misread lulu's q change

Thought it said that her q damage was reduced by 70%, not to 70%, which means her q damage is exactly the same when wave clearing and even better for yourself when dueling someone

So her solo lane will be more cancer. Woo? I highly suggest pulling something; preferably her q change

Also, blindly downvoting doesn't tell me why you disagree.

Well, you forget one big thing ... BASE Damage. This is a net nerf to her waveclear and her "Poke-through-Minions-24/7" play style.

They nerf her not-so-interactive part (plus her teamfight damage potential) and buff her dueling/risky trades. For me, it is a Win-Win situation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but: Old Damage = (100 AP x .5 Ratio) + 80 Base = 130 Damage New Damage First Target = (100 AP x .7 Ratio) + 80 Base = 150 Damage New Damage Subsequent Target = ((100 AP x .7 Ratio) + 80 Base)) x .7 Reduction = 105 Damage

That's how I interpreted the change. If I'm wrong, how does the math work out that the subsequent damage is actually the same?

First, how did you get that her damage will be the same when clearing? It clearly says: 70% beyond first target. Which means her clearing damage is 30% LOWER behind first minion she hits.

And no, her lane won't be more cancer as this is a big nerf to it. As being mentioned above, her poke through minions is severely weakened - 30% less damage is huge. She has to position carefully (which means she's not hitting both you and minions at the same time) wait for you to get in her face to get same damage as before.

And I'm baffled how this post isn't already downvoted to hell with how much disinformation it contains.

I just double-checked the patch notes, where is this? Is it pbe?

I think halving her damage to minions while buffing her bases is probably the best way to buff Lulu. She's probably the most obnoxious champion to play against in a solo lane. There is almost never a point when you can catch and kill her. Unless she makes a huge misplay such disconnecting her router, turning her computer off or afking at base.
