How is Zyra now?

Hey guys, i've been using Zyra for a while now, and so far, the buff that she deserved the most was the definitely the movement speed. She was so immobile with no movement speed mobility or dash or blink. Just a slow ass paced plant.

The passive feels really sweet I guess. Sure enemies can step in them but they can't step in them all. You still have W seeds which last longer.

Her burst is still here, with more plants. She still suffers from assasins, like all other mages.

I guess she is a bit better than her old counterpart.

But now i'm asking for your thoughts now.

I've only played against her twice so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. She seems overtuned at the moment. She's capable of creating an area where you do not want to enter even as an assassin. The first zyra I fought was melting our squishies like they were nothing so I knew better than to get close to her or her plants. I think overall she can have way too many seeds out at once and their ratios could go down a little.

Squishies are the only thing she can kill, and that's if they're stupid enough to wander into a forest. Stupid squishies, and that's all.

I love her now. I used to play her all the time in S3-S4 when I started playing the game, but then found other stronger supports.

Now I feel like I am playing URF at some moments. I think all the random seeds have to play head games with the adc. She you go step on them? Farm? Is that one safe enough to get to and crush? Then you drop some seeds, hit q or e (e is easier to dodge) and watch thunderlords instantly proc and they just melt. The support better have shields or heals or they are in big trouble.

Honestly, her damage feels like crap right now. Her base damages are unbelievably low. Her ratios are also low. Her plants last less time and die faster until max rank of W.

Basically, Zyra is a mage-version of Illaoi. Franky it's awful. They took an immobile mage and tethered her power to a chunk of map.

At max rank with around 400 AP, you CAN'T 1-SHOT CASTER MINIONS with Q. Her waveclear is officially garbage-tier.

she seems like she does less damage than before but its easier for her to have these moments where she outputs a lot of aoe damage rather than just depending on her snare
