A small compensation buff for Lulu for when her gutting nerf goes through

As the title says...

is currently sitting at a 49%-50% win rate... http://na.op.gg/champion/lulu/statistics/support http://champion.gg/champion/Lulu/Support?league=

As someone who plays , her nerf is going to hit her hard and she is badly going to need some type of compensation to remain viable. With a weaker shield, she will need a stronger polymorph to deal with all the assassins.

W: Whimsy

Polymorph duration increased from 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 to 2.25/2.5/2.75/3/3.25 seconds

Misconception: This nerf hits Lulu hard

Reality: This nerf hits BAD Lulus hard.

lol no

doesnt take a genius to know this is a terrible idea

Edit: Her 'nerf' on PBE aren't even really a nerf. Nothing will change if you used your shield to block damage and not just randomly.

NO. And compensations are not needed. Especially for the types of lulu.

And those changes are broken. If you want your W on a twenty second cooldown, go on

dude, annies q is a point click stun and its only 1.5 seconds. 3 seconds of being invalidated would be infuriating

I also recently started maining lulu and shes already strong the way she is now, but these shield nerfs are literally only to the duration, the damage value the shield is blocking is absolutely unchanged. its still as strong as ever. only difference is you now have to correctly time your shield rather then press e any second its up.

The duration got hit.

This means that you're going to have to shield people when they actually are about to get hit, rather than permanently.

I still gonna ban every time in my ranked games. No matter how nerfed she will I still hate everything about her: animations, mechanics, sounds, etc.

3 seconds is insane, especially on a point-click.

Now you actually have to time your shields instead of just casting it the moment the brush moves and having it still up for the fight after.

Lulu doesn't deserve buffs because she sucks the fun out of the game and her kit will stay strong . Huge slow : check point and click disarm CC : check broken ult : check

These nerfs were long awaited. Nobody except lulu mains or adcs like lulu

Meanwhile karma hasn't seen 50% winrate in about a year, and at one point actually got down to like 42%, rivaling ryze and azir as the lowest winrate champs at that time. The majority of changes karma has had since the beginning of s7 have been nerfs - she got a couple of base stat tweaks as part of more sweeping stat adjustments, and she got one meaningful change to her passive.

Oh, and the long-promised mini-rework that we were going to get by the end of last year? Pushed back to midseason this year, and then when midseason rolled around we basically got told "It's definitely maybe eventually coming at some point."

Meanwhile more nerfs and no compensation buffs, and lulu mains wanna be salty bc they sit around 50% and they're getting a longer poly duration.

Listen. That buff would make her broken, and the nerf is not gutting. You're being dumb for thinking that. Lulus shield now takes better timing, and guess what. Her shield isn't the only thing she needs to use with her ADCs. Don't suggest a buff for a champion that at the moment does not need it.
