Mid lane mage, I've never been a fan of mid laners being dragged down bottom lane kicking and screaming.

I honestly think Zyra should be main mid secondary jungle. Her theme is pretty much jungle specific(plant lady, hello?), and she was released as a mid laner. I personally enjoy seeing ADC mains cry out because they have supports designed to kill people instead of cover their asses, but Zyra feels like she should be a mid laner with a jungle possibility.

This has been my thoughts since she came out on the PBE. Her Theme and past was a wild jungle plant.

She was released as midlaner and should be treated as one. Nothing against her being good support but she should be balanced around being midlane mage above all else.

If she had anything that would make sure viable top I would have put it in here but like ADC she cant do that consistently

I always liked Zyra as a kind of passively oppressive mid laner. Never really having the kill pressure to finish anyone who isn't stupid during laning phase, but can force them back and scale well. Kinda like Heimerdinger

After its release, she had sharp nerfs, almost the exit, hotfix from August 7 and so on. In her mechanics, too much counter-play, in the end, all these nerfs led to the fact that many were disillusioned with her as in the mid laner and abandoned her, until the LSS had come up with the idea to shove her against popular then Sona, Janna. This is where her role as a mage ended.

Want to get this more visibility because they are looking at her for 8.11

I'm a biased support main and want to keep Zyra out of botlane.

She is a mage who is literally friends with the jungle.

Wait has zyra ever worked in the jungle? Thought her passive rng nixed that?

Her passive made that even better!

The worst clear is always the first - and up to 4 plants anihilating red for you is great. You just have to learn to position your selfe correctly so the plants spawn where you want them to (most of the time).

To bad Echoes is absolute garbage for Mage-JGL. (Mentiong Mage JGL instead of AP JGL since some APs can use Echoes quite well. but random stuff like Fiddle, Zyra, Karthus have other needs.)

Before Echoes was changed she was good jungle. Plants tank jungle for her and she use to heal off damage to Jungle mods so she was 100% hps all the time.

Honestly mid. When she's played as a "support" she's either oppressive as fuck or useless. There is no in between.

5050BS1 votes

This is in part because when she is behind she does not do enough damage and her Roots dont last long enough to make up for it.

Take Morg She hits a Q for 3 F&*#ing seconds. If she is behind that 3s lets her get away, lets her allies focus

Zyra's is 1.75s at max rank, shorter then Morgs rank 1 (but it is a AOE!. SO IS LUX AND EKKOS (longer STUN) AND SION (longer STUN))

anywho not going to rant.

Zyra only is a good support if bot lane gets ahead or even

Mid-lane zone mage, similar to old Malzahar / Azir .

It would be nice if she could get a 2nd passive that restores % missing health when she steps on her own buds, that's been a bud for 5+ seconds.

I always though it would be cool for her Seeds to have an aura that healed her/allies in melee range of the seed when something died around it (champs/Minion/Monsters)

I need an option that says Midlane mage, that can dabble in jungle and supporting. Versatile champions are far more fun to play and see in proplay than a pigeonheld champion. they becoem flexpicks as well.

Primary Role Mid: 58% Support: 33% Jungle: 9%
