Scarra rly showing the power of zyra, I've played about 10 games with her and I think she's a viable ap mid, sick dmg but I wouldnt say that shes OP like all the twitch fanboys claim lol. She only unleashes her full dmg(+sustain dmg) when she hits her root and although it has fairly long range a competent player shouldnt be hit by it constantly.

anyone who isn't sitting around with a ton of IP in their account is obviously Doing It Wrong

I mean, think about it:
  • Assume you've been playing for long enough that you have all the runes/runepages/non-champ items you need, as well as a set of champs that allow you to play any role required of you effectively, so there's no *need* to spend IP as soon as you get it.
  • Riot regularly reduces the IP cost for champions-- at more or less a rate of one reduction every two months over the last year, with an average overall reduction of ~4k IP.
  • The current total cost of all the champions in the game is something like 410k IP-- so that means that your IP's purchasing power goes up by like 1% every two months!
  • As a matter of fact, the less champions you own, the more likely it is that those price reductions actually affect you.

Therefore, the best IP Investment Strategy is to finish runes first, buy as few champions as you possibly can (ideally only sticking to the ones whose prices have already been reduced), and just save the rest while getting sick theoretical effective returns of ~0.12% per week on all that hoarded IP.

Zyra is 100% OP just because she does as much damage as other top AP mids while providing infinitely more CC.

I haven't played her, but do people find Zyra more difficult to play than other mids? She's all skillshots, and you have to have good zone awareness for her plants to be 100% effective, but she seems to have a really good win rate from what I've seen. I don't know if that's because she's good/easy or if she's just hard to play against.

Her CC isn't that amazing. It's her damage + range that's too high. She bursts for about 25-30% more than she should in early fights.

Who the hell are these commentators for the TSM invitational?
I have never heard so much falls assumptions and random rambling in my life,

start your own tournament stream and do better.

or stop complaining about free entertainment that nobody is forcing you to watch.

Just because it's free I'm not allowed to criticize their commentary lol?
I kill the stream every time there isn't a game going on because of these 2,I would imagine a tournament would want their viewers to stick around the whole time to get higher add revenue.
Good thing no one said anything to NASL about their sound guy because it was free to watch.Oh,wait.



This is not the place to criticize casters for a tournament. It contributes nothing to the GD thread and will have no bearing on their future casting for TSM.

TSM on the other hand has a website of their own to provide feedback.

Her "skillshots" are aren't hard to hit at all.I'd actually say it's too easy for such a long range champ.
Her cast time/animations are fast as hell and she can unload faster than anyone I can think off.

I think she actually bursts harder than a lot of them because I've seen non-fed Zyra's 100-0 junglers who get caught.


875+1.8AP+(134+.2AP)*#hits is her whole combo. Base damage not including plants is around baseline for AP's, but including plants goes up pretty drastically. Most people I've seen using kill combos use 2 plants, and if they get off 2 hits each, I think it's more damage than a morg combo(could be wrong).

everything about her is ridiculous except she has no escape
no problem, get ganked, garen-tee you get a kill with your passive even if you die
you can make everything 1 for 1 with her
early-game plants are just a nice bonus to her ridiculous range and cc and damage
lategame plants are stronger than champs, you can shred enemy tanks to half before a fight even starts if you set up some zone control around baron/objectives


she's one of the strongest champs to be released in quite some time

Wtf is with all the Hecarim hate whenever I'm on vacation and too busy having fun to post a detailed response?

Hecarim is good. He's not banworthy. If you prefer Skarner/Mundo/Udyr et al. awesome. It's not like Riot awards bonus IP/RP for whoever wins the "best jungler not permbanned" competition.

I've been playing for almost 2 years and the closest ive got to having every champion was like 6 or 7.
they started coming out too fast and became way too expensive to get them all.(esp once they reduced the amount of ip you get a game forever ago)

its almost like 99% of other mids arent skillshot champions either

I do got all the good runes though.

just because you call them twitch fanboys doesn't mean your opinion is true and better than theirs


IMO zyra is clearly OP, so much damage accompanied by the CC and zone control. You should have one or the other not both

Also a lot of competent players get hit by other competent player's abilities regardless of champion. I don't understand your post
hihihi

i call them fanboys because they only write OMG ZYRA OP because scarra is beating TSM with it and if you come with that argument, in which way would your argument of zyra being op be any more viable than mine?

edit: IMO ( lol) this is just Darius all over again, remember how many people already screamed OPOPOP after seeing the champ spotlight or reading what his ult does? How often do you see Darius these days and he hasnt even been nerfed yet. ( I consider the change on the ult a fix)

I can say with 100% certainty that Zyra is OP. Maybe not by a ton, but enough to be noticeable.

Her scaling is too high.

Zyra has been called OP since release. Why do you think Scarra picked her 3 times in a row?

Off-topic question, if the frame for your glasses broke, where you go to get them repaired?

Back on topic, I can sort of see Zyra as one of those reward for high skill champs, but the reward was put too high, and it's a little too easy to get. Her full combo damage is something you would not expect when you first play against her. Her snare is not incredibly hard to hit, and when you do get hit, it's over. I think her cc is fine really, but her damage should be toned down a bit.
