Word on the street that blue buff's mana regeneration per 5 is being nerfed from 1% to 0.5% of total mana for the upcoming patch. That nerf is indeed ****ing huge; definitely going to have a huge impact, notably to junglers and mana-based casters.
Besides previously announced changes and nerfs, lots of QoL changes as well as bug fixes, and dat nerf on Shen as well as the Summoner Heal (usage on bot lane too OP?)
Lulu Patch Notes - v1.0.0.136. Significant changes are highlighted (except those previously announced)
New Skins in the Store
Bittersweet Lulu
Wicked Lulu
League of Legends v1.0.0.136
Lulu, the Fae Sorceress
Pix, Faerie Companion (Passive) - Pix fires magical bolts of energy whenever his owner attacks another enemy unit. These bolts are homing, but can be intercepted by other units.
Glitterlance - Pix and Lulu each fire a bolt of magical energy that heavily slows all enemies it hits. An enemy can only be damaged by one bolt.
Whimsy - If cast on an ally, grants them movement speed and ability power for a short time. If cast on an enemy, turns them into an adorable critter that can't attack or cast spells.
Help, Pix! - If cast on an ally, commands Pix to jump to an ally and shield them. He then follows them and aids their attacks. If cast on an enemy, commands Pix to jump to an enemy and damage them. He then follows them and grants you vision of that enemy.
Wild Growth (Ultimate) - Lulu enlarges an ally, knocking enemies away from them and granting them a large amount of bonus health. For the next few seconds, that ally gains an aura that slows nearby enemies.
