Honestly I'm not sure how I should feel about these Zyra changes. I don't like them much though, because of the following:

1. Q+seed on enemy champion is severely nerfed due to base damage, scaling, and plant duration significantly reduced. This was basically bread and butter versus most mid lane matchups, and is also how you'd want to harass any ranged enemy in bot lane.

2. Plants were already squishy towards DoT or when minions are around and have their own flaws, but they decided to reduce their health for the majority of a game anyway.

3. They made landing Q more difficult in a few situations due to how it's been pruned back in one direction in order to increase it in the other--for example, max range Q is slightly shorter, no more just barely clipping people who think they are just out of range (which for me happened more often than I'd have expected it too). Kind of unwieldy in melee range because of the way it twists about.

4. Ulted plants will sometimes do more dps than before, but usually NOT.

5. Really, the most important thing: Zyra is probably worse in higher level play, even if the random seed spawns make her better in lower level play. Flash+combo does less damage even if you get ahead, players will have an easier time killing your plants (and they likely will try to kill them if you put them in a good enough spot to be meaningful).
