The New Zyra

League of Legends 6.9

Wow!  It certainly feels like Zyra got a nerf. At least in the first two games I played with her in 6.9 it does.  I mean I suppose she got changed a bunch with the mage update but it seems more like a nerf than just a change. 

Her passive no longer gives me the opportunity to kill people after I die…so boring…I really enjoyed that passive. Now it just spawns a bunch of random seeds all over the place.  I suppose I need to get used to it.  It seems they never spawn where I want them to and the fact they don’t provide vision is a bit confusing since your seeds planted with W still show the surrounding area like a ward. 

I also feel like the rectangle AOE of Q is a nerf.  It used to be that I could hit all the minions with the circle but now I need to wait longer and for just the right positioning. I suppose I’ll get used to it, but it’s annoying now.  Also, the reduction of damage when I have more than one plant hitting an opponent really feels like a nerf. 

Well, I went 1-1 with her in my 2 games. I got many fewer kills but in my second game I pulled off 32 assists, so I suppose I did okay. I also continued to put out the most damage on my team. 

In all, I feel like it was a nerf so far, but the jury is still out.  We’ll see how things progress.
