People are just new to playing against her...just take some time to look at her kit and realize you can avoid most of her skills.

Tips:

Don't stop moving (this should be done in every single lane against every champion) don't let yourself be an easy target for q harass, it is delayed similiar to karthus/cass q and quick reactions will let you dodge it.

The same goes for her e, there is a delay and a rather obvious animation (Zyra will go down planting her hands in the ground) dodging her e means that she can't land a free q nor is she gauranteed to land her ult's knockup. It also means you can get out of range of her plants.

Stepping on seeds. When I say this I don't mean walk into every single seed the moment it's planted, you'll take too much harass. Instead, if your somewhat near a seed and you see her wind up her auto attack animation, go ahead and step on it, she'll have to move her cursor to you and cast (with her delayed spells) to try and pop up the turret, and you should be expecting the cast and be prepared to dodge it.

Alternatively, while stepping on individual seeds destroys them, be wary of groups of seeds, 3+ turrets will hurt. Also watch zyra's movements, if she has 2 seeds up and she lines herself in a row with them, don't be on the end of that row, try and keep the line between you and her free of seeds so her e won't proc pre-placed seeds.

If she places her seeds down, and you quickly go around them and engage on her, she won't have them up for her combo and can't effeciently fight back.

She has low base health and her instant burst isn't actually very large in comparison to other mids (zyra has ~495 base burst at lvl 6, xerath/ahri/lb/annie/brand are 600+), 1 to 1 spell trades will go in most other mid's favor, however long trades which let her use her turrets will not.

Hope that helps.
