Will quote this "If you want to be a mage with powerful nukes and poke, there are dozens out there that can do just that," Agree with everything else but not on your views on Zyra being a viable support. Just like you mentioned there are other mages out there who can do nukes and pokes, there are also real supports who can truly disengage, like Janna, Lulu or Sona.

Zyra was never meant to be a support, she was forced in to support as the meta shifted. The update returned her to a rightful state of viability at mid, and made her support role much more situational, and I think that's the point of being a Mage first and Support second. Just like how mages like Lux excel at mid foremost and can be situationally picked for Support. Keep your Zyra support fantasies aside, it was mentioned on the thread that the update team no longer wanted to focus on balancing her for support. The fact that they did that earned them more unwanted backlash.
