Zyra vs Camille Counter Pick

Camille needs a wall. Hookshot is her only repeatable way to cross ground quickly, and it does nothing without terrain to grapple, which is a large part of why a 575-range zone mage holds 56.5% over 310 support games on patch 16.13.1.

Damage typing sets the itemization. Camille is physical, and her 68 base attack damage is among the highest opening values any champion brings, so armor genuinely matters against her rather than being a throwaway stat. Running the other way, Adaptive Defenses grants a shield sized against the damage type that just hit her, meaning steady magic chip from Deadly Spines keeps a magic shield permanently refreshed. Damage arriving all at once — spines, plants and a root landing together — beats that passive far more efficiently than repeated poke does.

Grasping Roots is the most valuable button available. It halts the Hookshot approach, denies Precision Protocol its empowered recast on target, and pins her inside a plant zone long enough that 650 starting health stops looking generous against 2,333 at level 18. Once The Hextech Ultimatum anchors an ally in place, the fight becomes stationary and confined, which is the ideal condition for Stranglethorns. Both champions share 340 base move speed, so nobody outruns anyone once the fight starts. The Camille profile covers her recasts.
