Hi, I'm VERY dedicated Zyra main practically since I started playing (the end of season 4). Since then, I was waiting for a new skin for my love. I was so hyped up when I saw the teaser. Now that we can see the preview, I must say, I love the spell effects and model, except ONE thing:

Does she really need to have those wings on her ass?

Like... It looks like she was from some kind of a bad anime solely because of that! I don't know who came up with this anatomic bullshit, but it is absolutely contrary to anything esthetic. PLEASE, consider putting them on her back/shoulders normally, even if it takes one more patch, I'll gladly wait, I managed to wait for two and half a year!

Thank you for reading this, Passionate player and infinite Zyra lover Sexy Bisex Plant

Hi! I wanted to drop in with a bit of context here - you're right in that they're not anatomically correct, and that was done purposefully. In the case of Dragon Sorceress Zyra, we took a bit of creative freedom, and made something that was a bit more outside the box in terms of design, and in return, sacrificed practicality.

I completely agree on the buttwings, they'd be perfect if they were actually in the right spot. Also kinda disappointed in how different the eggs look from the teaser. The scaled texture was wicked imo.

The look of this plant makes me wanna buy it, and I don't even play the champion :l

the wings on her ass look better than all her abilities tbh.

But it draws attention!

I think the wings wouldn't be out of place if they came out form her shoulders instead of the lower back. And a bit ethereal like the little things around her wrists.

I see this in anime from time to time. It bothers me less than it used to. Still not right though.

I actually love the wings and think they would honestly look weird if they were on her back/shoulders, not to mention if they were put there I feel that a lot of people would mistake this for a Morgana skin. Side note, the wings kind of make her hips look bigger and I'm all for that.

I love the wings, reminds me of Morrigan who have her wings on her waist too.
