Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 trades due to Zyra's superior poke range and plant damage combined with Ezreal's Q spam from safety.
- Post-6 you still struggle as Zyra's R creates massive zone control that limits your mobility and Ezreal gains more burst potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for short trades when Zyra misses E or uses abilities on minions - dash in with passive, auto-E-auto, then kite back using Zac's E engage threat as cover.
- Extended trades favor them due to plant damage and Ezreal's superior range for follow-up.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit 2 first and look for an all-in with Zac's level 2 E, then maintain slow push to build minion advantage for future engages.
- Avoid getting frozen on as you need minions to dash and their poke becomes oppressive when you can't trade back.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase kills through Zyra plants or into unwarded areas where Ezreal can E away - you'll take massive plant damage and lose the trade.
- Never use R aggressively without vision control as Ezreal's mobility makes it easy to waste your ultimate.
