Really the best thing you can do is lifesteal...that mitigates TM a lot. Also AP Yi would have been a valid choice

Zyra looks like a really cool&fun champ to play O_O

Soniv I bet you excited to own noobs with this in ranked son!


The way I see it, Zyra's Q has the same delay as Karthus's Q and Cassiopeia's Q, except the radius is 3 times as big... on a moderate cooldown, too. I don't see how that is not OP.

The AP ratio is only 0.6 and the cd is relatively long compared to Karthus and Cassio Q.

TBH, most of her kit looks kinda meh to me, except for that ult. Dat radius is freaking huge O_O


At lvl 9 it's 5 seconds CD. Zyra also has CDR from her W....

The radius is so big that you will always hit it (just have cursor on the enemy champion). I think the range of it (looking at clips) is around 700-800? So basically it's comparable to Lux's E, except Lux's E has twice the cooldown and does not go nearly as fast (they have the same AP ratio)... if we assume that Zyra's Q's interaction with her W is comparable to Lux's passive.

Lux's E is longer range and has a slow. Zyra's Q damage is comparable to Lux's E, sure, but they do completely different things. You can't compare Zyra's Q to Cassio and Karthus's Q's either. Zyra's Q costs 95 mana at max level according to PBE notes. Cassio's Q costs 75 mana before her passive kicks in and Karthus's Q costs 44 mana.

If anything, Zyra's probably a better comparison to Yorick.


I donno. I think Zyra is more comparable to Lux. Zyra's Q is like Lux's E, Zyra's E is like Lux's Q, W is utility, and R is AOE nuke. Their ratios are similar,too, I would say.

Not really... Lux's E is longer range, slows, and gives vision. Zyra's Q only does damage. Lux's R is massive damage lazer. Zyra's R is a decent aoe nuke with delayed knockup. The E&Q are kinda similar I guess in that they both snare, but Zyra's can snare everything it hits, whereas Lux's only snares 2 targets. Their Ws are nothing alike.

I'm really not seeing the comparison. This is kinda dumb anyways lol

Lux's Q is a double bind. Zyra's E is a pass-through bind. Damage and duration wise they are comparable.

Lux's E is a long-range AOE spell with utility (slow, vision) and delayed damage, Zyra's Q is a long(?)-range AOE spell with utility (with W) and delayed damage. They have the same AP ratio and very similar base.

Lux's W is a shield (utility); Zyra's W plants seeds (utility).

Their ultimates are pretty different, but they are both large AOE... except Zyra trades CD and range for more CC/utility.

You have to ban her at low elos or your entire team will afk, it's ok to not ban her at higher elos without getting flamed for a week.
My last pick just dodged because he had to support. I love this game. That makes 6 ranked dodges in a row, including 2 on my team for not wanting to support. Did riot really have to implement this change instead of the -elo lol.

So many people like to bandwagon on the "lol u ban Kass you noob" train, but TBH, there are pretty good reasons Kassadin are banned.

Yes he has a crapton of hard counters, ranging from braindead champ select counters to good laning/itemization, but honestly, he's a very very annoying hero to deal with in an unorganized, solo queue environment. Snowball + mobility = attractive reasons to ban him.

Besides, if you want to FP someone that just gets shit on by Kass, what's wrong with banning him...?

Honestly you should just ban whatever is the most annoying at your elo. At mine? I ban morg and mumu a lot because at those elos those ults have so much of an impact because people don't know how to deal. Kass is also a solid ban because of the lack of awareness and even bad kass players know they can just roam and pick up easy kills. I have been banning malph more now a days because he has become popular and again people can't deal. Plus like what was said earlier at lower elos people assume if the other team gets certain champs (IE morg, shen) then they will flame/dodge or flame/feed/troll simply because they believe the game is auto lost when a certain champion is selected. Banning someone like Ali is solid but at lower elos people don't play him right or can't land his combo so he becomes way less scary and doesn't warrant a ban.

Why would you FP something that gets shit on by something anyways? Unless you're FP'ing morgana or malphite, you should wait with mid/top picks anyways.

Except at low Elo players usually pick top/mid for the first two and then jungle, ad carry and support in that order. Sad but true ~75% of the time. Hard to organise swaps too when 3/5 don't say anything.

No wonder they're low elo players if they're that retarded. No offence to anyone here on TL ^^


Counter-picking yourself like that, is like calling the police to tell them you're gonna rob a bank. It's stupid as fuck, and you should seriously re-consider what you're doing.
