The guy who says her farming sucks has no idea what he is talking about.

Of course she's gets hurt by gap-closing assassins, almost all mages do. However, you can efficiently farm at long range (think Lux) so you actually have a very safe lane. Zyra is one of the few mages who can competently farm wraiths without even leaving lane, so that helps as well.

In response to the flash comment: Zyra is a counter-iniator. You are not really supposed to full combo them in lane unless they are being stupid. You destroy them in 2.5 seconds when they do the jumping. You have serious range, a snare, knockup, and a reapplying slow to punish those who overcommit.

You don't see her often, but if it's not free week I'd play carefully around any mid Zyra.
