Dragon Sorceress Zyra Feedback + Death animation suggestion

First of all - I love the theme, but let's admit. Implementing such a theme into a champ that revolves around vines and plants? Not simple at all.

The things I dislike about her abilities are :

W - Looks like a slimy ball, doesn't resemble that much of an egg to me. Doesn't even crack like one when it's about to hatch from a spell.

Plants - The ranged one is somewhat lackluster, I think it should have wings and that it'd flap them like Aether Wing Kayle when she does her Q animation whenever it attacks. Also, make the wings much bigger and the eyes glow when it is affected by her ult. The melee plant just doesn't resemble a dragon at all to me. I'm not sure what can be done about it. The ult... It's just a recolored version with an awkward sound. The thing is, I can't quite think of anything else without making it disrupt gameplay so it's really problematic.

Now, for the most important part - the death animation

The vines that cover her body should drag her down into the ground and cover the hole. I think this would perfectly define how Zyra would truly die if it happened in lore, and would just overall look awesome. (All of her skins)

The BIGGEST complaints (and what a lot of Zyra mains complain about) are:

  • The ult simply feels like it's just a recolor of her base ult and it feels... lazy.
  • Her base voiceover makes little sense when you have dragons instead of plants. The only thing that makes it make even the most remote sense is that her ult still looks... maybe kinda thorny?

A lot of Zyra mains are complaining that they would gladly pay the Legendary skin price just to see the ult and VO changed up into a more proper dragon fantasy.

I mean, it's still quality but it still feels a bit like more could be done and that Zyra deserves better.
