Anyone else find Lulu as top/mid a really bad pick ?

I still don't understand why pros choose Lulu.

Its usually less for lane, and more for comp. Lulu as a top can sacrifice for a 2v1 and still be helpful to the team with kit (GG Growth).

Most of the time that is what the top lane of most teams are relegated to, comp specific roles. Tanks, Supports, etc. Some teams though have top lane carries (See ZionSpartan) but the team forces him to play champions that don't fit that role. Which is sad.

See Fenix.

I was more talking Top Lulu. I hate Mid Lulu in the current state of things, and mid lulu, when you are going Jugger'Maw (with Top Sion), is really just bad.

Agreed. I'm just salty about that game. I prefer a top maokai and a lulu support.

They were running a Jugger'Maw. Which is Top Lulu/Janna Support. Kog'Maw. Then Second Threat mid (for TL it is usually Corki) and a early player maker jungler or late game tank jungler.

I hope this is the game you were talking about. If not, I apologize for assuming :P

thank you!

I was talking about the last TL vs C9 game, where they put Fenix, who had been carrying the whole playoffs, on Lulu.

I figured, but I was exhausted so I made a disclaimer :P

I will never understand the Mid Lulu/Top Sion with an attempted Jugger'maw.

Me neither. Lulu is a good top laner with a cinderhulk jungler, just like Kennen is. Keep them out of mid.

No it's not The problem is that certain comps are easier to execute so teams that pick lulu have to show better execution. Lulu is a contested pick for a reason, her statistic speak for themselves. It's just that people like to run scenarios in their head using another champion. Oh if only that team had Sion instead of lulu in that fight..etc that's a stupid way of doing it because that Sion or x champion would not have gotten you into that situation in the first place

It's not a bad pick necessarily, it's just an extremely boring pick. No one wants to see everyone supporting one person and having that one person get all the highlight moments. That doesn't make for exciting _anything _. It's like everyone blocking while the quarterback throws a Hail Mary... and then it gets caught at the end zone by that same quarterback. Boring and dumb. I much prefer comps that allow everyone to have high moments, everyone gets to be a star, make plays, and contribute in meaningful ways beyond "if I press this button, my teammate will win the game for me."
