Thoughts And Opinions On Zyra Change
Hello Zyra fans. I was working on a large post about her current state and I wanted to get some quick feedback before I post it on a possible idea.
How would fans of the champion like the idea of Zyra's passive being Rampant Growth? Unkillable seeds would automatically spawn at a high rate (similar to Illaoi, but more quickly) in random places within a range around Zyra. The premise being that Zyra is an infestor, and the longer you leave her to remain in an area, the more she begins to control that zone. If Zyra gets to far from them, they wither and decay.
Spawn rates of the seeds would scale with level so early game isn't overbearing in lane, but by late game, she would take over an area fairly quickly in a prolonged poke or siege. Plants would still function similarly, though they might be a bit weaker since they are more plentiful. It also opens up a new W which could be incorporated into more of a shield or perhaps healing. This also means she would have a third type of plant she could create with her seeds.
This also places her in a unique zone control role. She would be quit deadly to engage in the middle of her zone due to all of the seeds, but the limited duration and fragility of her plants means that if she takes advantage of her zone, she has to rebuild it back up immediately after. This is quite different compared to Heimer or Illaoi who generally remain in control of their zone even if the opponent engages them inside of it.
