Jungle has a huge farm disadvanatage, to argue that shows your lack of experience in the jungle.

Sure, if you do NOTHING but farm creep camps without going back and with never ganking, you may be able to keep up with a slow farm laner.

But that's not your job as a jungler, you're suppose to gank, which Zyra does poorly. She has a root, but an easily dodged one. Her damage is subpar in an unprepared area.

There's no reason to choose Zyra over any other jungler,
