I think reworked Zyra's frustrating to play but Haunted Zyra? That's just straight up unfair

SPOILERS: This thread will be downvoted heavily.

Here's what I hate about regular Zyra: Her passive spawn rate, and her Q hitbox

The rate at which the seeds spawn when fighting against her in lane as well as the unfair Q hitbox. It's the bane of all mini-games. I was alright with Draven's axe catching, Fiora's passive game, Skarner's dominion game, Illaoi's hentai paradise, Bard and Thresh game of catch the buff. Heck, even Teemo's game of Russian roulette via walking through X bushes was alright. But Zyra? Yeesh. Takes it to a whole level of unfair.

I'm like "okay, 1 seed, then another, then another, then one magically appears behind me when she's 1500 away". Like how is that fair? I'm not even complaining about her kit in general. Each ability makes sense in its place. When I get hit by her W E Q W R combo and go from 100 - 0, I'm actually alright with it. She used her entire combo and I got locked down. Simple enough. But it's when she presses Q and it triggers a plant that it CLEARLY didn't hit. Said plant procs the rylai, liandry's, spellthief and Thunderlord and you're left wondering which seed is actually shooting.

Or when the seeds randomly appear all around your map and you have to disable it (or she'll just Q it while trying to poke you, thus the attacking plant) so she uses it as an opportunity to W (negating your attempt to stop it in the first place).

And the Q plant isn't fair at all. You trying to disable it just ends up becoming free Thunderlords proc since it'll attack faster and with a longer range than most champions who don't buy attack speed.

Yeesh that was a lot. Now haunted Zyra? She adds the frustration of regular Zyra combined with the fact that her plants are hard to see when they summon.

She is broken. And that's why I love her.

Frustrating? Yes. Unfair? No.

Practically every assassin in the game blows Zyra mid up. Furthermore, mages that build some MR and health items like Rylais and Rod of Ages completely nullify plant damage until I can get maximum penetration in the lategame.

This is coming from a 250K Zyra main.

Zyra herself is frustrating. But with that haunted skin, makes it hard to see plants.

I actually thought it made plants easier to see. The tombstone seeds are much more obvious with their particle effects. Are you visually impaired in any way?

I find the red plants way easier to see. The resurrected plants are really hard to tell.

Huh, well you know my personal opinion on the matter, but maybe Riot should look into what you're saying and see if other players are also having issues. I'm open to this being fixed as well if it really is a problem for others.

Idk if it's just me but I hardly see them in teamfights.
