League of Legends: Two Popular Support Heroes Hit by Nerf Hammer

Lulu and Milio have been pretty good in pro play lately, which prompted Riot Games to do something. Read on to learn more.

The nerfs for Lulu are skewed toward pro play and are not too noticeable in lower skill brackets. Lulu's fairy companion, Pix, has his magic damage reduced from 15-117 to 9-111 based on level.

Lulu's base armor got a three-point reduction from 29 to 26 as well, but not a huge deal later in the game. It's not all nerfs because the shield provided by her "Help, Pix!" has increased from 75/110/145/180/215 (+55% AP) to 75/115/155/195/235 (+55% AP).

Milio has been quite good as of late, so much so that he has a relatively high ban rate of over 40%. Much of his success is due to his ability to boost his teammates' damage while giving them defensive tools when needed. To address this, his passive, Fired Up, got nerfed badly. The enchantment granted by his passive now only empowers basic attacks to deal 15% AD bonus magic damage (based on ally's level) instead of 15%-35% AD previously.

Here are the other champion adjustments in Patch 13.12:
