I think the reason mid lane Zyra died was for two reasons. Her lack of mobility (even compared to other slow mids) and her unreliable cc which she needs to land.

The E nerf has made it a lot less reliable to hit on you're opponent and is her only form of cc to protect her self. As a support it is easier to land because you can afford to get closer safely and her enemies on bot lane typically have low base move speed than mid laners.

Trying to combo and harrass the enemy does push the wave as well.

Compare her to Brand another mid laner who isn't "meta" his cc also isn't reliable but he would still be better of than Zyra thanks to his higher base move speed and higher base health.

Zyra is squishy, slow and her cc isn't reliable enough in mid lane.

However Zyra has very strong damage, has 2 forms of aoe hard cc. I still enjoy playing her mid but I would never enjoy picking her against an assassin. I think she does well against mids who she out ranges who aren't mobile or assassins,
