Can we get a rework of Zyra's W and/or Passive?

I really like Zyra's playstyle, but I've come to realize her W is one of the main reasons she's so hard to balance. Her poke without a W cast feels like such a waste! It really limits your options. Feels like there's no reason to cast a spell pre level 2. Her Q and E are balanced off the manaless nature of her W and so have ridiculously high mana costs for what they actually do.

Honesty it just feels like an awkward mechanic to me. Like she could be so much more fun with either a reason to press W outside of combos, or a reason to press Q without W up.

I don't think there's much to say about her passive, it's nigh impossible to hit after the nerf to the missile-speed and width, and nigh useless since the nerf to its damage. Not that it was a very fun passive to begin with.

W is fine but having a passive while she is alive would be helpful, like maybe she could reduce the recharge time on W every time she auto attacks an enemy champion similar to what Karma does, and maybe deal some magic damage on hit.

She's a combo dot mage so W makes sense to me. Her passive makes sense lore-wise and allows for some kills after death, but overall feels VERY unsatisfying.

I think they should tie her passive in with her W somehow. Her whole kit revolves around her plants so why is her passive so alien to her kit?

Her spells should suck without W because that's the most iconic part about her. If her W didn't make spells strong then it wouldn't be so cool.

Likewise, making her passive more relevant would entail a nerf to some other part of her kit, which would suck. Her passive is fine for what it is.
