Perhaps they could increases her mana costs while increasing her damage? To elaborate, I love playing Zyra, but I always found it weird that they gave her such low costs, especially the free to cast W. If her mana costs are increased while increasing damage, this should keep support Zyra in check by keeping her damage virtually the same before she runs oom, whilst punishing her a bit more should she miss her abilities. Meanwhile though this should give a potential buff to midlane Zyra as higher damage = better waveclear and kill potential, and the mana costs shouldn't be as troublesome due to Doran's ring and Lost chapter providing good midlane mana sustain. This isn't what I intend the change to be exactly, but to give an example:

Q: Deadly spines: Mana cost increased to 75/80/85/90/95 from 70 Base damage increased to 70/110/150/190/230 AP Ratio increased to 65% from 60%

W: Rampant growth: Mana cost increased to 30 from 0 Cooldown reduced to 16/15/14/13/12 seconds from 20/18/16/14/12 seconds

Now that I think about, these numbers look kinda similar to pre mage update Zyra, but perhaps a minor unrework is simply the way to go.
