These guys have nailed it: excellent cc and wave control, vision utility, high AoE damage, etc.

One of my favourite aspects of Zyra support is her ability to scale. Since she is a mid-laner Zyra scales super well with gold and kills. This allows her to declare traige on her lane. Similar to the triage call made by the jungler, it's when your lane (partner) is so far gone that you give up on them and take over. I have literally carried games like this, by transitioning into a secondary APC. There was one match with this horrendous Ashe (died to a Draven 3 times under 5 mins due to brawling with him...) that I gave up on her and started taking farm, kills, and other stuff. I then proceeded to make several clutch plays which won teamfights, which I couldn't gave done without that extra gold (and I did tonsofdamage too).
