Zyra Sucks and Broken

I really want to love Zyra but I can't.

She is slow for no reason. I put boots of swiftness on her and put the alatricity enchantment and she's barely above 400 speed.
Her plants are weak and don't Attack Speed scale with levels. For a champ so centered on their plants why are they so weak? Why don't they scale in speed like Azir's soldiers?
** Her plants don't target champs, don't last very long, and are easily killed**. Heimer gets 3 turrets and they are longer lasting and harder to kill than Zyra's plants. If you're going to make the plants weak at least let her plant more at a time.
Did I mention she's slow? Omg this is 10x worse than playing Ashe. About the only champ you might need a Luden's echo on.
**Her passive sucks. ** At least let her keep shooting for a while, like Karthus, instead of one shot that is hard to land.
**Super mana hungry. ** Athene's is probably not enough on her.

Don't you mean her passive sucks? Because her ultimate is not what you describe.

For point of notice, Zyra is pretty good as a support due to her harass, zoning, and ability to turn any fight in the jungle into a win.

1 & 4) She also has long range and minions. She's not supposed to be mobile. Heimerdinger isn't mobile, and Azir only has a bit of mobility on his E. They have higher base movement speed, she has better AoE CC. It's called a trade-off.

Her plants scale with her level and her AP. They don't get higher AS outside of her ultimate, but their damage goes up per level and with AP.
Now this is a serious problem, I don't understand why her plant AI has been targeting minions first lately.
I can live with a crappy passive, because, unlike Karthus, she doesn't need that to be useful.

Its sad when Shaco's jack in the box that is just 1 tool in his kit, is stronger than Zyra's plants that her kit is based on.
