Zyra will have troubles against high mobility assassins, like Zed, Yasuo, Leblanc, Fizz and others. These kind of mid laners are strong and popular right now, this is the main reason Zyra is not played mid. However, a quick glance at her skill set is enough to realize that she can do really well as a support: she has a long range on her auto attacks, really good poke damage, quite a long range root and an amazing aoe knockup ulti.

The issue is not with mages that are played as supports because this is just a consequence: the problem in this case is, in my opinion, the strenght of a lot of assassins that simply destroyed fragile, less mobile mages. Zyra in fact won't struggle much against Orianna, which is a really powerful champion, but will be simply instagibbed by a Fizz. In other words, we should always try and understand where the problem originated.
