#Zyra #LoL #WhyNoOnePlays
Now that he didn't read the disclaimer I feel insulted.
She's weak. Her plants should inflict toxin as well.
i am a zyra main and i really like her play style, nothing you said is wrong BUT i dont agree that we zyra supps shouldn't carry. Give me kills and i ENSURE you we win
To be honest, as a Zyra main (both mid and supp) I find it easy to play her and yeah, for the most team fights, you have to play it safe or go all in with the rooting. I've destroyed lanes before with an amazing K/D/A and to be honest, she's good at ranked, not many ban her!
Sam main zyra support ftw
zyra has to be reverted to old zyra and placed back @ mid. it worked very well felt much more playable.
Zyra main here. She can do insane damage with just 1 item, this is why she is still good when behind, unlike ADCs, she is basically safety net in dmg department in case you loose lane. Also, it is mainly unplayable when they have 2 or more assasins, but with one you can deal, since you can also "assasinate" them the second they are out of position. And once you get your Zhonyas, there are very high chances you can 1v1 most assasins (since your plants do damage even when you're in zhonyas, and when you get out you have a new spell rotation, basically only tanks can survive to 2 spells rotations and plants attacking them). And, if you play her well, I feel like you win more games then if you play tanks or enchanters well, since these champions are very reliant on the team for them to play well, as in playing Zyra, you are the danger. Also, she is good late-game, due to her AOE damage and wave-clear, I saved games more then I can number by just wave-clearing when they kill the other team-mates. But yeah, definitely had those games where shaco jungle kills me 10 times in lane.
Zyra is the Queen! 😀
As a zyra main, give us back the round Q, the square is awkward. Maybe make the passive more controllable, it's very hard to make any good use of it. Maybe give her a small heal when her plants sprout so she gets sustain and ADC's don't hate us so much. Overall the video is true, it's what makes her so addicting though, hardcarrying from the support role (and it helps that her plants always accidentally killsteal by accident). You don't need to set traps or prepare plants beforehand, 2 plants is more than enough.
funny. that i chose zyra as my main this past two seasons. I now can play her the best. I still love it. I like the comment about solo carrying games. Because sadly in low elo it felt like I had to most of the time. which results in the adc being angry cuz he couldnt secure kills as good.
zyra require brain which most of lol players dont have
everything that was said here is very true. but if you play her well, she is very strong and is a hardcore bully against any champion in game. purely because of how much of a bully her e can be. I have been a lvl 7 at zyra for 3 yrs but i only ever knew how to play her as a support recently (due to ignorance).
you keep up with the gold problem for items by 100% buying the boots first. and making sure you KILL MINIONS when your adc recalls. that is the only way u can ever keep up when you fall behind and when you need more money. dont be afraid to kill farms when you can at lvl 10+.
Keep the vision score higher than any champions in game. because YOU WILL GET GANKED and YOU WILL GET INVADED BY 4-5 CHAMPS when you are really strong early game, which is a sad story.
i will always fall into playing her as supp purely because of how much a heavy bully she can be when played well🤣🤣
Honestly I think a really fair change they could make to zyra is increasing the amount of plants she has on her W by 1-2 or reducing the cool-down of her passive, she’d be a lot better if she had some help setting up for fights easier
you can control plant
targeting by hitting champs with your E and Q
Another Zyra main here, well since you asked, I counter her slow speed with speed boots+ cosmic drive, a lot of people don’t get why and are pissed about my build, but it decreases my death count while giving me better positioning and decent cooldown reduction. Her e used to be faster wish they didn’t change that.
You hit the nail with that one, great video <3
Playing Zyra passive or neatural is the key to her strength, couldn't agree more
I think the problem people give up on her, is because they play aggro
When I think her strength is in zoning like you said and also being defensive
As I Zyra main, what made me improve from my old terrible 2012-2013 playstyle was being passive
Lastly, Zyra being passive means you are safe, the more you stay in fights, the more you can do!
This helped me enjoy her so much
just play seraphine
My problem when playing her is that I feel like she has much less hp than other enchanter supports, same for Senna. I feel like with nami or other champs like lux I have more hp and I won’t die so fast
Playing zyra feels like euther u stomp lane early or wait for ur team to hold on until u get 3 items then it s game over
I think her planted seed cooldown (and possibly passive seeds) could have reduced cooldown for each seed that gets sprouted so you can move more with the team fight instead of getting left behind as the fight migrates a bit
I play her so Ib guess i'm NO ONE 😀
Considering everthing you said…
She dies easily, but has a ton of damage
She needs a lot of gold
She struggles as a support and as a mage
She can apply a lot of pressure if played correctly
Maybe she should be played as a botlane carry?
I don't understand why we compare champions like Lux, Zyra, Morgana, and Shaco with each other? Are you comparing them as supports?
How she doesn't have disengaging tools? and if she doesn't, how are shaco, lux, morgana, xerath better in this case?
She's one of the strongest supports, such a lane bully, she can control and pressure the lane and she has safe poke
I play her mid oddly enough lol
But I made it to Master tier playing her as a support >:D
I can instantly delete adcs or squishy champs and chunk tanks that's why I don't play her ofter, it removes the thrill, one's I do, she will be banned for sure lol
