Any thoughts on using Glacial Augment with Hextech GLP for zyra supp? I don't see glacial augment get used too much (and maybe for good reason), but I still wanted to see if it could be used well.

For a zyra supp build I pretty much always get eye of the watchers (I would use frost queen's for the synergy with glacial augment, but I prefer having ward vision, and also it seems like they are removing frost queen's based on the pbe notes), rylai's, liandry's, and boots (either ionian or sorcerers depending on if I have max cd or not), leaving 2 more item slots. For these 2 remaining items I usually like to fill it with any 2-combo of void staff, banshee's, or zhonya's depending on enemy team comp and builds, but I don't think it will be the end of the world if I replace one with glp.

The main benefits I can see would be that glp gives decent defensive stats (namely the health) while still giving good ap, it has the damage active (even though it has a decently long cd, its still good to keep as a sort of "back-up"), and the additional slows you get from glacial augment and glp could be very useful and make zyra even more of a cc monster than she already is with her e, ult, and plant slows from rylai's.

However, there are definitely a few problems I can see, such as the need for switching around some runes, the fact that I have to sacrifice one of three potentially great items to make room for glp, and the fact that zyra with rylai's already gives a good amount of slow on top of her innate cc with her e and ult, so the extra slows might be a bit redundant and wasted.

Keep in mind that while I enjoy hypothesizing potential builds, I also wish to make sure they are relatively viable and not completely insane.
