Release Zyra was insane. I didn't live through release Graves or Vayne, but I have some nightmares from release Zyra.

I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

The thing about release Zyra, is even though she was too good, balancing her was fairly simple: Damage nerf, slower spells, done.

Zac is going to take forever to balance as long as they keep in this weird blob stomping mechanic. First of all, he would be a decent laner without any sustain, just based on no mana + easy gapcloser/escape + good base damages + slow. That means that since the blob dropping is random, its really hard for it to be balanced game-to-game.

Same with Zed, because if you hurt his numbers, he will lose. Thresh is different because no matter the numbers he will be confoundedly powerful. Honestly, Dark Passage + a diver is better in some ways than blitz hook.

They nerfed a mid laner so hard she's almost exclusively used as a support now. I don't know if I'd consider that a success or a good nerf. I mean she's a sick support, but her solo laning is almost non-existent now.

Sometimes I think they should just remove the bonus damage on E entirely. Would still be really good.

It's nothing that boosting her ratios and lowering her free damage (like her plants) can't fix.

I think that the important part of the change in Riot's approach isn't that they stopped 'olafing' champions and opted for more moderate changes, but that there's continued attention to those changes. It's not a one off and hope it works, or in Olaf's case removes the issue completely. You could, if you so desired, flirt with the overnerf and then rebuff as required and end up in essentially the same place provided the willingness to revisit changes remains.

Personally I think Zac's sustain while annoying wasn't the critically broken part of the champion, though it may have further fueled the problem. Rather, the mobility range and silly high base damages seem out of place. This (very slight) nerf may make Zac weak enough in lane that those issues are masked, but I think it makes his kit lopsided in the uninteresting way (as opposed to the cool design way).

When people were toying around with Burning Brush Zyra I thought the general consensus was she was actually still pretty strong with more traditional AP items.

She does fine mid, but she's really fucking slow so her roaming isn't amazing, so you basically get a 1v1 farming statue, who transitions into a team fight monster, which is decent, just not what most people are playing at the moment.

The most disappointing part of Zac for me still is that he isn't amorphous like the preview hinted he might be, what a complete failure to take advantage of unlimited possibilities his character design is.

I think Zyra's biggest nerf was that Diana was released right after her.

She actually was one of the better picks (I say better because I wouldn't really describe any Diana match up as bad pre december) until they nerfed the missile speed on E, which was much later, well after she was support only.

To me, all this read is "She's Karthus without global pressure."

Eh, she has more CC than Karth. I might to try and play her Mid a bit, my curiosity has been piqued.

I almost actually wrote that exact thing when I was writing that lol. She does have more CC, but the reason people don't play her is pretty much what Gahlo said to a T, I would say her teamfight is a bit stronger though, more up front burst instead of post mordem.

she can however snowball a lane better than Karthus should her lane opponent happen to fuck up a couple times.

I think Soniv ran her mid a bunch? He switched to several champs after that but he stuck with her mid after most people viewed her as a support. Pester him, that's what he came back for!

I think the reason she's not played mid is because nobody on the professional level plays her consistently. She's definitely a serviceable mid. She's not top tier, but she's not weak either.

Mid is also one of the most robust roles in pubs, it probably has the most potentially playable champions.

All I know is that whenever I go up against a Zyra mid she always tends to kill me with plant damage + passive after she died, and I get extremely frustrated every time.

When giants were actually winning I think they ran her a few times mid. Worked out pretty well with all the teamfight presence.
