Talk:Zyra/@comment-26130990-20150309025401

I do like to play Zyra from time to time. And for some reason, she's apparently one of my best champs.

I do think she's underrated, especially mid. In mid lane, I think the biggest mistake people make is  poking with Q with no seeds or 2. Two seeds makes one plant do less damage, and none is wasting Zyra's potential. Once you've got the components of a Morello's or an Athene's, there's no reason you should not pop 1 plant beneath your lane opponent. That, or they always try to combo too often and it makes their snares predictable. Oh, and Zyra's seeds can be used as pseudo wards, and autoing a target, enemy or champ, will get your plants to focus them.

But anyways, there's a lot of benefits Zyra can bring to a team. She's an excellent pusher, she's got some decent utility and crowd control, she's indispensable for taking down larger objectives, and she can clear buffs without much health loss because of her plants; a lot of mages aside from Cassi or Ziggs or maybe a few others don't have that luxury. Not to mention, regardless of being mid or support, her AOE burst damage is asinine; despite not appearing to have very good bases and ratios, Zyra still somehow does a huge amount of burst and DPS in teamfights. Seriously, though. If you're not winning early on as Zyra, '''there is no rush. '''She's better later on than early, and while she's not a hypercarry, she outscales most other mages.
