5/14 PBE Update

Champions

Rek'Sai Base HP lowered to 570 from 611.2

Leona Zenith Blade (E) [Missile Width lowered to 70 from 90?] [Thank the lord.]

Lulu Base Mana regen per second increased to 1.7 from 1.2 Mana Regen Per Second Per Level lowered to .12 from .16 [Note: ricklessabandon noted on Twitter: "yup! trying out +2.5 mp5 at level one and being -almost- the same at 18. goal is to help lane for lulu, especially as support."

Abyssal Scepter [Currently has a rework on the PBE] Ability power increased to 40 from 30 Now deals 40 (+2 per level) damage every 2 seconds from 80 (+5) every 4 seconds. Magic Resist reduction on unique passive now [5% for 6 seconds, stacking up to 6 times for a total of 30% ] FROM [15% for 10 seconds, stacking up to 3 times for a total of 45%]

Banner of Command [Unsure but seems like the promote cast range was increased to 1200 from 1000. Will need to confirm in-game]

Blade of the Ruined King Active range increased to 550 from 450 [Note: This change was added in the 5/13 update. Context from Meddler here.]

Bilgewater Cutlass Active range increased to 550 from 450


Not really sure about the Rek'Sai nerfs.

One of the highest playrates/winrates out of the support role, and the tank meta suits her well.

This won't destroy her, but it was needed; the hitbox is pretty wonky a lot of times.

Isn't the Leona change a nerf but potential buff? Allows her to weave it between minions better.

I'm dumb. Thought her blade was blocked by minions. Yeah it's a pure nerf

Why would she want to do that? Her Zenith Blade isn't blocked by minions like Rocket Grab or Death Sentence.

It isn't?? Well then very sorry about that. Never played her before and just thought it did based on how it looked. Yeah it's a straight nerf. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info though :)

Those interested take a look at this idea i have for abysal: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/YIG1IEVM-idea-togglelable-abysal-scepter-with-two-modes

Not for the light readers. wall of text ahead.

This part might be worth reading: New description could go like:

UNIQUE Passive:Every 4 seconds emanates a pulse dealing 15 (+2.5 per champion level) magic damage to nearby enemy champions with each consecutive pulse dealing the precedent pulse's damage cumulatively (up to 3 times; example 60/120/180 dmg at lvl 18). Each pulse also reduces an enemy champion's Magic Resist by 15% for 10 seconds (stacks up to 3 times, up to 45%)

now it would be just by 10% up to 30% since they nerfed it.

this would make it stand apart from sunfire cape, wouldn't be as generic.

I dont understand the lulu changes increasing base mana regen what does that do?

Edit: Nvm figured it out. Alright, more mana regen early game like a support should have. Now she has mana regen like nami,sorak. sona and janna. But she has a decrease in mana regen in late game 19.3 mana per 5 seconds from 20.4 mana per 5 seconds. So is it a buff or a nerf? I feel its a buff because items mana regen are based on base mana regen. So isnt have a higher base mana regen better?
