Minion Aggro: Unintended nerf to zyra?

Minions now prioritize their attack on zyra if zyra's plant is attacking any champion. This is a HUGE nerf to zyra's lane power.

Zyra's Q and E is already very difficult to hit and plants are very unlikely to attack enemy champion when there are enemy minions around. A while ago a huge nerf landed that zyra plants attack no longer trigger mana flow. Now even if I successfully hit a Q or E on enemy there is very little reward in the trading as I will immediately take large amount of minion dmg.

I couldn't remember exactly when, but it started in recent month(s).

As a zyra support main I feel this makes zyra really weak in her power level, as this mechanism (minion aggro on the owner of pets) is uniquely nerfing zyra.

She is ranged, all her abilities are ranged. Are you saying Zyra should never get punished for anything she does? I have played against countless zyra's all they do is spam. Whether they hit it or not the plants already control the lane when they are up.She is super oppressive. Not to mention the "support" zyra one shots squishy by simply pressing r.
