So a while back I was told Zyra wasn't as good at doing baron as Malzahar

This was Malzahar before ANY nerfs after his rework with elder, 3 1/2 items, and red pot.

Comparing and contrasting them Malzahar he had multiple dragons, smite, an extra item, 3 levels higher, + elder and he took 25 seconds to do it.

Zyra had 25 seconds of set up and did it in 15 seconds. With an extra item and level 18 I can do it over the red side wall without even being in baron AoE range, I think these 2 should be comparable.
