How is Zyra a mixture between Kog'maw and Xerath? The core of her kit is her plants harassing you while also applying some level of crowd control (the damage and of which is made more palpable when you have plants on the field already). She's a zoning champ like Heimerdinger and Orianna.

And because she creates a safe area around her she gets her movement speed gutted. Same with Anivia. Her wall and ult come with a huge cost because if she had decent movement speed on top of that she would very difficult to catch.

My build that has Movement speed quints has quite a bit of AP and AP pen. Personally you can't do damage if you aren't alive so I would spare no expense and worry about the slight lack of damage if it meant I don't get instantly punished for being too slow to escape the focus of an opponent.

If you can't find your way around your weaknesses you should probably just choose another champion to play as.
