Mini Zyra Rework Idea

Most people agree that Zyra isnt exactly the best champion out there now due to her passive. Also people argue that she doesnt fill her role of queen of plants much. Here are some thoughts on a rework of Zyra.

First i believe it is best that Zyras W be made her passive. Makes room for a better skill in her W. Her new W would be something like this.

W - Seed Bomb

Zyra places a seed bomb on the floor that arms and turns invisible after 2 seconds and last for 1 minute. If an enemy steps on the trap it will explode in a 150 radius releasing spores that reveal and silence enemies for 1.5 seconds. Zyra gains a charge every 20/18/16/14/12 seconds and can store up to 2 charges.

What kind of plant queen doesnt have a plant that sprays some sort of gas/spores on her enemies and inflicts a status effect on them? Well this solves the problem. It doesn't deal damage but instead spawns a plant to deal damage.

Then her passive

Passive Rampant Growth Whenever Zyras skills hit an enemy champion or large monster, they cause a plant to grow under the enemy which attacks them. The plants effects are based on which skill she used.

Deadly Bloom - Thorn Spitter grows and lasts for up to 10 seconds, attacking enemies with long-ranged attacks for 20 (+ 6 × Zyra's level) (+ 20% AP)

Seed Bomb - Leech Seed grows and latches itself on the enemy for up to 5 seconds, attack them every second for 10 (+ 3 × Zyra's level) (+ 10% AP) and healing Zyra for the damage dealt

Grasping Roots - Vine Lasher grows and lasts for up to 10 seconds, attacking enemies with short-ranged attacks for 20 (+ 6 × Zyra's level) (+ 20% AP) that slow its target by 30% for 2 seconds.

Currently one of Zyras problems is she usually has only 2 plants to hit 5 enemies in a teamfight that die out in like 2 seconds after spawning. This is controversial as the thing about plants is that although they are rather fragile they grow in numbers to make up for that. Hence it reflects Zyra better as the queen of plants to constantly have plants growing around and attacking enemies in a teamfight than to have only 2 plants grow. In return the damage of the plants are lowered slightly.

Her new plant Leech Seed also solves her identity crisis of not having a plants that wraps itself around the enemy and absorb it nutrients to heal. It can still be killed by enemy basic attack only it sticks on you. In return, it deals half the damage of her other plants and last half the time.

Her ulti gains a new passive

R - Stranglethorns

Passive - Vengeful thorn

Whenever Zyra dies her ulti will automatically be cast at the place of death dealing half its damage.

A random big flower popping up and shooting a projectile isn't much of my idea of 'revenge'. These plants want REVENGE. They want to thrash around wildly seeking out those who killed their queen. not His her ulti kinda does that just make it so her ulti procs when she dies, of course with reduce damage to avoid being op. And since this passive is obtained at lvl6 it doesnt discourage pre-6 gankings on her.
