Although my answer might surprise you, I actually don’t like Haunted Zyra. So many people have asked me why that I decided just to write a post about it.
To me, Zyra is a champion who appears harmless, but holds deadly power. Before she captured the body of the sorceress (according to her lore) and was just a plant, there was no apparent danger when approaching her jungle. Animals ventured in numerous times, and would eventually get killed by Zyra in a place where they thought they were in a regular natural habitat. Even after injecting her powers into a body and becoming mobile, she has an attractive and flowerly appearance, but when an enemy gets in range, she traps them in place and kills them instantly without giving them a chance of escape.
Haunted Zyra seems to have an innate evil to herself. She’s surrounded by death, and spawns creatures you would presumably find in a graveyard. Upon her death, she herself turns into a hideous creature. This conflicts with what I think Zyra is, or at the very least, what I want her to be. Instead of being innocent to lure in prey, she clearly advertises how terrorizing she is.
I dislike the Wildfire Zyra skin for similar reasons – it doesn’t seem like she fits in well with randomly setting forest fires when she herself is supposed to represent nature. I think a better skin for Zyra would be Death Blossom Zyra, similar to the Elise skin. I think that series is fitting for Zyra, and if it is ever made, I would definitely get it.
Why I don’t like Haunted Zyra
Being a Zyra main, a lot of people asked me if I was excited for the new Zyra skin due to be released with the Harrowing patch.
