I know my limits, it's just a matter of me not liking being passive.

Also i'm one of the people that are like this

Seeds are like passive Azir soldiers; minions that last a bit longer and are activated by her other spells. Her other spells... which include an AoE knockup, an AoE snare, and that AoE ult with the massive knockup / nuke / minion steroid.

Why no love for zor guys

An editable OP would be excellent. Or can we get a purple-name to transfer the ownership of this thread to someone still active? That's a thing too, right? Didn't the Minecraft thread get transferred from UltimateAvalon to Maestro?

technically possible, probably unlikely. a little bit of "they can't play nice, why should we give them toys" kind of thing.

Would a purple prefer we make a 2.0 thread and lock this one then? Because that's the only other option I see, really.

The page count, we can't give that up!

(Also, Zyra is probably one of the more aggressive / poke orientated supports in the game, and it's super annoying and efficient if the opposing bot lane can't either sustain it, avoid it, or block it)

And Karma is the good version of zyra support.

Diana is in a bad state because the meta really disfavors her right now.

But you didn't make up that reasoning on the spot. It's something that's actually been thrown around as a reason not to do it on the back end, based on how you said it. And that is positively ridiculous.

I'm more theorizing the subconscious process behind not doing so than telling you what's been said behind the scenes. Because I have no idea why it hasn't been done before despite having been requested many, many times.

Apathy and too much ambition are the reasons things don't get done. I don't believe that you'd jump to that reason without some support for it in what you've seen back end.

I find karma support to be lacking because of her inability to ignore creeps when q-ing
