Zyra up on the PBE, about to go play her as soon as I finish loading my updates. After a first glance at her stats, following thoughts: Her W functions kind of like Heimers Q, where you store seeds (max 2) every 17 sec. Biggest difference is that a seed only lasts 30 seconds once placed, so it leads me to think they want her to be much more of a burst or combo champion, instead of the slow poke and kite Heimer is. Her Q sounds a lot like Karthus' Q, planting a seed that explodes after a delay. The big difference is that if cast on a seed, it grows it into a plant with a decent range that fires projectiles. Its scaling is fairly average, but it has a decent range. E seems like her best ability; range of an Ahri orb or charm, roots opponents and deals damage. If it hits a seed, it does the same thing Q does, only at a bit shorter range. Look like they want you to combo E into Q, so you root your opponents, grow seeds, then damage opponents and grow the seed into a longer range. R is an AOE knockup that does damage, as well as growing seeds into plants with a decent range and 50% increased AS. Seems beast in a teamfight, and in combination with something like an Amumu ult could feasibly wipe an entire team. I'm worried about the amount of damage it actually does with its scaling, but we'll see. Her passive is reminiscent of Kogmaw. When she dies she grows into a plant, firing off one last projectile. The big deal here is that the projectile is guided by what you're mousing over, and it does TRUE DAMAGE to every champion it passes through. That seems huge to me. If you're being chased, you can turn and burst your opponents down, then snipe them off with your passive. I'll post again after I get a few games in with her, but I think she needs to be built more like a LeBlanc or Ahri, instead of Karthus or Morgana, so Rabadons, Rylais, Hextech, instead of Rod of Ages, Zhonyas, etc. EDIT: I need to get Cass so I can buy that skin. It looks SICK. [Edited on 07.13.2012 6:35 AM PDT]
