I feel like I'm gonna be the only one abusing Zyra in the mage update..
Because I know how to play her and while her gameplay didn't change much I am very fond to the changes. She is a much more damage and control than heimerdinger during laning phase aswell as having an absolutely powerful teamfight kit. She has the potential to absolutely deny a melee champion from farming as long as you can manage your mana. As a Heimerdinger main I feel like maining Zyra now. The reason are as follow. Zyra has Turret like Plant that has insane range aswell as 2 types. Short Range Melee Plant that applies slow and Ranged Plant that cover a wide area. While Zyra Plant doesn't stay permanently as Heimerdinger, her plant offer more versatility than Heimerdinger, such as setting up combos poke like W,W,Q and commanding the A.I at auto attacking the enemie champion with your Auto attack. Zyra passive is what could Heimerdinger Passive could have been. I'm talking about the new one, having seeds that spawn randomly offers quite an advantage to Zyra. Almost like Illaoi passive but at a much much more extend. You either step on the seeds or get comboed to death by a EQWW combo. Unlike Heimerdinger Turrets, Zyra plant can't really be one shotted. They do take like 1 to 2 damage depending on the spell. Aswell as spawning in different location together. The biggest problem of Heimerdinger is that his Turret are Stationnary and do have a cast time to set them up aswell as dying in 1 shot late game. Its more of Zone control than actually offense like Zyra. But unlike him Zyra Set up the Zone and not wait for them to be in turret range or currently diving heimerdinger.
If you guys want to update heimerdinger. Keep in mind that while Zyra is still different than heimerdinger, I think Heimerdinger should need an gameplay update. Such as the SAFE Zone, Within his turrets area heimerdinger or allied champion should feel safe. That Diving Heimerdinger or his allied means that you are in serious trouble. I think Heimerdinger turret should not be abled to be displaced by crowd control or stunned. They are Stationnary towers that offers zone protection through offense.
