Totally agree with the greater mark of hybrid penetration that Emi-chan mentioned.

Also, Zyra is now the most squishy champion when the game starts, I really think it is worth mentioning a 9/21 masteries for her.

For items, you mention damage and utility, but wheres the defense? Being squishy and with not a lot of mobility can be really troublesome for you Randuin's Omen and Banshee's Veil are totally worth to mention. And I wouldn't recommend getting Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff, because they are expensive and don't provide any defense for you, at least Zhonya's Hourglass, Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Liandry's Torment provide a bit of health/armor for you.

Your gameplay section is too short and you show no good information on supporting.


I prefer 4/5/21 masteries for 10%CDr, but if I have harder match-up ( Leona Draven) i get a tankier page, or even 9/13/8 to get more damage. Rabadon's Deathcap is very situational item, but Void Staff, i get it almost every game, it's not that expensive and the Magic Pen is great, but usually as a last item. I'll add more situational items, thanks for advice :D.

Quoted:

Definitely not a bad guide! Especially since this is your first :) A couple things I'd like to point out though:

greater mark of hybrid penetration I find is really nice on Zyra due to her powerful magic damage abilities, as well as long autoattack range. Having the extra damage on AAs makes your poke even stronger because you can't spam her abilities 24/7.

I personally would never get Rabadon's Deathcap on a support, second APC or not. It's ridiculously expensive and offers no utility for yourself or the rest of the team. Since you are the support, 3 item slots are already taken by Sightstone, your choice of boots, and most likely Frost Queen's Claim, which only gives 50 AP. That means (including Deathcap) you only have another 2 item slots in which you could potentially build AP. This is not nearly as gold efficient as with the actual APC, since they have 4 free item slots (again, including Deathcap and boots).

For your item section, don't use the code: [items=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/item-purchase-planner#&item=160-152-153-114-155]. Instead, take out the url and use [items=160-152-153-114-155]. That'll take away the 5 empty boxes in the beginning :)

example

For your matchups section, you could potentially use some colors to make it easier to read. Like, if it's a Great synergy, you could make it a bright green. If it's a bad synergy, you could make it a red.


Great
ashe synergy

Great
caitlyn synergy

Bad
corki synergy


Good
draven synergy

Good
ezreal synergy

Medium
Graves synergy


Finally, I think you could be a lot more in-depth. Most of your explanations are simple, one line statements. For example, you say that Mobility Boots is another potential choice. Why? Under what circumstances? When are they better than getting the regular Sorcerer's Shoes? It may seem obvious to you, a diamond player, but to someone new to the game, they'll have no idea. Expand by saying something like: "Boots of Mobility are useful because they allow you to roam and ward quickly. This will reduce the amount of time you are away from your ADC, as well as allow you to soak up more experience because you'll be in lane more often. In addition, you can roam to other lanes, applying more map pressure and help your teammates out by helping them snowball." Stuff like that really makes your guide shine :)

Edit: You should turn on comment to vote. It'll chase away any potential trolls who downvote your guide for no reason at all.


Thanks for the tips. I'll add at the item section more possible items and a more in-depth explanation. I prefer Greater Mark of Magic Penetration because in the laning phase the plants AA more often than me, and in the dragon fights i'll be focusing more on peeling for the ADC and throwing plants than AA-ing, but i'll add this option too :D. Rabadon's Deathcap is a situational item that can be ok if you won your lane hard and your ADC can protect himself ( Lucian) but i don't buy it very often either.
