, but then it delays another second after you've cast it and bam, you just missed a potential kill(s). Honestly that's the only issue with it, the ridiculous delay that makes it impossible to land.
