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. | ||

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 "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). | ||

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 | ||

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) On July 30 2012 06:42 Amui wrote: 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.

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 | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||
