Zyra's passive NEEDS buffs.
I'm usually the kind of guy who is conservative when calling for buffs or nerfs, and usually strive for reworks to fix an otherwise toxic champion.
But I like to play Mid Zyra. She's a fun, fresh, Pet Champion who isn't Azir or heimer. She has a ton of weaknesses. She's slow, easily gankable, her plants are very easy to get out of, her identity as both a burst and a dps champ leaves her to be desired in both categories.
So why is her passive, literally the most useless passive in the game?
Ive always had disdain for "Death" triggered passives. "So to get my full use out of X champion, I have to die??" and most of these death passives are fairly, underwhelming even when you do. But Zyra's is by far the least reliable, and the least rewarding. The Delay on the thing is so slow, for a slow moving, narrow skill shot, you'll never hit your enemy unless they stand still. And even if you do, it barely does anything to them. The best possible outcome you can get from it is that you might go even in a trade and kill them back.
Really? Is that so toxic that you had to nerf it? Going even in a trade that you initially lost?
Riot, revert the nerfs to her passive, whatever time that you thought was toxic for it to exist is over now. We want an instant, Jarvan Q speed Dragon strike out of Zyra's passive. It's the least you can do.
