Uh then you have Zyra, who's an okay carry support to play in the bot lane. the plants just become very difficult for the enemy bot lanes to deal with. And then you have the likes of Morana, Lux, and Brand, which again, these are kind of more carry supports to play in the bot lane with Zyra, but I think Zyra is the better one out of all of these lot because of just her poke damage and how much crowd control she has. These other supports can still work well.
