Zyra getting major nerfs

In an effort to stunt abusive play patterns, Riot Games are nerfing Zyra in an upcoming hot fix by making her move more slowly and reducing the cumulative damage effects of her attacks.

Riot have just released the Champion Spotlight for their newest hero: Zyra the Plant Mage. She’s a ranged magic user who uses plants to attack her enemies.
As interesting as the changes are, it’s a little disappointing to see the next patch for League of Legends being called the ‘Mid-July’ patch rather than the Zyra patch, as it probably means that the mostly-naked plant lady with an interesting suite of skills is less likely to grace the client next week, when the patch hits. Regardless, there are some pretty major changes coming to some champions, which should make the game much more entertaining. Especially if you like stealth.
Halfway between Poison Ivy and an actual plant, League of Legend’s next champion, its 101st, is Zyra, Rise of the Thorns. It looks like she’s pillaged Ivy’s wardrobe, too, although she may well have been interrupted halfway between desperately grabbing bits of plantlife to tape to her body, because there’s really not all that much there. But she’s got some interesting sounding abilities.Our Spotlight units plug content our journalists have made, that our advertisers want to promote. Sometimes the promotion is paid for, but the content they go to is always independent with no client oversight or approval.
I don’t know about you, but there is certainly a dearth of female support champions with the likes of Janna, Orianna, Sona, Soraka, Lulu and Leona, and while there are some male supports, they’re all either beastly, robots or Taric. Which isn’t really putting the ‘sup’ in support. OrbitalDropKick, visionary that he is, has decided to fix this issue and bring the manly to the support role with Angus, the Puncher.
