After playing Zyra for patch 5.13, I totally agree with Friendly with Rylai being an item on Zyra. The NLR changes have also made Zyra's game phase from early to late much stronger now, but she still suffers from very similar weaknesses; very poor QoL given to her and most importantly her E traveling speed.

Reflecting back on my post from April, I still find Zyra to be more of a mini artillery than a zoner simply because her plants don't survive long enough or perform efficiently to create the opportunity for her to zone. I secretly wished her E traveling speed would be buffed or that she gets QoL changes somewhere along the lines of sprouting her plants much more easily.

She's probably still best played as a support but its undeniable that with the AP changes, Mid Zyra, is less frowned upon and generally accepted by the community. And prioritizing Rylai makes surviving ganks a possibility.
