Zyra's kit could be a lot more thematically awesome.

Now that Zyra has been mentioned as one of the mages that will get a rework soon, and I'm impatient to see how they will change her, but I'm afraid at the end it will be a minor rework that will add nothing to her fantasy (I hope I'm wrong though).

I'd like RIOT to take this chance to make a larger rework to Zyra, to fit her fantasy and make her awesome, because as she is now, she's kinda boring and generic (and I hate to say this because thematically I love Zyra).

Maybe they can make it so she can bring treants to life that fight for her (or aid her teammates, whatever). Take away power from her skillshots, and put it into powerful plants that enemies have to actually care about instead of just ignoring them. Have her ult summon giant plants, or triffid-like plants that grow through all the map. Maybe her ult can turn a lane into a jungle, or send an army of plants to a location.

I don't think we will ever see a Zyra like this, and probably the team has no time/resources to pull off a rework like this, or maybe people are OK with a more generic, simple kit, but I wanted to talk a bit about her.

Her current kit is annoying to play against, and her theme isn't really felt.

IMO, a full rework would be her best bet if people want her to be decent.

Right now her burst, and follow-up dps if it doesn't kill you, along with her peeling ability means Riot will never let her function as an effective mid-laner.

All I know is that they're changing her passive completely, and that's likely what the majority of her gameplay will go in line with.
