Can we put SOME of Zyra's power into, you know, actually LANDING her abilities.

Right now Zyra literally doesn't even have to land abilities to complete fuck you over. Just spawn 20 quadrillion plants that don't have any way of stopping them but walking to them and getting fucked over and dying. Her ENTIRE kit is just spawn plants kinda sorta but not really close to the enemy adc and one shot 3/4 of their hp with slows.

So call me crazy but I think you should get REWARDED for dodging the ability (or if your Zyra for landing the ability) rather than the ability just being a nice bonus to the plants stupid levels of damage. Make the counterplay not "oh here let me stand under tower because if I don't Zyra's plants will shoot me because they auto focus champions" to "hey I dodged Zyra's abilities now let me counterplay that since her plants don't 3 shot 3/4 of my hp."

I disagree, i think the plants are whats wrong with zyra, zyra performs far too well without any plants at all, and decent play of her should almost all but ignore optimal "farming of plants" in place of landing your e+q+ult+ignite combo for instant kills.

Zyra is a massive burstmage with one of the lowest "sustain dps" mechanics tied in. Just doesnt make sense.

Zyra plants ONLY attack champs if she hits them.

Plants die in less then 1s of being spawned.

If you are losing to a Support Zyra then most likely you are bronze/silver and dont know how to play vs her.

She's just like shaco, if someone lands into his boxes, they're practically dead if squishy.

the last thing Zyra needs is more power too anything. Easily one of the highest damage champions in the game right now with crazy amounts of bully and harass. Deffently a noteworthy "Support"

Yeah... She is designed to be a control mage, but since all her power is in her plants she gets countered by ANY mage in the midlane. On botlane however she can just wait for a plant to pop up near her enemies (because the spawn range is not well designed for botlane) shot her Q or E onto them and gets free poke and spellthieve's procs (because morgana only gets 10 gold per w but zyra for each plant basic attack). Not to mention that her whole rotation does less damage than 2 plants attacking an enemy

I believe Zyra needs a full rework.
