The only thing that bothers me about Zyra is...

How she doesn't even have to fucking land abilities in lane, she litterally misses all of her abilities and spawns plants that CC you, do pretty decent damage, are tanky and zone you from CS. Like honest to God she may be the lowest skill cap champion in the game.

Funny thing is that the nerfs on the Pbe target exactly that frustration.

Zyra: Plants no longer auto target nearby enemy champions who haven't been hit by one of Zyra's spells. "Yeah, we're going to take some power out of Zyra in 7.3. The main change is that her plants won't auto target nearby enemy champions who haven't just been hit by one of Zyra's spells anymore (they currently do so up to 350 range)." - Meddler src. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/z5agdFkv-ive-brought-up-zyra-before-and-stuff?comment=0002

Arkham Asylum*

she still will be viable for picks, Her laning phase just got kinda ruined, but in teamfights? Hell. she is still the beast

Fixed, ty.

She will not be able to disengage in teamfights, at least not the way she does now. She will be a subpar support, I have no doubt.

Not to talk about the worst possible case, you miss your 2 spells, you have no ult, your auto animation cannot finish and you get raped while your plants are watching. Kind of kinky, just sick.

EDIT: lol, they deleted my first comment? it was not offensive to noone, and it was totally related to the post and this board too. It was no poetry, but it wasnt insulting nor out of topic. Well, that's life.

Her nerf will probably barely affect her win rate or playrate. A skilled zyra will still be aids in lane it will just make it harder for unskilled ones to succeed.

I dont think so, I think it will affect the most to skilled zyras. Those who can squeeze her abilities the most. They are putting a lower skillcap on her, imo.

I see you play zyra alot. Shes been considered one of the best supports, if not the best for a very long time. She has great damage, good CC and is very good in lane. This change will mean that she has to hit her abilities instead of hitting WW Q for free poke in lane.

No, what she gets by "failing" her abilities is different from what she gets by "not failing" them. You fail in order to get something, and you dont fail if you want to get other things. What they are doing is just taking from her half of her kit, plain and simple. They are gutting the hell out of her, that's not a nerf, that's a rape.

I play a lot zyra, though, my main is zilean. And I'll stop playing zyra in order to play another AP support from 7.3 on.

EDIT:

Do you think that there is any problem at hitting her abilities? that she will not be able to poke because "she has to hit"? Lol, it couldnt be easier to land a zyra's Q in lane. That's not what they are nerfing with this change (they are going to nerf this increasing the mana she needs to do so, but that's another story). They are, like I said, taking half of her kit away from her, zoning potencial, pre-emptive plays, disengage, antigank power, kiting power.... they are fkng her HARD. It has nothing to do with "you have to hit your Q in lane".

That... might not be too far off actually.
