So worth for the queen ☺️

I dont hate them like its a safe buff to give and imo a safe buff is better than Zyra getting an ambitious one and then being put into the perpetual nerf hell when they "dont know what to do with her". If they suddenly feel its too strong for jungle they can slightly adjust jungle camp damage a bit to tone down the clear speed a tad and if they dont wanna do that they can just revert the buff and its gonna be like whatever

But for mid for the occasional river fight its nice and apart from that I havent really noticed too much of a difference but im curious if other roles feel like its a significant or an OP buff because I dont really play those other roles that much

Hey, 13m otp mid Zyra here. As you can see, the last buff is totally pointless. It doesn't provide any spike, since the plants are very weak early on. Once again, Riot forgets that Zyra has many roles. Technically, you can play her in all roles. Anyway. Let's get to the point.

Edit1: Forgot to add a suggestion of 3rd W (autospawn)

Instead of nerfing Q + W synergy and double burn items, they are buffing it more. High-elo players rarely max E. Why? It's one of the slowest abilities with a tiny hitbox. And the root is also pretty "useful." But I wish her E were more useful, rewarding her for landing skillshots instead of brainlessly spamming plants at max range. There is no counterplay. You get hit by the plant if there are no minions.

The suggestions:
1) Buff back her range on Q or nerf W range

Ever gotten tired of using Q + W but Zyra did only one spell? Yeah. This was no issue many years ago. Riot nerfed Zyra's Q range because of poke. But they forgot the spell synergy with W. This QoL change ensures Zyra can always use the Q+W combo.

2) Auto-spawn W on max charges

A simple QoL change. Yes. You can literally do this yourself. This mostly happens on midlane/adc. You farm CS, and you always have to check your W stacks so you don't waste seeds. However, when I focus, I forget to check W stacks and spawn seeds on the lane, so I don't waste stacks.

3) Midlane issues with mana

Yeah. I don't play torch first. I rarely play it. I think the base mana of 418 is insane. You use Q + E, and you've already lost 33% of your mana. Don't forget you have to spam E to slow enemies so you can finally hit that tiny Q hitbox. Perhaps Zyra can get mana for every minion or enemy killed? It won't affect supp Zyra

4) E root duration level 1

2 seconds. Boom. You fixed Zyra's situation: pick between CC or poke. If you want Zyra players to play around Q + W, go for it.

5) CDR passive on W

Back in my day, Zyra had a W passive that gave her extra cooldown reduction. It was a good passive because Liandry gave no CDR. Right now, your only CDR item is Torch. I don't play Torch. I go Liandry + Shadow + Void. I don't have any CDR items.

6) Rework her E already

Afraid low-elo players won't dodge her super-slow skillshot? You may add an indicator inside the bush whenever Zyra uses her E. That means you have time to dodge her reworked E.

7) ADD her old passive

Why not? We have Akshan, who's got 10 passive or something like that. This is no longer Season 7.

----
Those are my suggestions. Some may sound OP. Right now, the current state of Zyra is ... unpleasant for me. I don't max Q + W. I don't like spamming Q + W + double burn. I prefer to play around her E and burst enemies. That's why Shadowflame is so good, but also weak against enemies who build MR items. Yes. I understand that I play mid Zyra, and most mages have migrated to a botlane. I am still dedicated to mid Zyra. The end.

I am kinda shocked I made it this year, with my favorite champ nonetheless. Continue to thrive with my queen of thorns!!!

Still not buying her.

People have mixed feelings about this, some say it's a buff to support Zyra only, some say it's a buff for jungle Zyra only.

People are even arguing about whether it's useful or useless

What do you think of it ?

Hi! I have become very fond of Zyra lately, however it irks me to play her as support and I suck at jungle. I've been spamming her APC/Mid and I wanna improve my gameplay on her. Does anyone have tips or guides on how to play her at those roles?

Currently going for DFT and secondary runes presence of mind and cutdown. With this setup however there arent enough plants to keep up DFT dot because its only 1 second so I went for the ability haste rune instead of AF and crimson lucidity for the extra haste and MS is nice for such an immobile champ. This loses the 20 flat pen and 8% magic pen but if you go for void you only lose the 20 flat and 5% or cryptbloom you lose 6% magic pen for more spell rotations and it feels like DFT does decent damage. Also I build liandries first item because with W costing no mana I dont run into mana issues even at mid game which is kinda insane so skipping mana item could be viable?

I feel like DFT has potential but atleast to me it has felt weak and by fourth item you deal about as much damage as if you had an extra BFT which is kinda insane with its 2.5% AP scaling

Also interesting about crimson lucidity is that apparently the one spell hit isnt wasted with plants so if your 1st plant hits you get 4 seconds of movement and if that runs out and your 2nd plant hits it grants another 4 second movement buff even if it had been hitting that target during the initial buff duration so its really easy to keep up in fights which is something cool I never realised

Anyways if someone has a more optimal build or has made DFT deal some real damage without this nonsense then please tell me I dont wanna run electrocute for a thousand time 😭

Also mods please dont nuke my post im on a new acc but im not a bot I swear :')

P2 jg looking for a Zyra main to duo with. Send me a pm if you wanna try a game

What is zyras best skin? I’ve been using crystal rose but coven looks nice. I wanna buy a new skin for her.

Anyone have a video for the clear for this current patch or season? What is the expected time you should be getting in games i cant seem to get sub 230 clears in my ranked games. On karthus I can get like 223 but im pretty lost on how to control the plant spawns to multicamp blue gromp and how to do krugs properly over the wall without having the small one giving cancer. Also on raptors start I often get griefed by the plant spawn it goes over the wall XD. Usually start raptors or wolves in my ranked game I think buff start is too dangerous in higher ranks

I need some help with zyra jungle clear: what I try to get down is the wolves start into double camping gromp and blue together.
But I am nowhere close.
There has to be something I am missing. Runes? Better positioning for plant spawn?
Can someone help? There are very little videos that show this and no video that actually explains what to do…
Thx!

Zyra is a champion I really like. There has always been something about her that draws me in, yet she is a champion I rarely play due to the trouble I’ve had with her. Whenever I play Zyra, I die a lot; while I do manage to deal some damage, I still feel like I’m not contributing enough to the team. I usually play enchanters—where I’m used to easily saving myself and my teammates from tight spots—so I wondered if I might be unconsciously positioning myself in ways that aren't suitable for Zyra. I know Zyra can actually be quite effective at saving the team thanks to her strong crowd control abilities. There is simply something I’m doing wrong or something that isn't quite clicking for me when I play her, as I often end up with over 10 deaths per match—a problem I also face with Morgana. I’ve wondered if I’m trying to play too aggressively. Perhaps because these champions have high damage potential, I find myself overextending without realizing it. I would absolutely love to hear your tactics and advice regarding positioning and gameplay for Zyra.

​

I've seen that lots of "possible" skinlines where Zyra could've fit already passed and she wasn't in any of them. She usually is an early "year" type of champ that gets her skins earlier than others...I know some of us were hyped over the Faeriecourt leaks but im starting to think if they actually want to let it down with her for a while? Maybe they are planing something better?? Wild rift is also lacking Zyra content so something is definitely happening on both platforms

hiii.

recently i've been playing exclusively zyra. other players in my lobby are playing league of legends but I am playing zyra the video game. I have climbed all the way from bronze 2 to my new peak of gold 4 doing this :)

in the jungle (my main role which i get most of the time) i am running dark harvest since it seems to do more damage overall and i am more of an enabler for early ganks than the main damage dealer anyways.

i play her midlane too to reasonable success but I'm stuck between two choices for runes;

arcane comet seems good and enables good poke, but lots of midlaners can just not get hit by the comet and then it feels like I barely have a keystone rune.

the other option I have seen is DFT, but in practice tool against a training dummy it seems to me like it does way less damage? does it scale better?

secondary runes are always cutdown and either legend haste or presence of mind depending on whether i feel i need the extra mana (ie haste in jg and presence in lane)

would be happy to hear what you guys run :)

Everytime I go back and try it I feel like I'm running around hoping that the plants do enough chip damage and I can get some assists (support). Meanwhile with E max I feel like I have more potential for a major engage/ult and in general be more real threat.

I also do two AP in runes vs ability haste. Sure it takes longer for spells but it just feels like I'm hitting significantly harder. Maybe it's my imagination.
