Oh yeah, most likely. Plus her passive gives her a free spellcast every so often, which would be perfect just to use to harass bot lane whenever it's up. Once you're 6 you can teleport (E) into the enemy, R to stun, W to root, then Q to slow them. Sounds pretty broken actually.she'll probably be relegated to support unless she somehow becomes really bursty. Most cc mages become supports (zyra, morg). Only reason lux isnt primarily support is because of her laser. Mid lane is usually required to be high burst so as to carry teams, cc mages rarely fit the bill.
I dunno if I'd go THAT far, but I think she's not really a top choice versus say Lulu or Thresh. I mean, a mantra'd shield is like a weaker version of locket of solari + shurelya's, which really isn't THAT bad. And her line thing that roots people or w/e (sorry I don't know her abilities that well) is a pretty nice anti-gank tool as well as chase mechanic - even gives vision in bushes for those times you'd wanna drop a ward if they are attempting to juke. I will admit that I don't have much experience with her before the rework.. but I think she can still support. Plus if she's that awful I'm sure riot will tweak things.Yea she seems pretty awful. She's a very generic AP mid now with no real ultimate. There is nothing left supporty about her at all.
Tell that to rengar/sion/ww/poppy/gangplank/sivir/olaf/heimer/urgot/etc/etc/etc.Plus if she's that awful I'm sure riot will tweak things.
Pretty sure his Q isn't getting nerfed. His ult changes are pretty damn good. Also, I just noticed that with the changes he now is one of six? champions that has zero AP scaling.Trundle up next for butchering. Looks like they are removing his CC reduction and attack damage steal... My favorite character too. So much for trundle the unstoppable troll. Get stunned/rooted/whatevered bro.
Actually, today's PBE update is changing his Q and is giving a tiny bit of AP scaling to his ult.King's Tribute ( Passive )
Now heals for flat 2% instead of 2/3/4/5/6%.
Chomp ( Q )
No changes.

Second part of the drain, which doubles the stats drained from the first part, now happens over 5 seconds down from 6 seconds
