Did a similar build to this first time I ever played her and she was killer!

I'm happy you've tried it before leaving feedback! And I'm glad you like it!

bad abillity sequence

I have really liked and tested this zyra mid guide

Thanks for the feedback! :D

I agree with most of the items included, except for the home guard. Otherwise, nicely done!

Deep breath.
I play Zyra pretty effectively, but my play style is much different than most with Zyra. That is why my guide is tweaked and just because something works for me, I understand it won't work for everyone. Why would I make another cookie-cutter Zyra guide, there are dozens already. That's how I looked at it when going into making the guide. I also haven't fully completed it yet, but since I had the core, I wanted to publish it.



You shouldn't be running under your opponent's tower within the first 5 minutes, you hit three faster than you think. I have ran my AP Tank runeset on her before, but I have always preferred the extra early dmg and sustain. I haven't finished the guide, and can definitely add a tankier runeset option ^_^

Personally, I don't ever have much issue escaping from ganks, especially if you keep seeds in at least one brush on the side of river at level 2 :D But I understand what you're saying.



I appreciate the constructive criticism, really. This was my very first guide, made on any site, other than helping friends along here and there. And I wanted to begin with a champ I enjoy, and a build that I use that's a little different than mainstream.

If we invade early, I do take grasping roots, otherwise in lane I got Q->W->E.

I also get the chalice because of my aggressive play style. I don't always wait for a seed to be up to cast a spell. Most people expect you to do that, and so I try to bully my lane whenever my CD is up, even if I can't sprout a turret.

There are of course specific different scenarios for every game, not a single one is like another, but I haven't wrote many scenario cases out yet as I've been busy this week. I may update it this weekend.
Thanks again!



You can read my above reply on the rune sets ^_^
Also about this being just the core of my guide. I know I can add way more detail.
I kinda figure people should know about flash and ignite if they care to read the actual details of the guide.
What do you mean exactly about tips on using all of her skills? I have some info, more in-depth in the teamfight section, but I could add more elsewhere. Just a little confused on what exactly you mean.
Like the whole "Plant a seed in-lane to deter your opponent and make them paranoid that you'll sprout a turret at any moment" ? I could do that kind of thing.

This isn't a bursty build. This is a HP-intensive build. As I've stated many times in my above replies, there are a million cookie-cutter builds for Zyra. Why bother remaking one of those? :P

Thanks for your input!



Hardly ever in my experience, having map awareness for jungle isn't hard and knowing when to go in or not is something that comes with time. Zoning Zyra? With your plants it's kind of hard to box her out of any laning.
I appreciate you taking the time to post though.

You know what happens when you run no defensive runes on Zyra? You get zoned. And you get owned if the enemy jungler has a gap closer.

Consider Greater Glyph of Magic Resist as opposed to AP glyphs.

Go more in-depth about everything. Flash is "Overpowered" and "Versatile". Explain why. Also, you can give tips on how to use all of your skills etc.

And getting RoA first? No thanks. It offers you next to no burst which you need as Zyra.

Wrong runes, Rod of Ages and the guide is not in-depth at all. Contains very little info.

There are a few flaws with your guide and I hope you will at least consider a few suggestions from my side.

• It is safer to start with Grasping Roots instead of deadly bloom. It's your only way of protection pre level 6 and it's quite a risky gamble to wait until level 3 for this skill. Chances are that your team is invading or being invaded or that you will be ganked even before you hit level 3. It still deals damage but at least has some utility, too.
• You are building too many Mana items. Zyra is not very mana hungry for a mage mainly because her seeds don't use any mana. Also, even with a lot of mana you won't be able to cast your spells more often because seeds won't store any faster and you'll end up wasting all the mana regen and CDR. I'd rather advise you to go for damage items right away and especially Zhonya's Hourglass is a very good buy.

There are some more things I do not exactly agree with but I'll leave it at this for now. See whether you're actually open minded enough to criticism. Otherwise I'd just be wasting my time. :P
