Morgana may do fine in lane against Zyra, but that means Zyra basically gets to farm as much as she wants too, and she scales a lot harder into late game than Morgana. When Morgana uses her ulti in teamfights, she either takes a ton of damage from the enemy team to try to stop her ult from proccing, or uses Zhonya's to avoid damage. If she chooses the latter, Zyra can just shoot out her snare and ult at Morgana's team, ensuring no follow-up on Morgana's ult and setting her team up for a huge advantage in the fight. Also, high mobility champions may counter Zyra to a degree in lane, but the issue is her power in team fights. You would need just about every champion on your team to be high mobility, in which case you would get destroyed by just about every bruiser. Plus, if Zyra knows you just burst her down, she can still farm from a range with her Q and plants, and she can farm easily at tower too. Overall, no other non-high mobility champion has as much damage and CC as Zyra. The closest comparisons would probably be Xerath and Ziggs, both of whom match or slightly exceed Zyra in damage and range. However, neither bring nearly as much CC to teamfights, as Xerath only has a 1.5s single target stun (and that's provided he can proc mage chains), and Ziggs only has a small-radius short knock back. In comparison, Zyra has a fast AoE skillshot snare (1.75s), and a high damage, huge AoE ult that knocks up after a 2s delay (the 2s delay is easily remedied by snaring the enemies).
