QoL Zyra buff - Let her use E + Flash like Ahri PLS

Sonic Adventure··2 votes·1,662 views

I've been a Zyra main since I started playing, peaking at Diamond IV the last couple seasons.

Some of the main reasons why she's my favorite champion are her aesthetic, high impact in teamfights, and simply that I happen to find myself contributing to the match with her more than other champs I've tried so far.

I've been often suggested to stream on twitch, and when I think about it, I always end up picturing how she's not a champion like Rakan that can make frequent flashy - fun to watch plays. She's a non mobile champion with longer casts and slow / predictable projectiles. I know, that's why she's considered a counter - initiator. Basically, you need the enemy to be distracted with something else / engage your teammates before you cast your skills that would otherwise be pretty easy to dodge.

Obviously this is not "PLZ make this so I can stream and be COOL". I was just using that example as a desirable feature of champions, and reflect how all mains want to aspire to master their champion to execute potential high skill cap plays that you can't just make the first time you pick them.

This buff would raise the skill ceiling of Zyra a little bit, and allow for some VERY occasional nice plays (considering she needs to save flash to escape more often than not).

Last but not least:

Pretty please.

Zyra's high impact as well as dmg (that being said good AoE dmg as well) would make it much, much too busted for her to be able to throw a quick E with the flash interaction. Think of Ahri but not just anihaliting 1 but rather 2-3 people. I like zyra but this not how you will make her balanced/better but instead just dumb as hell

I disagree strongly. You can already flash + E in many situations, this would only noticeable results in high elo, and it's a harder skill sequence that you need to time well, which already prevents it from being "dumb as hell".

Not only that but she would remain vulnerable to all ranged fighting back and many meles, since she's only rooting them and not charming or stunning like Cassio. It'd still be a decision with very high risk and plenty of counterplay. And a Zyra with no flash is one of the most free kills as well.

She has been in negative winrates for many months, and never with good ones.
