Yah I had one crush me when I was home. I think I was playing Kat. Also had an AP trist force a 20 min surrender. I was playing Kass. Dude had about 11 kills in 10 minutes.
Also. Brood War is so much fucking fun.

That epicest game tolkien was pretty epic indeed anyway, every base skin is better than a bought skin, because buying skins exposes your vanity. That's why I never buy skins nor have I do I ever use the ones I've aquired for free (so as to not be mistaken with someone who buys skins)

I feel the sam exact way. Except I don't buy skins cause why waste the money? If I spends money I will buy champs or runes - never skins.

Q max is best in Mid IMO. Best damage, low cooldown. EDIT: Whoops, realised you were talking Support Zyra. I max all skills simultaneously because I'm noob like that. Same with Nami. Can't pick what to go for.
I'd say she isn't used in mid much because she is super squishy. Assassins just wreck her like no tomorrow. But by god the utility... I do love me some Zyra mid.
Also her AA animation has got to be S tier.

I love Cloud 9 so much. Everytime I pick Ashe someone volunteers to support Zyra.

I don't really like buying skins but I can see why you'd want to support a game you've played for hundreds or thousands of games.

So now i have every rune, 20 rune pages and every champion in the game. Proud much?

Honestly that seems a bit ironic. The fact that you care so much what other strangers think of you that you purposely do something for the sole purpose of them not judging your own vanity.
People have all sorts of reasons for buying or not buying skins and I don't think you should ever assume the reasoning behind it. Coming up with some excuse that leaves you on some "higher ground" is pretty pathetic.

I spend money on the game because I like to support Riot, I just don't want to spend that money on skins that don't have an effect on the game. I totally get why people would buy skins though.

Some skins definitely have an effect on the game.Steel legion lux/iblitz are some good examples of this.Their skill animations are a lot harder to dodge.There is a reason they are banned in lcs....

True, but in theory skins shouldn't have any effect on the game other than aesthetics.

I wanted to buy skins with the 50 euros I decided that the game had finally deserved but ended up being able to only afford one after buying mass rune pages and some on-sale champions :/
Oh yeah and steel legion lux is pay-to-win so if you play Lux you should get it. I swear the snare is a homing missile

Zyra's 0.2 on-hit AP ratio almost makes you forget how broken the base damage is. 64 damage plant with 0.8 AS and 50% more damage if another plant hits you, at level 5. x_x And that's while maxing another spell so with a single auto from each plant she outdamages your burst.
But only Soniv plays her here and when he's not absent he prefers to stream Kha'Zix. :>

Broken Watch has the beastiest Zyra you've ever seen I swear to god if he stopped playing AD and just massed Zyra he'd be dia1 in the 50's within 2 weeks.

What are peoples thoughts on AP trist? I just played it mid because of a fucked up champ select, continued to feed the ememy lux 3 kills between myself and my jungler before 10 mins but who cares when you can chunk 80% lux hp with 3 skills even when you are behind?
I ended up running round W E Ring over walls from their jungle and just 1 shotting people. Is ap trist actually a thing? What should I look for in champ select to stop me playing it?
I'm at around a 70% win rate on trist (mostly ad though) over a 40 game heater through gold.

I used to play AP Trist and it is quite good if the enemy doesn't expect it.
R > E > W > Q (don't put any points in it until you have to)
DFG, Lich, Dcap, Nashor's are definitely core. You are an early game and mid game god, but late game and 5v5s are tough because after you blow your combo you kinda don't do anything (and only squishies die to your combo late game). Small skirmishes are your friends. Spam E to harass and push mid and take the tower as soon as you can. Kill your laner as soon as you hit 6. Your goal is to farm the opposing mid laner and make him useless. Then you really want to snowball your other lanes and let them get the kills because they will be most likely be more useful later. In 5v5s if you can position it right you could probably unleash your combo, zhona, and then W out assuming your teammates killed someone. You can also play safe from the backline and use your range to apply nashors from afar and save R for that annoying gap closing champion jumping on your carry. Or you could do what an AP trist did to me and get so many kills you force a 20 minute FF.
CDR and AP are definitely your biggest priorities cause your E and W cooldowns are rather large and your ratios and base damage are crazy good. Ward their jungle heavily because if you see their squishy farming wraiths you can W DFG E AA R and then W out before they even realize they are dead. You can actually unleash your full combo while in the air of W if you are quick enough. I would rush DFG as your first item.
Actually, what do people think about rushing a DFG and exploiting your stupid AP ratios in the early and mid game, and then transition to a traditional AD build?
Edit: I would look to play it against melee champions or champions that don't have a great way to waveclear early or last hit under tower easily. You really want to be taking the mid tower ASAP and grab control. Always spam E and save W for a sure kill or when the jungler comes.

I feel like Zyra mid is one of the REALLY matchup dependent champs. She just absolutely crushes come champs but then others she feels totally helpless against, idk. Her burst is unreal, I know xPeke used to play her quite a bit. I think he stacked 3 or 4 RoAs on her once in a tournament.

Hell yes AP Trist is a thing. She's really similar too Leblanc. I actually think she's got a stronger lane phase and maybe midgame but a much riskier teamfight. Because LB can dash back without resets, has her passive and her W cooldown is ridiculously low lategame (6s). I'd be interested to see a comp built around her.
