Possible addition to Zyra passive

I think Zyra's passive could be that if she manages kills an opponent with her passive she can either:

a. Revert to a targetable flower bud stage and revive after a few seconds like Anivia egg; the health she regains is a fraction (maybe 1/6) of the damage dealt to all enemy champions killed from the passive

b. Grow a targetable root to the location of the dead enemy champion and rebirth there the same way as stated from part 'a', if she kills multiple champions with the passive, the root grows to where to last enemy champion killed from her passive

To prevent her from being immortal, the revival part of the passive only occurs every once in a while like how Zac/Aatrox has a cooldown timer for their passive, but her original passive still procs whenever she dies

Sorry for posting this in the wrong category if I did

That's a really cool suggestion, and a change that would fit well with Zyra's playstyle and backstory. We'll do a bit of experimentation with that sort of approach, see if we can get a version that plays well in game without being excessively strong. Can't guarantee we'll end up shipping any changes, definitely worth investigating though.

How often do you kill people with your passive?

Giving her a non-bs revive if she manages to hit and kill an enemy? That's the coolest thing, and barely requires any compensation nerfs considering how difficult it is to pull off :D

Zyra approves.

I like the first idea, but she'd probably be nerfed to compensate for a change like that, and I wouldn't want that.

A lot of people complain about the passive, and yeah, it used to be much better and it's kind of lackluster now, BUT I'd be lying if I said I haven't gotten quite a few kills with it. Not so difficult to hit if you snare them before dying or lay some E plants before dying, that's why there's a delay in the first place.

What is think is a proble m in your concepts is a fact that you have to kill someone with your passive.

How many times did you actually achieve that? I believe that for this effect to have any impact on her, the projectile should be much easier to land or the revival should not be dependant on killing someone with your passive.

I actually like the idea of seed-zyra having to look for "desirable soil" which would be represented by any dead champion. Or to widen the spectrum to champions that were killed by any Zyra abilities.
