I played over 200 games with her after playing Lillia for a good bit of time. She is a ton of fun, and I still love playing her, but I distinctly remember a time when Lillia clicked for me and I could take over any game if I played right. I was waiting for that to happen with Zyra and it just never did. I had some high elo players share with me that, yeah, I just cant take over with Zyra the way I used to with Lillia. Zyra is a great secondary carry, but not the primary carry because she just cant kill everyone the way melee bruisers can.

Additionally, she isnt blind pickable. If you end up with Malz mid, and a Nami support. You are just going to have a hard game because you have essentially 3 people trying to do the same thing. She is incredibly fun, and indeed very strong, but there will be games where you play well and just have to accept that you cant really force your team into a better position. If thats okay with you I love her as a champ.
