I would be fine with tweaking AP ratios or base values on her W speed boost and her ult, but nerfing Lich Bane is like breaking everyone's crutches because one handicapped guy robbed a bank. | ||

I think she needs more/other nerfs as well, probably a revert on her passive buff. However, I do think the strength of Lichbane is an issue and should be nerfed given how many champions the item has "pushed over the edge" in the past. Nerfing Lichbane and buffing traditional Lichbane users to compensate is a good place to start looking at what changes need to be made, if any, to bring champions like Lulu into line. I also said it earlier, but I'll reiterate. It's important to realize that Riot said that they never intended Lichbane to be an item for burst damage, but rather for sustained damage on mages that rely on autos. DFG has always been the intended AP burst item. The issue is that Lichbane post-season 3 changes is so strong that it serves the dual function of increasing sustained AP dps AND increasing burst damage by a large margin. Isn't it how it was being used (outside of Fizz?) Lulu auto attacks plenty, just look at her kit on her passive. Same for Kayle, with her E on her kit. The result was it was too much burst, but remember this was after they insanely buffed Kayle's E in the first place, and Lulu's passive. also note, zamphira's Lulu did not revolve around lichbane as it's item, and he was still using it to quite a good success. | ||

Anyways, if you've got late-stage metastatic cancer, you're probably dead anyways. Anyways (again) Lulu mid was fine. Even buying Lich Bane for the extra AP ratio only makes her damage adequate. Her utility is definitely great (especially with added levels and AP scaling), but she still has significantly less damage than other mids. Just play Veigar or something against her and blow stuff up and laugh at her. She was fine, but Riot's philosophy is that it has to kneejerk nerf everything before players come out with it, which further encourages players to depend on kneejerk nerfs which preserve the meta they have a loe/hate relationship with. Uh, yeah, I think I just got cancer. | ||

Really I am just super excited about Diana buff, stopped building Lich Bane on her awhile ago anyways, time to read Diamond's new Jungle Diana guide and wreck nerds! All she needed was just a litttttlee tiny nudge to be solid and I think this may be it. | ||

That and you're probably in Wood league. | ||

riot realizes that khazix was no longer being played as an assassin but instead as a tanky unkillable early dominating safe assassin teamfight jungler as such they take away his damage reduction and unit walking while stealthed and reduced all ratios and also can only evolve one ability | ||
