you are talking about matchups only in lane... The problem with Zyra is not quite as much her laning power (though it's still really strong)--the problem is her ridiculous team fight potential. Her root into ult along with a few plants down can absolutely destroy just about any team, and is almost impossible to avoid considering her range (you literally cannot miss her ult). Furthermore, all the champions you mentioned that should do well against her have to be in the middle of a fight to do maximum damage, while Zyra can just stay at the back of her team and still do her AoE. And while she IS not very mobile, her snare, ult and plants make just about any gank practically impossible without huge consequences. She is just too strong because she has exceptional damage, range, AND CC, which no other AP champion has
