I really dislike the Q changes tho. Since Riot tried to shift some power from her "ordinary mage Q" into her passive and her plants I see they needed to tune it down a bit in terms of damage but I think they went too far. I know, there will be alot more plants now she can create and this leads to more DPS, but the problems the plants allways had remain: they just die to AoE damage without anyone to focus them. It doesn't really matter, or at least not a lot, if there are 2 more plants in teamfight because they still die like flies to the enemies AoE spells, leaving Zyra with less damage on her once primary dmage source. They made her way too dependant on her plants to my mind. Sure it fits her theme but her plants are just to fragile to make them such an important tool. They reduced the AP scaling about 10%, the base damage about 30 and changed the cooldown to 7 seconds on all ranks from scaling downwards with only the reduced mana cost as compensation. This is a straight up nerf to her and I really dislike that.
