thats what zyra does.
It's the plants. People think they super frail, which they are if you're focusing them down, but if ever you get a chance to spectate a Zyra watch as her plants frequently get 3+ autos each per life in a chaotic team fight. That's 420 + (0.6 AP) damage and you have 2+ of those suckers out there. Sometime they get more AAs off, some times less, but when I was counting a long time ago is was pretty ordinary for the plants to land 3 AAs before dying.
It's kind of like Nautilus' E. 200 base damage doesn't sound so hot until you observe what's actually happening. If Nautilus lands his AA snare Riptide will damage the opponent on all three waves, that's 400 damage on a 5sec CD. There's a few exceptions, really small models tend to only get hit twice.
That was one of the suggestions, but by a player not a Rioter. Just found a quote somewhere, it's just "power adjustments". There was a comment from Rickless about how they're looking to give MF, Zyra, and Sona a bit more definition as why you'd pick them. I assume that whatever they do to Zyra will further strengthen her counterengage power, I guess?
That sounds worrying, diving a zyra comp is already suicide, so i'd fear that she'd lose power elsewhere to strengthen a part of her kit thats already more than sufficient. The only buff i'd want is the 20% cdr on W back.

You don't like "anything goes" toplane? But thats the best place to break out the wildcard, Teemo.

Just got my internet back after 2 days. Spectated a game. Syndra is fucking disgusting against Yasuo. I've seen her blow up Yasuo after 1 combo. Yas can't even block her skills.

The reduction is only 10% though.

First game in a while. First time mid against Victor too. A bit rusty so I got scolded by my team mates when I didn't group with them. I thought I was a top laner and had tele lol.

My main issue with Zyra is that I need to learn my positioning, at times I just stand still, or try to move around but I end up getting caught in attacks :/

Just remember to always let your ADC frontline so you can secure the kills and get

What I usually do is Lvl. 2 spellthief+Sighstone, I should go straight to Liandry from there or just rush it overall?

I was joking lol.
There's two ways to go Zyra support, although lower down, full damage is probably "best".
Go typical AP carry runes/masteries then Spellthief, into Sightstone, into full AP build (Maybe boots of mobility - great for setting up E/R).
You'll typically want Haunting Guise first followed by Morellos/Athenes into Rabadons/Rylias. Liandrys should be your last core item. Eventually fuck Spellthief off.
By time they've realised you're the issue on the team it will be too late.

I'm mostly exaggerating because I hate the change - time to nerf armor, let's randomly add an anti crit passive on top of all the damage reductions you can already get.
I guess I still have some ADC in me if I still feel the need to whine about a role I haven't really played in over a month now, I guess playing top is infecting me with the Wrongnamesy.
10% damage out of crits on top of tabi is a lot though and that's alongside resistances because they stack multiplicatively with others reductions.

Oh I don't need Liandry early? Got it. Thanks for the info. Generally I'd sell off Lvl. 2 Spellthief once I got morello or Athene's for example.

The thing with Liandrys is that it's %HP damage. It isn't gold efficient unless people have plenty of HP and you can regularly proc the passive.
Haunting Guise is a good early damage pick up due to the MPen, HP and AP.
poor Vayne, she got shut down
but wait--- you were mid with Riven? wow
Leona rocks, grats btw

Dear lord I can only save ur asses for so long, You see fucking Rengar roam our jungle THEN WARD IT
IT IS ONLY 250 GOLD YOU FUCKING RETARDS. IT'S JUST 250 GOLD YOU GET INFINITE WARDS WARD THE JUNGLE IF YOU SEE A PATTERN.
This fucking bronze hell.
Right now I'm doing OK with my jungle seju, but I think Skarner might be better overall since I build offensive items on him first (Cinderhulk>IBG>Black Cleaver).

Still need to keep an eye on my location.
Also blind ass jinx thinks I don't ward, come on...
Hey everyone. Sorry to have to say this but I won't be playing much league or games in general for a while. Yesterday I unfortunately cut off the end of my left pointer finger at work. I'll be having surgery on Monday (my birthday..). So I'll be out of commission for a good amount of time. Maybe I can reteach myself eventually but it'll probably take a while. I'll still chill in the thread but no games for now

Don't you mostly use your middle / ring finger to play though? I'd imagine it wouldn't be so hard to get used to once your hand is good to go.

Damn! Sorry to hear that man. At least worlds is coming up so you can immerse yourself in that for the time being.

Looks OK I guess. Do you always buy a ward at start? Nothing wrong with it like, but I'd rather have the extra pot I think.
9 wards is pretty poor in 25mins, though.
FWIW I've fired up my NA account that even has

Hope you get better soon Edwardo, sucks to hear about your injury XO
Actually we literally snowballed them at mid and just kept on pushing. Since we were in their mid entrance most of the time I didn't have time to put up any wards since...well we were invading and I was mostly in team fights
I always get a Ward early on for safety reasons and to prevent ganks. Then again my adc rarely if ever notices the map =_=
Still I'm used to it so that's how I go about it.

haha ok, it just seemed like blowing things out of proportion, specially since armor overall got nerfed, so this probably offsets it a bit
If it makes you feel better your lp is literally meaningless. Your mmr is the only thing that really matters so basically your w/l
Lp is just there to make us feel like we're doing something

sorreee man.
It's really just a guess on my part. For MF they definitely said that they want to push her more into the "this is the ADC of choice for AoE comps" niche. Then they lumped in Zyra, MF, and Sona into the same "we're looking at these champions" note - they leap in logic is entirely mine.
Ditto. A few times this week I had it playing while cleaning up after the kids' toys when they were in the bath with mom.

well part of it is off and it requires surgery, so I think that's a fair assumption.
Edwardo, will they be able to reattach?
