I still dislike the health mechanic of her plants. The fact that a Cassio E or any other not AoE ability can insta kill her plants early on is a real pain and later on in teamfights the plants stop existing because of AoE effects and things like Sunfire anyway, unless you place them miles away from the fight, maybe to zone someone out, but you will sacrefice a huge part of your own damage for this.

To be honest, the only strong time she is having at the moment is the laningphase and that's limited to botlane, because most midlaner have tools to deal with her plants because of how fast they die. Cassio, Morgana, even a Vladimir can deal with her fairly easily. She still is somewhat good in teamfights because of her ult and her AoE spells, but still a big part of her damage will be missing at this point. It looks like Riot didn't really know what they want Zyra to be, either a good teamfighter with hich damage zones or a lane bully, so they tried to make her both to some degree and messed up. She now is only a botlane bully, because there mostly aren't that many AoE's at hand, and a somewhat decent teamfighter, but not as strong as before her update.
