@Riot .. help Zyra

Teslyn·7/10/2018, 2:58:52 AM·5 votes·1,163 views

imagine if you will... late game 45 mins in.. everyone is full items..

Zyra throws down her 2 plants from her W and sprouts them.. hoping that maybe her passive would have tossed some of the other ones her way ..

lucky to see 4 .. the garden has grown.

1 quick AOE from the enemy melee and they are all gone.. zyra gets to watch her nexus get hacked away and all she can do is stare at the timer of her W knowing that is her primary damage and she has nothing else. GG .. enemy takes the nexus..

There has to be something you guys can do to her to make her viable after 40 mins.. Her plants are basically chunked down quicker than a ward next to an assassin with item 3147 .

Can i get some dialog here. i just want to know why. and if there is any plans to address this..

Total damage to champions looks high at the end.. but it doesnt show how unsafe it is to poke constantly to proc item 3311 so i can ward before 15 mins.. and how i have to be careful not to kill or the thing locks out and i have to wait even longer before i can place some wards.... If you want zyra mid .. you know what you have to do.. give her plants some resistance and longer up time. This work around of making her plants die to 1 melee hit to force her out of support is complete bs.

give me something please.. going to throw some ideas out from things that would be very nice too things that need to be addressed.

make it around towers .. or the rubble of towers .. the plants have some resistances .. have her root last longer than 1-2 secs .. late game it is literally 0.5 of a sec.. tenacity just rips through them and its sad. her roots do only 50% of the AP.. Morgana gets 90% Her plant hits dont proc the mana flow band. you have literally made it so i have to walk up in unsafe area to try and land an ability on the enemy.

....... This is literally not fair.. i get to see people i know walk into diamond 1 tricking a champion and you made the struggle real for Zyra. i have to depend on my team to do a few things.. -Not stand on .. -Not run on me to escape the enemy collapse -Not out run me to chase because zyra cant keep up..

This meta .. or whatever you want to call it .. is horrible for zyra.. she cant keep up.. with the standard use of duel melee bot her plants are literally only good for 1-2 attacks before they are removed.

i am literally tired of getting run over again.. it feels like season 5 again.. Season 6 .. .she felt good.. real good .. didnt play much in 7 Season 8 .. literally feels like season 5 again.. she doesnt hurt hard enough .. she cant kite.. her plants are a 4/10 in brains.. (still better than season 5 and before) when there was a blind spot for her plants that would lock her up.. i dont know if you fixed it because i made a video and spammed it.. but if i helped.. thank you for addressing that.

But we are back to season 5 zyra.. it doesnt feel good anymore.. i have had to rotate to different champions.. Alistar Morgana Nautilus Taric i want you to know.. its not fun.. i just want to play 1 champion and climb with her.. not get run down repeatedly when i dump everything.. and i mean everything on the enemy and then they just chase me down..

its frustrating.. its boring .. its annoying.. tired of dying when i do everything right and the limitations of the champion are just lacking to defend herself..

Garen should not be able to run through plants .. throw his twirl down killing the plants then just charging right at me and ending my life.. or literally ignoring me while i watch the nexus get hacked to pieces.. losing because the people just have a better champion select than i did.. absolutely sad.. . please ... she fell into that state again of being ehhhhhh..

Maybe have her ult revive plants that died in the last second or something.

Here's the changes I'd like to see.

AI fixed to always target what Zyra has clicked on ,Champ or mob, prioritizing her biggest threat. Plants take 3 hits to kill Fix plant AI so it won't stop attacking a champion right at the last hit mark , they still randomly do this. Remove the 50% nerf on plant dmg from 2 plants attacking same target Some scaling on her plant dmg with items, because she needs to have some hanging ability with bruisers Remove her current random seed and replace with % AP dmg boost when in jungle, After all...She's a plant right?

  1. The plants need to be stronger, and I think they should scale in durability with her heath as well
  2. They should be ranged only and level up with ranks in W. Her Q and E both proc ranged plants.
  3. AI needs to be better for midlane zyra.
  4. Her ult should always spawn a plant in the center of the AoE, it should have double the health of normal plants and slightly longer range.
