The changes didn't really do that much for support lulu but absolutely destroyed her viability in mid or top. How is this diverse? How is that fair to the players who played her in those roles? All you accomplished was making less people play her. She wasn't broken in mid or top, just good enough to keep up with the meta mid laners, in most cases she fell behind because she wasn't the most spectacular solo laner. It deeply saddens me that an article came out today, where Riot pats themselves on the back, but they've done a lot of the opposite. Look at Mordekaiser or Mid Morgana. Champions that were never really strong, but good sometimes, forced by changes to be only viable in one role. The Zyra rework should be the shining example how you should change a champion. They reworked her so that players who played her mid and support could still player her in those roles. Why do we keep getting champions gutted to push them out of diverse roles and force them to play only 1 role? It seems that Riot looks the other way if a champion all of a sudden becomes viable as a support. But any other role, they get stripped. I just want my solo lane lulu back.

People don't want Lulu in a solo lane again.

She's absolute cancer.

She was very strong AND extremely unhealthy at the same time. Her abilities are very impactful with zero-to-none outplay potential in most of the kit. Removing her from solo lanes was whole point of her changes.

Rito's attention should still be on making Support Lulu viable again, seeing as it's her main role. You're acting like they made support Lulu a thing again, but destroyed solo-lane Lulu in the process, which is wrong; they're both destroyed. It's just less noticable for support Lulu as she already sucked before the latest changes_(due to the constant nerfs for solo-lane Lulu over the years)_

I, for one, am very happy that I don't have to lane against Lulu anymore.

There isn't a problem with the fact that Lulu can go outside botlane and function as a solo laner. However, it becomes a problem when solo Lulu has all of support Lulu's strengths as well as covering up all of her weaknesses nearly completely, and that she eventually became a "must pick" almost every game due to having too much and too good of everything in a solo laner: safety, bully potential, waveclear, loaded with utility, has DPS, and does not have the risks of "becoming useless" when camped. Yeah, that has to go.

I will just leave this line as a reminder why solo Lulu needs to be "gutted".

On the other hand AD/onhit builds are still legit af. Only full AP Lulu is kind of shit, and for the better.

What not to love about ANOTHER ranged into melee matchup where she can double poke on every auto, cast her secondary auto and abilities around a fairy she can reposition freely, have one of the strongest CCs in the game as a point-and-click, and an ultimate that basically makes it a "no you can't kill me" panic button.
