How to beat Morgana as Zyra: the early game

Levels 1-2 you win by respecting only one thing: her Q. It has a slow cast and long cooldown, so stand behind minions, drop plants on her Q line, and every whiff is a free E-Q all-in on her carry. Her shield eats the root, so force it onto your carry before you commit. Seed the ground in the meantime, root her on the beat afterwards, and let the plants rather than your own poke be what punishes a support standing in her own pool to zone you.
