Zyra players and their obsession with penetration...

EDIT: Gonna be honest guys, this is what my support builds typically look like (without the 2 extra liandries). I don't buy sightstone unless its convenient for me. Typically the game is over before my teammates realize I don't have sightstone anyway. ~~Look at my match history for proof of this working~~. Forgot match history doesn't show when you get items. I don't typically get sightstone unless i have a nlr and amp tome in my inventory, or until i finish rylais.

item 3158 item 3151 item 3116 item 3135 item 2301 item 3157

I call it the Support Blue Build. So many actual Support items feel kinda lacklustre if they're not complemented by a 'proper' support kit. I figure if I'm playing something like Karma, Morgana or Zyra I may as well become a pseudo-mage after I finish item 2301 . Especially when the few actual Support abilities that I have still scale fairly heavily off AP.

(Note that it's item 2301 > item 3158 > item 3116 and then the rest of the items for the strongest mid-game.)

Considering you are an Ahri main (judging by your name) I don't think you are in much of a position to judge if ya know what I'm saying.

Well Zyra already is a pain to melee champs, who usually build resistances, so tanking magic penetration would only make sense.

Shred those ~~pimps~~ fighters/tanks ~~clothes~~ null magic mantles and ~~pin them down~~ apply crowd control for ~~a good time~~ a swift victory.

The tears from their eyes are partly from the unique passive.

Actually kind of true for support Zyra. Since building path is limited to vision item, Zyra has effectively 5 item slots and she gets access to those slots later in the game. By this stage players start building defences, so penetration becomes priority stat, otherwise you'll end up dealing no damage.

Also Zyra has the highest base damage in the game (in this case pure numbers may lie, but she's all about zone control, which means once you fight her in HER garden, you'll eat too much unexpected damage from thornspitters), so she doesn't need that much ap to actually sting.
