With her new lore stating that budding zychids cling to things, can turn bodies into flowers, and can resurrect Zyra from a fragment of bone. Is there any chance Zyra's kit will be changed to represent these kinds of abilities? I mean, her passive and W being the same ability does leave a lot to be desired out of her kit.

Say, for instance, Zyra being able to place buds on minions, or having Zyra turn into a bud herself and cling to an ally as she reforms, maybe if they die while Zyra is on them her old passive can trigger, turning into a giant flower, shooting a missile, and then consuming their corpse to turn into Zyra.

No, why would they update her kit when it's in a very stable spot right now?

The whole resurrection thing is an homage to her old passive, as well as a way for her to basically be an eternal monster. Her current kit works very well, and her passive and W being similar is not a problem nor does it leave anything to be desired, and actually sated a lot of the desires players had with her before her passive update - the desire to surround yourself with loads of plant pets.

Give her a charm, a poison, a spell vamp and a resurrection, she'll legit be the best champ ever made muahaha

I sort of like how Zyra is at the moment. She's quickly cut down if she's caught, but all the damage sown in her kit reaps tons of damage like Phreak's pun game.

I would like to see her a bit more viable in a solo lane though.

I wish they would have given her a better passive during the update :(

Her kit is like really solid though. Champions can have more expressive powers in the lore because that lends itself to that medium. A story needs to engage the imagination, the game if anything needs to be simpler because there is already so much stimulus on screen.

Zyra in game is better than fine. Other champs need work more desperately ( Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma )

Here's an idea, what if u can create a different, third type of plant when spawning them (both through passive and W) on dead minions or champions? Or maybe spawning a seed on a minion attaches it to the minion (or even champion) which then slowly consumes its life (like Malzahar E) and when it dies, or at the end of the duration, a new type of plant spawns. Heck the type of new plant doesn't matter, people can go crazy and be creative (maybe a plant that creates a poison zone around it, or a plant that can actively be controlled/moved, or a plant that heals Zyra or allies near it), but it would be nice to have a new plant that can be strategically used in certain situations.

The only thing I really want to be changed is the A.I. of the plants. They are so stupid, especially when considering how agressive other "pets" like Heimerdongers machines are (which are much harder to kill and last longer aswell).
