The bonus health on her W only really off-sets the changes they made to what damage plants take from different sources, and it's overall a nerf. I wish they hadn't made changes to the way plants take damage and just left it at 4 health all game, personally. The nerf is good when there's so many of them.

However, her W ability overall lacks any level up incentive. I kinda wish Garden of Thorns was a passive on her W, rather than a separate ability. Yes, she's very strong, but it's so... messy. Design wise, that is.

Don't get me wrong - she's incredibly strong, but I feel like her W is just a "button to activate her innate" and it honestly would have been better if they'd actually done that. For example, "Zyra's second ability, Rampant Growth, is considered to be her innate ability; it is available from the start of the game and cannot be improved. Garden of Thorns is instead treated as Zyra's fourth learned ability and must be ranked before it becomes available, and has 5 ranks."
