abusing bugs are we?

Yup! She honestly didn't need the nerf, which was a bit overkill anyway.

Why don't someone paddle you for suggesting that in the first place? Not nice at all!

they used to focus champs regardless now they target closest to them unless hit by spell so they will still target you if you are closer

Pretty sure this^

which was intended I think and not a bug; I don't recall riot saying: "Zyra 's plants will always prioritize non-champions unless a spell hits."

It's working as intended - and if you are standing close to a plant, yes you can expect to get hit. (It's more random now, but yes the closest enemy minion or champion will be hit primarily. (I've been frustrated by the fact that it does now have a greater chance of hitting minions.)

Were you the only target there?

I haven't played her much recently, so I can't say it works properly, but the nerf was that plants would now focus the nearest target to them, not "minions unless an enemy champion is hit".

no. the nerf was to only hit champions that the spell hits. plants still hit champions even if there are no minions around and even if they miss.

No, it was to only autotarget. Of course her plants are going to continue to attack you if you're the closest thing in range, it would be silly to do otherwise, but unless you land the spell they want automatically home in on the champion to shoot them.

Taking directly from the 7.3 Patch note (I bolded out the important part) :

" PLANT STUFF Removed a rule that told Thornspitters and Vine Lashers to always target nearby enemy champions on-spawn instead of the closest enemy unit, even if the ability that spawned them didn’t hit a champion "
