She isn't like Lux at all. They both have a snare that's it. Lux doesn't have the zoning potential nor does she have a huge AOE knockup and a constant supply of not one but two different types of pets. Zyra doesn't have shield.

On the topic of who does it better the only decent comparison to someone like Zyra would be either Heimerdinger who also gets a lot out of his Pets and Syndra who has to chain her spells together like Zyra.

Zyra's micromanaging is a lot more affordable with the setup of her seeds costing nothing and having built in CDR to use them more often as opposed to Syndra whose Q which is the core of her kit but not the strongest part of it while even without Zyra's plants her main abilities stand completely on their own and just become far more effective with the plants and seedlings.

Heimerdingers Turrets have a much stronger potential for zoning. But will be much harder to use your spells as often as Zyra will. She will get to use her plants twice as much as Heimerdinger's turrets and the current turrets are just as weak as the plants although only the apex turret has a time limit. Multiple choices in ults allow for strong versatility but it's hard to beat the only CC you can't remove and a buff to all plants in the area of effect of said ult. The damage potential actually starts to even out assuming hard numbers don't say otherwise to a drastic degree.

All three have very passive innates. A revenge passive upon death. An aura of health regen. And a buff to a spell that you have to max first to get any use out of it early. What place do you think Zyra is in anyhow? She's either a support or a mage and she's fine for either role her only weakness is that she's easy to rush and chase due to her low movement speed.
