love when i0ki plays my main! More Zyra please! A couple of points that you probably know but weren't included in the Zyra guide: - If you are in a bush, your passive will not spawn plants, so if you control the lane bush, you want to go out, put your passive on CD, then go in again. I think the passive plants also tends to spawn closer or into the bushes. - You can change the target of your plants by AAing or hitting enemy champions with abilities. This is useful when you miss the enemies with your abilities but you spawn plants and they start attacking minions, if you're in range sneak an AA and that will change the plants to attack and thus poke the enemy champions. Can also be useful when farming minions, or in team-fights for switching targets. - Once you get Rylas you pretty much want only Q plants. The slow from Rylas it's the same as the slow from your E plants, and they don't stack, but the Q plants are also ranged so they're just better at this point. - When you prepare an objective, don't only use your passive, spawn some w plants as well, put that skill on cool-down so you can spawn MORE plants. - Your ult explanation is good, but you forgot to mention that the ult not only empowers your plants (more AAs, more damage, more health, bigger size), but it also resets the life-span of the plants. This is particularly useful when you rush an objective, you can spawn all your plants, and right when they are about to expire, you cast your ult, and that will double their life-span, it's pretty broken actually, at some point I could 1v1 the baron with that strategy (just stay 30 seconds in the pit while spamming w and passive plants, summon all with a q, right before they expire use your ult, it's insane damage output) - speaking of that reminded me, the plant seed lives for 45 seconds if it's from passive, and for 60 seconds if it's from W. Both passive and W can spawn up to 8 seeds each, if for example you have insane AH and try to spawn more then 8 seeds, the first ones would disappear. So keep that in mind when preparing for an objective, or even if you want to give a huge leash to the jungle (although if they are not careful you might steal the buff unintentionally haha). Also, killing any enemy (minions, monsters, epic monsters, or enemy champions) your W gets refunded, so you can actually spawn more plants by taking the waves. This is what makes Zyra pretty decent as a jungler. As a niche, you can use this for kitting when your team is dead and you have to delay the enemies from getting to your tower, spawn plants, kill their wave, spawn plants again, if they don't have mobility champions alive, you can keep a lot of people busy this way. - Skill max order can be different depending on your game-plan and comp, Zyra is one of those champions where you can actually max anything first. So, Q max gives you more damage and more CD on Q, W max reduces the CD for plants, and E max increases the damage and the root duration, but not the CD. So, if I need to play safe in lane, I do E max first for the CC duration, if not I Q max for more poke/damage. Then, it depends again on your role in the team. If you already have a high CC team, and they don't have a champion that easily kills the plants (*cough**cough* Irelia) then you can max W 2nd, that actually gives more damage over time then E 2nd because of how insane the plants are, and it's more reliable, but if you also need burst damage, then max E 2nd. Same goes for range advantage in botlane, if they have short-range ADC and support, go for Q max, if not, go for E max, it has a longer range, and when you inevitably catch them, the longer duration will let you and your ADC get in rage to actually do damage. - Last but not least, once you get into the character role, you must feel offended when enemies steps on your plant buds, they kill your babies! You must make them PAY! PS: I also got baited by black fire, it has the classic Lost Chapter, which is nice to get early on Zyra as she only has mana issues early, it has flat burn compared to % HP burn of the Liandries, so theoretically it's better value early and against the squishy bot targets, but somehow it does almost 0 damage, so yeah, definitely liandries into rylas or zhonyas, you can throw on some oblivion orb if they have healing, they just nerfed the item into the ground because it's OP to have 2 good burn items, so I guess they made 1 useless. I miss epic Liandries/demonic embrace-before-nerfs-to-range/rylas/zhonyas-before-it-was-so-absurd-to-build-for-supports Zyra.
crazy zyra gameplay , great rotations and great hability acuracy, love ur content my brother in Jesus I0ki, greetins from santiago de chile, i love the matchup leona vs zyra
back when I played league, when I'd play velkoz mid (one of my best champs, because honestly he was super OP) I'd literally ult on cooldown. as soon as I was 6, Id just q (hope it lands) and r immediately after, just to assert dominance. Usually did most of their hp bar, if not killed them because most players would play up against vel. nothing in the game can block lasers, so it just made sense to shoot it right at their faces. Especially against yasuos, this was VERY satisfying.
There are a few little things you can do differently with Zyra. Like w range is longer than q so u can get vision in a bush sooner, q next to the bush and w in the bush. You can land q on them under tower but try to place the plants outside tower range if they're not pushed too far back. If you're going to base and u have seeds on the ground you should usually just activate them unless you're going to mess up a wave or something. In no way do I think I'm as good as you, I've just played a bunch of Zyra, well played.
34:40 Cait did not play well. She was carried during lane, got fed through getting advices and was never focused by Kindred. Zyra HARD carried this game.
nobody really played well this game other than Ioki (because he was hard smurfing). Even Sol wasn't that good and only became a menace because the dude was being force fed kills like it was an all you can eat buffet. this is what you can expect from bronze and unranked players in normal draft, which is the case for this match that you can easily look up.
love a good zyra gameplay, she's been my main since the beggining of this year and i love playing her, so useful and so much damage. also this game is the perfect exemple of the zyra support experience, basically carry the game, feed your asshole of a adc and they get all the credit and a pentakill 😒
Hey i0ki, love the video! i had never considered playing support until i started watching your content and saw how much of an impact you could have on the game. Question for you - if you were on the opposite team what does that game look like for you? i really struggle with champions like rakan and leona specifically against the cait/zyra matchup. just hoping to get a little insight from the GSA!
GGWP ! When 2 of the same plants attack the same target, the second one does 50% dmg, so try using only one to be able to spawn one with your other spell too. Also space it a lil bit from your skill shot so they might not be able to attack it depending on their range. Plants are soooo squishy compared to heimer's turrets for instance ...
thought the same but there really isnt another rune to take. you dont want cheap shot or sudden impact, the ward runes are not needed for zyra and EyeBall collection really wont help that much, Relentless Hunter is a good rune for her lack of mobility.
Doing great with zyra can make a harder mid game because it usually means your team isn't taking the kills they should be taking. It's good to be ahead but I lose a lot of zyra games I'm hard stomping because my team is tilted to death and gives up.
"Don't tell me how to play" lol when I played league if I had someone tell me how to play I'd have gotten higher than diamond. Please tell me how to play 😂.
I am starting to like this Caitlyn. I mean if she really did not want to listen to you, she wouldn't. Caitlyn acts like a tsundere. She secretly likes your suggestioins, but she still wants to put on a facade as if she dispises you.
There is verticality in League. It is not on champion abilities though. It is only in the river. The river is actually lower on the Z axis than the rest of the map which can make landing skill shots pesky to say the least when aiming into or out of the river.
It's more like a slope than actual verticality, you won't miss a spell because it went above or below someone, it's just that when you aim straight at someone and it goes through a slope it might feel like it's not that straight. All hitboxes are at ground zero at all times 👍
@@Kmilo361 nope. It is still elevation change even as a "slope" because the hitbox is offset from the visual of the character based on the elevation change of the river.
@@checkyoursixgaming nah just reread what I said, also yeah when I meant ground zero It wasn't really accurate, I was more talking about being in contact at all times with the ground so yeah it would include z axis elevation when crossing into the river
Try electrocute. Procs on E + Q and plant auto, does insane dmg early. PS. What elo are you playing these games at? Some of the things people say in chat are mind bogglingly stupid. Also: The damage from the ult actually comes not when you cast it but when it hits the person when it spreads out from the center. So it hits the people in the center before it hits people on the outside.
These champions with absurd no item damage are so annoying to play against. She gets 2 poke spells and turrets. Like a cracked out "no" skill shot heimerdinger at level 2 onwards.
How come all games on this channel are vs inters ? That must be super low elo... I'm always excited to watch then I see Rakan suiciding lvl 3 and I'm like eh, that won't help me at all. Are you planning to upload high elo games ?

Make a video
Nice tips man! I approve as a fellow Zyra main 😊 400k mastery points here
dont tell me how to play
I love us zyra mains with the info. League of zyra is real.
Thank you for the advice!
I am a new zayra main so these pointers are super helpful to become a better player
the rule 34 tabs in the first frames lmfaooo
Never would have noticed 😂
Ewwwww
Glad I wasn't the only one
I love when streamers set up silly jokes like that haha
Ummm yeah... jokes *cough cough* @@Spydergy
"alright diamond 4"... That Caitlyn is so mad that you outperformed her. 🤣🤣
crazy zyra gameplay , great rotations and great hability acuracy, love ur content my brother in Jesus I0ki, greetins from santiago de chile, i love the matchup leona vs zyra
just finished watching the whole video, im truly impress, u carry that game so hard
back when I played league, when I'd play velkoz mid (one of my best champs, because honestly he was super OP) I'd literally ult on cooldown. as soon as I was 6, Id just q (hope it lands) and r immediately after, just to assert dominance.

This is an outstanding comment, despite its near irrelevance (Don't tell me how to play), and I just wanted to thank you for making it. Cheers!

She has become my main lately. Not even being the top 1 in winrate, she just matches my usual map pressure gameplay. Also, I run Rylai's first
7:59 YES TEACH THEM!!! I'm tired of seeing ppl ulting with her with no plants like ZERO plants and not even trying to put a seed + Q 😫🤧
love a good zyra gameplay, she's been my main since the beggining of this year and i love playing her, so useful and so much damage. also this game is the perfect exemple of the zyra support experience, basically carry the game, feed your asshole of a adc and they get all the credit and a pentakill 😒
AYO whats the 2nd tab in the opener

Personally I would run something other than Taste for blood but still good rune nonetheless. Love the content keep it up!

Hi,ioki, there is actually a vertical. It's low ground on river, u can check how spells interact with this, it's awkward done but it is
Finally my girl is back! And naturally I find her in Ioki’s hands 😂
DONT TELL ME HOW TO PLAY! Ahahaha I laughed so hard at that. Let me adc for you i0ki I’d listen to every helpful tip you had ❤
I wanna see a zyra/Morgana lane. They wouldn't be able to move
"Don't tell me how to play" lol when I played league if I had someone tell me how to play I'd have gotten higher than diamond. Please tell me how to play 😂.
Im OTP Zyra, I build the last two items, tanky... Frozen Heart and Rukerniko
Cara, eu estou jogando com ela(na verdade voltando) e está dando certo! Bora pra cima!
which elo is this?
ZYRA GANG!!!!!
That shaco is like 90% of the shacos out there: just bad
the dont tell me how to play was probably just a meme cause he did instantly listen lol
Yeah, thats why I am banning Zyra every game, also because I play pyke and her plants block my hook, also her E traps my dash
Doesn't Xayah ult let her "jump over" some abilities?
would that have anything to do with her ult making her untargetable?
Talon has left chat.
29:14 arcane comet is the best rune for zyra she proced it 4 times in that team fight
ioki obviously has not played Zyra x jhin yet XD
I am starting to like this Caitlyn. I mean if she really did not want to listen to you, she wouldn't. Caitlyn acts like a tsundere. She secretly likes your suggestioins, but she still wants to put on a facade as if she dispises you.

Bro whats with the titles? Every champ ia either broken or best 😅😅
These champions with absurd no item damage are so annoying to play against. She gets 2 poke spells and turrets. Like a cracked out "no" skill shot heimerdinger at level 2 onwards.
just play zyra apc bot. she needs peel and she can easily follow up cc with her slow ass snare lol
I just did that today with a blitz support. So fun.
so big in real life and in the game?? excuse me?
I wanna know more about Rule 34 Orianna though 👀 😅
How come all games on this channel are vs inters ? That must be super low elo...
I'm always excited to watch then I see Rakan suiciding lvl 3 and I'm like eh, that won't help me at all. Are you planning to upload high elo games ?
Plenty of inters in the higher ranks too. Team is a big part of win or lose.
yeah idk zyra is garbage in higher elo, probably why hes playing on a smurf
Idk who was worse, i0ki's team or the enemy team, like what was Veigar even doing 10:02
Foist
zyra isnt even A tier let along S tier what...
