My Opinion On What Should Be Done With Zyra

I'm very hyped and scared for this immobile mage update. A lot of champions I enjoy playing are included and most of all Zyra. Zyra is my second most played champ and I play her in both Mid, Supp, and sometimes jung. As for what I feel should be done with her, I want a Cait sized update. More neat tricks up her sleeve and some minor tweaks to make her a fun and unique character. Things like more plants and more plant interactions are the perfect solution for this. Also the elephant in the room: She needs a new passive . I think everyone can agree on that. I don't have many ideas but what if her ult summoned new plants on seedlings while still giving the others more attack speed? I think that would be nice. Also Zyra is one of the few mages who offers some vision control. Maybe a Mandrake ward type thing? Anyways I hope this rework turns out well. What Zyra thoughts do you have? Or any other mage for that matter. I have played a bit of cass but stopped so I'm curious what people have say about her. Be careful and balancing the Plant Mama please riot !

I completely agree with you on the Zyra update. She is fairly balanced as she is, but saying that she needs a new passive is pushing it a bit. I can remember all of those satisfying kills I have gotten sniping someone after I died... Good times. But you asked about other mages too and I feel like a whole case should be made for Vladimir, and almost no one is standing up for him. His passive is perfect, gives him both damage and tankiness, which he needs with his fairly low base damages. Also, his ult should possibly changed to something more fitting to his lore, I really don't see where the inspiration came from besides it being all blood. His e is a fairly neat ability but could use some revamping, but his pool of blood has to stay. Moving on to Cass. Cass is an interesting champion but she has many downsides to playing her. While I feel her scaling passive is fairly cool and is very impactful in the late game, why does it have to cap at 500? Stacks can be harder to acquire and smaller rewards can be given, such as with a Nasus Q or Veigar Q just with her passive and poison, but with different stats of course not just raw damage. And the other thing I never understood is why she has two poison abilities. I think she should just have one poison ability that maybe applies the poison for a little longer, I'm talking to you Q! And the other one can be a new ability. That's all I have to say about the mage update except that maybe they should take out Vel' Koz and put in Xerath;) just because my arcane master needs a little update. And back to your post, I think Zyra really needs a VU more than anything, you almost need to buy Haunting Zyra to get well done visuals. All in all I am excited for the update:D
