Zyra Request

Sonatina1019··10 votes·1,489 views

Honestly, I get why Zyra isn't very playable, however I wish Riot would just change one thing, her movement speed. I love playing her as a champ. If they could just make her faster and giver her more movement speed. I think she could be viable. Please please please. Anyone else agree with this? Zyra

Zyra buffs never going to happen. They just gave her a "huge buff" in the form of doing exactly fucking nothing with the plant AI update.

I would play her more if...

-Her plants auto attacked champions

-Her MS was increased

-Her spells were less delayed

That's all. I think it's crappy how you're forced to auto attack to get your plants to hit your target because in some cases:

auto attack range = death to the plant

As an avid Zyra player, there's not a lot of places she can go... Once they fix all of the preseason crap, hopefully something can become clear.

Her MS is low because it's supposed to be difficult for her to escape. I'd prefer they fix her plant AI to remove the delays and targeting issues. If that's not enough, make her [E]'s CD scale and/or her [W]'s charge rate faster. Late-game, it's often difficult to stay in a fight because the CD on those is so long.

I just wish her plants would automatically target champions when one is in range. Sometimes a champion is RIGHT next to a plant but it may be too risky for Zyra to go auto them, but the plant WILL NEVER ATTACK THEM. It is irritating. Yes, some Zyra players use her plants to farm, but i would much rather them reliably poke the enemy laner before instantly dying to pretty much a light breeze.

I think her plants also seem to have this odd habit of hitting some random target just before coming up and hitting what they're supposed to (if they do at all).

I feel like it would be better if they automatically attacked champions in range regardless of what your trigger spell hit. She is supposed to be zone control but her plants are laughable. They die so incredibly easy it is stupid. I know Heimer's turrets are a staple of his kit but so are Zyra's, they should at least be more like his, also takes more mana to keep hers up unlike Heimer who can spit them out like nothing,

a lot of champs need MS boost. any squishe with no escape needs an MS of at least 340 IMO.

I just checked her movement speed, damn yeah she is slow. Zyra needs to be buffed anyway I'd hold tight for more PBE balance changes :)

Zyra used to be a pure terror, then they started using her as support in pro play and she got nerfed into the ground, which is what used to happen when champions kind of escaped their role. But now that Annie and Brand have been supporting for a decent amount of time without being hit too hard with the nerf hammer, maybe they will show some love to Zyra

One quality of life change I think she needs is her plants need to be buffed in some way. Try putting them up late game, and see how long they last.

Buffing their survivability would not be QOL.

Her E plants should, however, have more HP.

I honestly think she already had too much to be fun to play against. If she gets ahead, she has so much cc and damage that there's no coming back. If she isn't viable because she has trouble getting ahead, allowing her to do that easily will make her OP.

Yeah, movespeed quints are pretty much a must on her, and a lot of other supports as well.

As someone who was around when Zyra was in meta, I'm strictly against anything that makes her viable.

Won't happen.

Hopefully she will get à change to her plants AI and some QoL to her spells in the immobile mage rework. I just hope she keep her plants .
