Lackluster summoner spell options for support

So. I'm a support Zyra main. Zyra and I really get along. I keep a solid 70% winrate with her Zyra . However, the more I play her the more obvious it becomes to me that none of the available summoner spells feel right when I play her. The state of summoner spells as a whole is rather drab at the moment, with certain spells being picked almost 100% of the time depending on the role you're playing, but it's particularly bad for Zyra. Supports almost always get summoner 3 ; and while I do love a good exhaust, the range on the spell is not fantastic. Zyra thrives while fighting at a pretty long range from the enemy, allowing her plants to do the dirty work for her by proxy while the enemy is unable to return fire. So while the effects of exhaust are quite powerful (OP), while I'm using Zyra I rarely ever want to be close enough to the the enemy to actually use it. It feels very clunky to use and I'll often have to run towards the enemy to use it in a team fight. summoner 7 is a plausible choice, but ADCs almost always pick it so it gives diminishing returns. summoner 14 is interesting, but it's range is also low and as a support I'm not trying to chase champs down for kills. And.... yeah there's nothing else. I almost want summoner 13 back so I can spam my spells harder in lane. Just something that actually works when I'm not in the middle of the fight and actually positioned properly.

You can take summoner 11 and item 2403 so you can safely grab item 3302 and not worry about missing a siege creep...
