'Useless' passive tends to fall under two different categories:

1) They have weak numerical values (i.e Fiora's passive in the late game) 2) They don't fit a certain style that a player prefer on a champion (i.e Ashe's passive or Taric in your example)

The first is just it is weak, therefore people consider it useless, even though it adds to the kit and make them stronger. Buff numbers and people won't complain. Like your Zyra issue, I bet if the numbers were slightly higher in damage, you wouldn't even complain since the passive just adds to the kit and gives her an extra dimension.

The second issue requires a complete rework to be satisfying while being balanced. Those are the one people constantly complain and most people who tends to do a counter-argument never tend to understand the actual reason people complain about the ability.

Which one do you hate more Zambu?
