So, at the start of the 7.2 patch cycle a buff to Lulu's scaling on Q was added. You lateron explained in this post that it was gonna be replaced with something more suited for her support role. You claimed that at the start of a patchcycle you sometimes throw in random buffs/nerfs to see how it affects things, to afterwards test out other things etc to come up with the perfect buff/nerf.

I really liked that post, it gave me hope that this patch you were actually gonna try to buff support Lulu. However, it didn't go as I thought. Instead of actually trying to come up with a way to buff her support role, changing things each cycle etc, you just threw in a manacost-nerf on her Q and left it at that. I mean.. REALLY? Lulu was nerfed time after time because of her solo-lane capabilities(nerfs that support-Lulu didn't deserve) and now all that you do is.. this? A manacost nerf and a little passive buff?

I mean, I'm glad shes being buffed in the first place, but all this little buff does is gonna make her a less priority for future buffs that would actually do something because 'she just got buffed, we want to wait a few patches to see how they pent out'. You nerfed her poke in patch 6.13, which was over 6 months ago. I really don't want to wait another 6 months or even longer until she gets some ACTUAL BUFFS that make her an actual viable support again.

Q - Glitterlance

COST : 60/65/70/75/80 mana ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70 mana

That looks like a buff to me, not a nerf...

Well, you could look at the glass as half full... Traditional supports have taken a bit of a backseat (at least at higher elos) to the mage support so far this season.

A buff to her Q probably does more for her support attractiveness than actually buffing her support abilities, lol.
