Hello everyone!! Taking up the theme of the League of Legends, and the revisions of the characters, the first one I did was about Sona when I had just started on Steemit's platform, but I had not encouraged myself to do another one. @Pacokam8 is a user who also makes reviews of LoL characters but in his style, if you are interested in these topics you can go through his blog and review his publications concerning the League of Legends.
This time it's up to Zyra, a champion with whom I have a funny story, since my beginning in LoL I did not understand it and thought it was a useless character. I was wrong, here I will touch on several aspects of this character and show that he is very useful and strong.

Zyra belonged to a forest called Kumungu, where all her race dominated the place, taking animals to feed, with their thorns and vines, everyone who stepped on the site ended up being a victim. As is well known, the life cycle of the jungle places is exhausted once the animals and the natural elements that are needed in a place are beginning to become scarce so that they remain "alive". This was what happened in the Kumungu forest, where little by little everything became more scarce, and it was the consequence for all her race, who began to die of hunger.
Zyra met a sorceress in the worst decadence, and saw in her a chance of '' salvation '', who later became her food. Zyra had spent a long time without feeling a living creature to devour, in her worst famine and despair she caught her with her thorns.
While eating the sorceress, several magical events arose where Zyra absorbed the body of that sorceress, becoming now her new body, without knowing that now she would be the bearer of a human body. Zyra was reborn having a different vision of life, now she has the possibilities of doing many things with her new body.
The references were taken from her biography on the official website of LoL
Zyra Chibi
Passive: Garden of Thorns.
Zyra has the ability to make seeds spawn, the more level Zyra has the seeds appear more frequently, these seeds have a duration of 30 seconds each. The seeds die when an enemy champion steps on them.
When Zyra uses some of her abilities (Q or E) near the seeds, these seeds sprout their roots and attack the nearest target that they have spitting thorns in the distance.
Passive
Q: Deadly Spines.
Zyra makes spines and vines appear horizontally on the ground, they explode and cause magical damage to enemies within range.
Deadly Spines
W: Rampant Growth.
This ability is similar to the passive, but the difference is that with the W the player can choose the place to plant the seed, these have the particularity of giving vision as a sentinel, but with a much smaller range. Zyra can accumulate the throws of this ability up to 2 times.
Rampant Growth
E: Gasping Roots.
This is one of the strongest skills of Zyra, throws a cluster of vines in a vertical direction to her, they are meant to inflict damage and trap everything in their path, both enemies and subjects, (feature to be emphasized, because enemies do not you can cover this skill with subjects).
Gasping Roots
R: Stranglethorns.
With this ability Zyra makes a bunch of circular vines appear in a large range of area, inflicting damage by expanding and after 2 seconds they close causing an uprising to all enemies within the area by a short duration. If you use Stranglethorns in an area that is full of live roots, they reset their time to 0 and start throwing a burst of thorns faster and with more damage.

Zyra is a character with few appearances, but almost all of them have a change of appearance in their abilities, which makes their appearances very attractive for the purchase.

My final conclusion for this champion after having played a lot is that she is very strong and useful, she can be use as mid-laner and support, thanks to her seeds she is a champion with a lot of pushing force in each line of the map. Remember that being a magician-type champion is weak in hand-to-hand combat.
My recommendation when playing it is to stay away from the enemy always, after all, Zyra's plants are those who do the damage at a distance, so we can use them and so our enemy does not have the possibility to touch us.
For first-timers, maybe they feel bored at the beginning by not knowing the potential that Zyra hides, I highly recommend watching videos and learn the combos that can be achieved with it.
Finally, their appearances are great and all except the SKT T1 have new skills animations and have affordable prices.
