She looks so awesome. Too bad she is support
bet this is Veigar's GF!
omg she looks awsome
There is a lot of talk about her "6 abilities"
Think Lee Sin / Soraka ( you do an ability and 2nd part of the same ability becomes active ) or One spell does one thing to Teammates and another to enemy champions.
Keep in mind that polymorph can be considered offensive and defensive. I think her "6 abilities" work something like this:
Q(2Q), W(2W), E(poly), R(ult) where (2Q) is like 2nd ability triggered after you do the first part.
polymorph will work like witch slayer in hon. you will shrink the target making them move slower and unable to cast.
She has polymorph so she's halfway there, all she needs now is ice lance and she'll be the strongest champion.
...i'll see myself out...
Her ult is not a switcher. Xypherous specifically stated that her 6 abilities aren't like nidalee (where you use ult to switch them). So i'm guessing it's either 2 different abilities based on who you target, or some form of follow up.
It's also stated that she can use one of her abilities to increase the range of her other ability. Dont exactly know how that will work though.

Can't say much about the abilities, them not being revealed and all, but the concept is ungodly boring. Yordles aren't that great period, to me at least.
Hopefully she'll have fun abilities. Most supports are kinda...eh.
I meant more of a beneficial skill shot, so similar to Ezreals W or Lux's W (as you mentioned) but with a heal or a hefty shield, possibly even an ally-based Blitz pull (i.e. Pudge from Dota).
I do like the skillset she seems to have though, just love the idea of a skillshot based pure-support .
Another idea could be a tanky support with an ally-based Urgot switch, but thats just going off-topic hehe.
How can you say Blitz grab is not beneficial. With a great pull you turn a 5v5 poke fight into a 1v5 and a decent team with instantly send him to oblivion
After rummaging through the LoL forum reading what the designer wrote about her;
1. She has 6 abilities, 3 offensive, 3 defensive.
2. One of them is Poly, other is a range enhancer on one of her abilities. Another one is related to her passive.
3. Her ulti is not a switch button, she is not Nidalee, nor Karma.
4. Her secondary support is not damage. (Unlike Karma again.)
5. Her passive is another Auto attack enhancer, for herself. She can give this passive to friendly champs for a duration.
6. Her scaling is 0.25 for offensive, 0.5 for defensive abilities.
7. She does not need AP gear to be viable, she can do great with support gear. (Appareantly she can do 0 cs just fine.)
8. She doesn't have any new resource gimmicks, just pure old mana.
9. Her skins effect the way polymorph looks.
10. Polymorph is not her ulti.
11. She can't dominate or push in lane but she can turn the tides in team fights.
12. She can do mid, bot lane support and jungle. (Jungle hints at sustain or some sort of AoE damage spell if you ask me.) Her main role is bot lane support. Her scaling ratios suggest a true AP would be better off as mid. Her main role is bot lane support.
Bonus: Phreak will make a champ spotlight featuring jungling Lulu while building Tri Force and doing tons of damage.
Polymorph:
You can walk around and use summoner spells, but it is under silence category so don't be surprised if you can't flash while being poly'ed. There is a 15% slow when you are polymorphed, but this is due to the reduced size mainly. Since you are smaller, you look like you move faster so they added a minimal slow to avoid confusion.
Basicly you are reduced to a minion's size when poly'ed but the size will increase based on your size modifier. (Stacked Cho'gath and Nautilus will be larger than others when poly'ed for example.) Poly does not interfere with pathfinding and hitboxes, but since you will be minion sized, clicking on you is harder. (Skill shots won't miss because you look smaller.)
Poly is targeted, not a skill shot. It can also be countered by tenacity, QSS, Cleanse and oranges.
That's about all I can gather from the thread.

Good job Scorage - added to the OP!
