@Morello So how long before we get a zyra redesign? Don't get me wrong I LOVE everything about her kit and played her quite a lot on PBE, but let's be honest here. The seeds are required to do any viable amount of Damage and they're soooo easy to see once a player has seen her in a game they'll know exactly how to avoid her in advance seeds completely shutting her down. The only option then is to combo them and I highly doubt the average and even most "pro" players will be fast enough to double W, E or Q, the other ne, and then R before the enemy sees them and runs away.

So yeah since the majority of her dmg comes from a move that is rather obvious and easy to avoid if planted in advance of a combo or part of a combo less than 10% of the LoL population will be able to pull off on more than a once occasion. How long before the redesign?

Heimer wishes he could target his turrets with his auto-attacks and that his ultimate had that sort of impact. Heimer so outclassed. Snowmedinger melted into obsolescence.

Well, if would be good if there were no global cooldowns on her skill then it will be possible. You have no idea how fast some people can spam skills (such as leblanc's, kassadins). I can do all of leblancs skill in less than 2 seconds (as long as the ult doesn't glitch up and end up copying the wrong skill)

2:57 "Only the unfortunate entrance of Skarner prevented Zyra from winning the fight outright."

Um, yeah. Because having a bar and a half of health with Ignite ticking away is "winning."

4:11 "The combined damage takes him down almost immediately."

Well, he was at 35% health. That fight was won by the ward, not by Zyra's kit.
