Zyra's Basic Attack Animation

Hey, this is just a quick thought I had while I was admiring Zyra 's splash art. Her basic attack animation seems pretty outdated and is so much like every other mage in the game where she basically just throws some unidentified object (most likely a thorn) at the enemy. I think it would be pretty awesome if you could add some sort of thorned vine that wraps around her arm, just like in her splash art, that she instead whips the enemy with. The only champion in the game right now, I think, that uses any sort of whip animation would be Thresh, with his basic attacks, so it could be sort of like that. Honestly it's just a fun idea that would make Zyra significantly more appealing to me >.>. That is all, enjoy your day LoLers.

zyra needs a visual update in general :P

You don't want to rework visually ALL champs at once. That's a waste of time for nearly no gain. Even more since the graphic capacities evolve constantly. But yeah, I agree they have to deal with the worst cases (like urgot/taric etc) and that's what they're doing (slowly).

Maybe... maybe not. Her basic attack may look outdated for some people , but it doesn't look like the worst thing ever.

Also the problem that you underlined about the mages is true , but I think some of them are having a worse-looking animation than Zyra or some weird speed( visual and logical wise )?

If they plan on updating her basic attacks , they will most probably update at least an ability or her model. So , when she will get a decent to big Visual Update , she can slap people xD

Well I don't see a problem with it, though I don't see Riot making a character update just for a specific character just to fix a basic attack animation. Better yet what they should do is do a massive visual update on all champions. I hate seeing Jinx with it's non moving face then see that cute little f*ck gnar with his moving mouth, eyes, and his good graphics. I wanna see all champions in the same graphics era, you know?
