"The thing is, by removing that CDR but lowering the cooldowns they could get the same effect as with that free CDR, but the champion could also get full CDR -> lower cooldowns if they build lots of CDR. In that way, free CDR is a restriction to spammy mages."

All well and good had they lowered Zyra's cooldowns while taking the CDR off W, but they didn't. That was just a straight nerf to her.

I'm assuming they just didn't like that support Zyra could be at max with 9/0/21 masteries and Shurelya's Reverie. Or 39.99% with 9/0/21, maxed W and 9 scaling CDR glyphs at level 18. I don't think anyone was running the latter though, even if being .01% off max CDR with no CDR items is kind of funny. Heh.
