[DODGE/BAN] Hard and punishing matchup. Punish his ADC when he roams and don't greed position.
Ashe
BOMBA lane if ashe is good. She helps with landing your E/R with her slows and has followup CC. Really disgusting to lane against.

About me
Hey hey, before anything else I'd like to point out that I'm eastern and English is far-far from being my native language, so please excuse any mistakes. I am Zyra player since season 9 and I've peaked rank #11 EU (#48 World) Zyra in the middle of season 12. I am a high plat player and I acknowledge the fact that any player who's higher elos (diamond+) will definitely teach you how to play Zyra better. But this guide isn't for high elo players, it's about what I run in my games and consistently get out of the lowtiers.
About Zyra
First off, Zyra is not a hard/complex champion! She's fairly easy to get into if you have basic human ability. Zyra is not about mechanics but more about how you impact the game. You see, unlike traditional supports, Zyra has the ability to zone the enemy really hard, especially after 6 with her ult-plants empower. This allows her to stomp bad early game champions on lane and assist her jungler in getting drakes and pressure.
Zyra's range is lower than most mages, and shes quite squishy, that's where your position comes into play. A good positioned Zyra is the difference between a one-sided victory and utter defeat. If you die a lot, it's 99% because of you moving/pathing incorrectly.
Mistakes can be new opportunities! I for one make a lot of mistakes when playing, but I always try to adapt and make something of it. Zyra as a champion is prone to mistakes happening due to her kit and overall stats. Don't let that discourage you from playing, as she can be useful even when behind due to her cc and slows.
Another great thing about Zyra is that you don't really need an ADC to perform. She's pretty self-reliant and can act as a secondary AP dps for the team. (remember that once she used to be a sololaner like brand and xerath)
As of tips on mechanics, your W can be casted at the end of your Q/E and will still turn into plants. This can be used to increase your range or cover up if you miss your root (E-plants slow a lot!). It is also how you proc your comet on champions that outrange you.
