"(...) We did expect her to be a mid laner primarily, especially given common wisdom at the time was that that was just what mages did. Looking back though her kit's one that matches support play a lot better than mid so we unintentionally mislead people about what they should expect from her. (...)

"To get her to both support and solo lane I believe we'd need to get a number of levers onto the kit that offer solo/CS based power to make her more effective there without creating support problems again."

So. Seems like they kinda gave up on the project to balance Zyra around midlane. What he's basicly saying is that they had to gut midlane Zyra in order to get support Zyra onto a balanced level and now they don't know how to give midlane Zyra any power (outside of emproving her farming abilites) without changing that much for support Zyra and his excuse is that her kit is better suited for an actual support (I'm not agreeing there).

Guess we can expect something similar to what they are currently doing with Brand, cuz he's kinda in the same situation. They are giving him a flat mana refund upon killing units wich are burning, granting him better mana sustain in lane. Well. Something like that will hardly change anything for Zyra sadly cause it's rare that one runs oom with her. BUT maybe they will increase her pushing power by increased damage to minions (maybe from her plants or her spells) and that could be actually quite usefull.
