They should just decrease the plant's base damage and increase the AP ratio again. On this way her plants wouldn't be as opressive early on and require AP to be noticable, so the Support role wouldn't be that appealing anymore. Also they should increase the late game tankyness of her plants, because they are dying way too quickly in teamfights because of all these AoE effects and that removes most of her damage and keeps her away from being a midlane champ, she isn't consitant enough.

Since she got updated her plants are a friggin important part of her kit and are somehing like half of her damage a majority of her zoning power. On botlane this works just fine, because most ADC's don't have enough AoE damage to delete these plants and have to concentrate on farming anyway and most supports are either buff/heal supports, engaging tanks or other damage supports who want to delete the ADC instead of the plants. But in midlane it doesn't work out, because most midlaners have enough AoE, enough range or enough durability to deal with Zyra's zoning tools and the simply outscale her because of Zyra's plants being so fragile. Put a Brand, a Shyvana, a Miss Fortune, a Morgana or any tank with Sunfire Cape in the enemy team and Zyra will lose half of her damage, the plants will just die incedentially and without anough time to deal damage.

With an decreased base damage on her plants and an increased Ap scaling, her early zoning potential would be gated nerfed and that would weaken Zyra support, but with an additional increase of the late game tankyness of the plants (with buffing the W passive for example) she would have a better late game scaling and would be better in midlane once again.
