Dragon Sorceress Zyra still ults vines?

Poppystar·Feb 22, 2017·7 votes·1,327 views

Zyra's model for this skin is actually really nice however I'm a little confused as to why her biggest ability, her ult, is just purple vines popping out of the ground? Where are the dragons?

Why is her Q animation still vines when E is little dragons? Why do her wings pop out for E and not Q?

I saw some other complaints like her wings being placed on her butt and not her back where they properly should be and about the bland egg designs (though maybe that is just pre-release). Some complained that this skin is drastically mono-colored and that that seems to be a theme for all zyra skins.

Just putting these things out there in case something can be done about it. Its been years since her last skin so I understand the disappointment.

Ok, so now that the hype stepped back a bit, I think we can focus on all the issue so we can push this skin to it's full potential so we are fully satisfied after those years of waiting.

I love how you pointed out all the issues you could pick up around Boards (including my post <3 ).

I'm pretty sure we could add a little model of a dragons' nest/pit in the center of the ultimate so it looks more like tails of dragons (I suppose they are supposed to look like that)? Or even make it an egg with MANY-headed dragon bursting out (although it would be called a hydra in that case, right?)

The colours are a little bit dull and unsatisfying, almost as the old base Zyra model. I was actually kinda expecting little more green details, or even bright green instead of the pinkish colour where her skin is revealed, would add more depth in it imho and would fit more to the teaser. The hair colour doesn't fit either imho.

Buttwings were my argument. Just lift them, I don't think it would cause lot of animation from what I saw, most of the animations would remain unchanged or slightly changed.

I don't have any personal issue with eggs, but I understand if somebody has it, again, very different from the teaser.

Just my bit.

Yes! I read your post about the butt wings and I was honestly shocked. The turnarounds posted on twitter didnt show her wings open from behind. Also the skin spotlight video didn't show the recall or abilities from the back so I would have never noticed her butt wings.

I agree with the ult. It could be a bunch of little dragons or the nest idea is really good.
