Zyra in TFT

{quoted}

Tbh she's not that broken I know she seems annoying because of potential for spam, but Since people discovered her on PBE, I rarely score #1 or even #2 going Infernal or summoner or both..... because there are just a lot of builds who make all the minions moot.

For example:

Critting Electric builds almost 1 shot. Kha Zix with 2 Seraphs can 1 shot until he's bursted. Mages can double cast aoe abilities and literally 1 shot whole teams. Ocean Mana Regen builds can spam so fast that the minions can't keep up.

Oh. And since each game 5 people are chasing her, you generally are lucky to get a 2 star, even though she's a 1 star champ.

You're literally comparing 3-5 cost units and full teams to a 1 cost unit

Zyra should be compared to 1 costs, 2 costs at most. You're literally comparing her to Zed, Kha'Zix, and full mage teams in terms of power and its obvious why that's not a helpful comparison. And being real, by the point that your units that counter Zyra come into play you likely are getting a Summoner comp online anyway and Mage/Summoner is a hybrid comp that's commonly taken on the Ocean map, so there's a chance that option isn't even there. Hell, Zed which is the unit that makes Electric a comp to any degree is a SUMMONER. He's a key piece to the comp. So even out of your suggested counters, if you're fighting a player who got ahead early using Inferno/Summoner they're likely stealing those units from you with their level/gold lead.

Being frank, the only units I can think of that are better than Zyra in the 1/2 cost Category are Predators and Woodland/Druids. And those are early game comps without a clean transition given they're all 1-2 costs wheras Summoner is one of the strongest late game comps. Similar power late game comps like Light with Nasus/Vayne or Assassins with Diana/LeBlanc are just inferior to Zyra in power in the early game. There's something whack with that.

And it's worth noting - she's already had to have been tapped down on PBE. Given she's a unit that gets to dps you even while dead and she does a lot more damage than almost any 1 cost just by design she's very, very effective.
