Zyra feels awful with these new runes.
I am a long-standing Zyra main, and I was super hyped for these new runes to launch (like most people were.) But I am extremely disappointed as too how these runes effected Zyra. I waited this while to pinpoint exactly what it was that nerfed her so hard, but I think it comes down too none of the keystones are very good on her. With the change that her plant's cant count as two casts hits of electrocuting her laning phase is relatively weak compared to most other sups. I believe this to be the case that she was balanced with that easy and reliable thunderlords proc every time it was available (which was a TON of damage) I have been running aery and found some success but her chip damage with plants feels underwhelming. I believe her team fighting is about the same but you enter team fights with less gold so I feel weaker there too.
Ultimately Zyra just doesn't feel strong this is also supported by the -2% win rate change between patches, I am unsure of how to approach the problem but perhaps raising her plants damage (her Q and E and R feel fine as they have not changed) or change electrocute so that she has access to some burst power again.
Advacus,
P.S. I am really just writing this to raise awareness of an unfortunate state of Zyra right now, hope she gets tuned correctly soon!
needs a new kit overall but that's just me wanting her to be more of a champion summoning giant vines (pretty much giving her what illaoi has with her tentacles), vine walls, just overall plant control on a much bigger scale as opposed to this "Plants vs Zombies" feeling but anyways...
