I'd like to look at those I've coined 'the Others', currently this group consists of Lulu, Lux, Orianna, and Morgana (possibly Karma as well). The obvious connection they all share is their Mage/Support hybrid natures and in one from or another they each possess 1. a shield and 2. a form of soft CC (slow, snare).
There has always been a delicate balancing act around a hybrid Mage-Supports 'adaptability' and finding ways to enable both their offensive and defensive battle potentials.
These 4(5) ladies can largely fit under multiple Mage or Controller Classes/Subclasses: Burst Mage, Battle Mage, Artillery Mage, Enchanter, and Disruptor. To take a look at each of them individually:
Lulu : A Class 5 Enchanter, Class 3 Battle Mage, and Class 3 Disruptor. Currently she is played ~50% Support, 30% Mid, and 15% Top
Lux : A Class 5 Burst Mage, Class 4 Artillery Mage, Class 2 Disruptor, and Class 1 Enchanter. Currently she is played ~85% Mid and 15% Support
Orianna : A Class 4(5) Disruptor, Class 3 Burst Mage, Class 3 Battle Mage, and Class 3 Enchanter. Currently she is played ~98% Mid and 2% Other
Morgana : A Class 5 Disruptor, Class 2(3) Enchanter, and Class 2 Battle/Artillery/Burst Mage. Currently she is played ~80% Support and 20% Mid
Karma : A Class 3 Enchanter, Class 3 Disruptor, Class 3 Battle Mage, Class 2 Artillery Mage, and Class 1 Burst Mage. Currently she is played ~50% Support and 40% Mid
How does Riot feel about these classy ladies? On a scale of Mage to Support, I feel it goes: Mage - Lux - Orianna - Morgana - Lulu - Karma - Support, yet role percentages would place them as Mage - Orianna - Lux - Karma - Lulu - Morgana - Support. In what direction do you feel you balance each of them? Are Orianna and Lux more mages with supportive elements and Lulu, Karma, and Morgana the opposite (supports with mage qualities) or are they all more generalized as mage/support hybrids?
How do you feel the AP/Mana item review will affect them? Will some benefit more than others in build diversity? Who do you think will come off stronger(maybe too strong?)? Who will be hurting?
Last but not least, these ladies currently aren't included in the MYMU, are there any particular reasons for their exclusion? Do you feel they are mostly in a healthy spot or do you see them differentiated enough from other immobile mages, due to their defensive options/hybrid nature, to review them under different circumstances? Are there any changes you would like to make to any of them down the line or were there changes you wanted to include but couldn't for this review rotation?
