I think it's definitely possible but it definitely requires a unique kind of aggressive playstyle and champion choices. The 3 current top supports (Annie, Leona, Thresh) are all good at carrying because of their strong initiations and damage and basically have a very tight grip on the flow of the game compared to more reactive supports like Janna or Lulu.

I think Zyra is a little weak at the moment but that's more because of the top 3 supports, Leona, the biggest issue, doesn't care about her root as long as she can land her E and will wreck Zyra with her high CC and damage, Thresh has a little harder time but, again, once Thresh is on Zyra it's near impossible for her to get away alive and Annie who has more reliable damage and CC. Things like supports building tankier with doran's shield and defensive masteries also hurts her a bit.

The new spellthiefs line and doran's shield nerfs should actually help her a bit this patch but I'm not sure if it'll be enough.
