User blog comment:Jadenvalor/Zyra's viability in season 5/@comment-4706772-20150320204134

There are no unviable champions. There are simply balanced champs and op ones. Some balanced champs are more difficult to use well than others either because of skill involved, lack of strong early game, or no mobilty. That does not make them unviable, it just means it take skill to make the champ shine. Zyra is completely viable as a support mid and jungle, and your idea of Zyra top is interesting. A tip for playing immobile champs: position carefully and only use flash offensively if you KNOW you will get the kill.
