How to fix Lulu.
I'm sure all of you know that Lulu has pretty much been being a terror in Top and Mid lane recently. However her support play has been suffering due to the nerfs she's gotten. In this post I will lay out my ideas for how to buff up her supporting but keep her solo laning in check.
-----------------------------Change #1-------------------------------- Glitterlance now does 60/70/80/90/100% damage to minions.
The reason for this change twofold. Firstly Support Lulu only really needs wave clear after laning is over, so this change won't really hurt support Lulu at all because she'll get her wave clear about when she starts needing it to defend towers. Secondly part of the reason solo Lulu works is because her wave clear basically forces her lane opponent to stay in the lane, where they are kind of in a no win situation. This would make it so many more champions have the option of pushing the lane and then wandering.
This also gives them a way to nerf/buff Solo Lulu in the future without touching support Lulu. Solo Lulu too weak? Change the minion damage to 80/85/90/95/100%. Too strong? Change it to 40/55/70/85/100%.
-----------------------------Change #2-------------------------------- Undo Lulu's recent utility nerfs.
Simple reason for this, utility is what supports primarily work with, so this will make her supporting better.
-----------------------------Change #3------------------------------- Move Glitterlance's damage AP ratio to her ult, Offensive E's ratio to her Defensive E. Also increase the base damage of Glitterlance and offensive Help! Pix.
The reason for moving the AP ratios is simple, if you are looking to do damage you generally don't pick Lulu. The reason you play Lulu is her ability to give a teammate a mountain of temporary HP and her utility. Also having a 1.9 AP ratio for temporary HP might actually make building AP on her (as a support) feel good.
Base damage needs to be increased simply because she doesn't really pose a threat to any ADC, because they can just Lifesteal it back and she'll go OOM before she overcomes that.
-----------------------------Change #4------------------------------- If Lulu's Help! Pix! shield breaks, it refunds half the mana cost.
Simple... reward Lulu for using her shield effectively in the spot she needs it most... her mana sustain.
I didn't write this, but a fellow kind person on GD did. Maybe we can get people to read this. #savesupportlulu2014 :D Source: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=4746535
