SICK AND TIRED OF ZYRA BEING BUGGED AND BROKEN

Witchy Wench··44 votes·14,018 views

That is 4 games in a row now where I spawn my plants and NOTHING happens. Legit NOTHING. They just spawn and sit there. AND ranged champs like MF 1 shot them. What the HELL is Zyra's purpose if her plants are broken. If this were one of Riot's fav champs like Lux, yasou, or MF the whole game would be brought down and patched within a day. Zyra has had multiple game breaking bugs for MONTHS.

Don't know how you are using your pants, but for me, the interesting stuff starts happening once I put them down. :^)

Ok I dunno what's up with ppl saying that "XXX champion has all these bugs that aren't fixed, so Zyra's shouldn't be". If a champion has a bug, then it should be FIXED. WHY are you guys arguing for Riot to ignore these things???

You know you actually have to land the spell that spawns the plants or auto attack once the plant is spawned right?

That makes it prioritize the champion struck by the spell. The issue is that when you don't land the spell they will literally just sit there not attacking anything until you attack something.

FYI, that's not how they're supposed to work. They're supposed to be the exact same as Heimer turrets, auto attacking the nearest unit until Heim/Zyra attacks a champion.

Probably because no one likes playing against Zyra

as a frequent zyra support player, I can confirm this as unembellished truth

but I like playing against them :'(

Yeah as someone that plays Zyra a lot myself I don’t mind fighting her.

Illabethe4 votes

Sorry.... but if they don't attack 1) You missed with your skill 2) You probably used E to proc them (lower attack range) and 3) you don't auto attack the target you want them to attack.

I've heard this over and over..... but I SPAM Zyra. I never have this problem. Make sure to spawn plants with Q, not E, and make sure the spawn is closer to champions than minions. And if possible, make sure you can be in range to throw an auto attack.

It's also...... not like her Q and E don't do high damage by themselves. If you can't Q > W > W > E > R a MF to death without plant attacks, there's something wrong with how you play. Plants are for killing tanks/melees. And which you don't spawn them at point blank range to the melee attacker. And if you Ult them when positioned correctly, they reset their double HP and attack quicker.

You. Do. Not. Prioritize. E.

What's the bug?

Thefrostyviking1 votes

Might be the thing about long range skillshots having poor visual indication of where they are hitting, sometimes it kinda feels random much like how threshhook seemingly passes halfway through some minions before hitting champs but its just hitting the hitboxes on the ground.

This is a huge deal. If you cant spawn your pants, you are essentially nude, and its a huge violation of the Terms of Service.

Riot, fix this so we can spawn our pants properly.

Mordepool3 votes

Suggetion :

  1. locate Bugs & in detail show 100% replication with video evidence.

  2. Compile these bugs into a list rated from game breaking to inconsequential.

  3. After a year of continued work adding to the list. Publish a Book about the bugs listed.

  4. Wait for Riot response/ action.*

*note - Morde mains have been in step 4 for almost 2 years

I wish you the best of luck getting your bugs resolved

This has been done many times. Riot just dont want to spend time on her because she is not "Flashy"

FOR JUSTICE3 votes

Tbh tho, knowing riot i feel like the second they fix her bugs and her plants actually start becoming a thing and attack what theyre supposed to, they are going to gut her for something along the lines of "hurr-durr srry her laning phase is too oppressive for an early game based champion"

As Antenora said, the plants have a priority targeting system: First: Champion hit by the spell that spawned the plants Second: Zyra's auto attack target Third: Whatever is in range

If you spawned the plant and there was an enemy in range that it's ignoring, that would be a problem. If they were just attacking minions instead of champions, that's normal If MF killed it with one auto from max range, I'd be a little surprised. I don't think she can actually kill it with 1 auto without it getting 1 shot off but I could be wrong

The first and last problems you mentioned are whats going on. Plans are summoned and won't attack enemies in range. And yes, Mf can literally auto attack and 1 shot Zyra's plants.

Pandeonor6 votes

MF´s aa´s can 1-shot the plants because her passive (bonus AD-damage) count as 2nd damage source.

The plants have been frequently AFKing after spawning. That's the problem. They do nothing.

MF specifically can oneshot plants. I think it's her passive.

Maybe it's why she's considered a counter.

SociopathFriend1 votes

She's a counter because her E allows her to easily poke Zyra from outside of Zyra's effective range and because Zyra's plants are extremely useful for carrying a MF Q straight back to Zyra.

Sire Hippington1 votes

Partially, also because her E is a damn effective weedkiller aswell, the plants can be used for her Q bounces, her ult also instantly wipes out all plants cought in it, she can poke that squishy mage reliably from outside range, her W passive makes it hard to land spells on her, and post 6 a E+R combo basically kills Zyra from full as she's squishy, has no mobillity and also no instant interupt(by the time her ult knockup kicks in, she's already dead)

A good amount of the time they bug out and just sit there nit even attacking minions with enemies clearly in range, this is the bug. Not that they prioritize minions when you miss your combo lol. This has been a known bug for quite a while and nothing has been done about it, which is unfortunate. And I'm pretty sure you are right, I think they are designed to die on 1 melee or 2 ranged autos, so mf would have to be q-autoing which is pretty reasonable to insta kill them. Hope someone sees op's post.

Sire Hippington1 votes

mf would have to be q-autoing

Thx to her passive, a single AA(or Q) is enough on MF.

The bug being that the plants target objects such as orianna ball or Thresh lantern. Hence, they're stuck doing nothing.

Funny thing is this is true, albeit hyperbole.

ADCs and nearly all other AD champions are heavily favored by Riot. They are the most able at providing constant action, even if only with right-clicking, unlike mages and most other AP champions. It's why you see AD champions (especially ADCs) so much in promotional images and videos. It's all for the e-sports. Cooldown-based gameplay is a no-no.

They went through a Miss Fortune phase for a while, but now they're on Jinx. Just look at every piece of promotional material Riot has put out over the last six or so months and see how many things Jinx is in. They even featured a streamer recently who mains mid lane and mages (KayPea), but in the animated video they made for her, they show her playing... you guessed it, Jinx! On top of that, on the wall in her "room" in the video, she has huge, framed pictures of Jinx and Blitzcrank, when in reality she doesn't.

On the topic of Blitzcrank, him and Thresh are the only supports Riot is willing to show off. You can guess why. Like with Jinx, look at all the promotional material Riot has put out and you'll notice how often the two can be found. True story: Some years ago, Thresh had a bug with his E not working properly. When it was discovered, Riot collectively had a panic attack and had difficulty fixing it. Some time later, a random player figured out what was causing the bug and made a thread about it. Not long after, at least three different Rioters appeared in it to show their gratitude. I'm not joking.

Lux is only a "favorite" when Riot absolutely needs to showcase a female mage (Ryze is the male mage of choice), but they avoid it when they can. The only reason they do anything with AP champions still is because of the tremendous community backlash that would ensue if they completely ignored or deleted them, not to mention skin sales.

Bottom line is Riot hates AP. It's why AP items are terrible compared to all the plentiful and wonderful AD items. It's why they took away Will of the Ancients, claiming "spell vamp is unhealthy for the game," while releasing Death's Dance. It's why AD champions have access to so many sustain options. It's why they had no problem nerfing a champion like Malzahar literally a dozen patches in a row immediately after his rework, while taking their sweet time to touch one of their golden children ADCs when they desperately need nerfs ("We're trying to find a way to shift power from one ability to another so they will still be a viable pick."). It's why the tagline for the Precision rune tree (the ADC tree) reads: "Become a legend." They retconned an entire city-state to be against magic.

The evidence has been there for years, and slowly more and more people are waking up to it.

What hasn't been bugged forever? Sona and karthus still have tons of bugs that never get fixed because they don't get played lol.

Luxyria1 votes

The bug for anyone who does not know is that when Zyra creates a plant, the plant will not attack (mostly happens to ranged plants.) If the plant has killed something (minions, champions) it will most likely start attacking the air.

PaffWasTaken1 votes

She is already incredibly strong and annoying to play against even if her whole kit is bugged. She definitely needs to be fixed (her plants especially) but doing so will make her skyrocket through the meta. If she ever gets fixed, be ready for the fact that she'll also gets consequential nerfs who will be, honestly, really needed. Riot already dosen't take Zyra mains seriously since they ignore their requests for so long, but they'll take take them seriously either if they complain about nerfs after they fix her kit

Just had an aram as zyra, and i also noticed my plants sometimes not doing anything after spawn. But most of the time, i didn't have time to notice as the average livetime of my plants was about 0.2sec.. Ahrie oneshot them with W, or a bunch of them with a single Q just as colateral damage...

Asides from fixing her buggs, i's like to see a revert for her, her garden iss opressive as fuck when tanks actually survive and do what they fuck, but if the plants are easy to kill she's usless. The old one with less but more impactfull Plants was easier to balance and more interesting to play as makeing good use of you're W was very important.
