And decrease the shield amount she gives to herself, but increases the amount she gives. This way she will be stopped playing solo lane because she will be more risky and sincerely, playing lulu on a solo lane is not even fun at all ( I love playing lulu, but solo lane? no. playing against is also boring af. )

This honestly.
Though the +bonus hp on ult would still make solo Lulu just as popular because of how well she scales (of course compared to other supports; we all know her damage is shit compared to most DPS champs) into late game and that people play her as a secondary support late game anyways, so no.
The shield part, though, is what's slightly better. People hardly ever use her E as a shield anymore.

I think she would lose her popularity on solo lanes , if her shield value on herself was lower, and her ult bonus health was something like half the amount to herself. But if she received a buff like increased E shield, I think she would be played more a s a support

And she would not become suddenly more popular bot lane... if you want support Lulu to take over you need to give her better bases (possibly nerf scalings accordingly), why do you think people send her to solo lanes where she can get actual gold to be a secondary support to the team? Too much of her raw power was taken away in favor of her utility AP scaling for her to feel rewarding as a bot lane support.
The strongest supports are those who do their job regardless of build, 
etc don't give a flying fuck about selfish stats (other than CDR and tankiness which are found on the team-oriented items anyway).

Tahm is more played in solo lanes, at least is what I see. Support lulu would become more viable with increased shield on ally and nerfing her ult if she casts on herself. The reason why people play her in solo lane more than sup is because she is more viable there than bot lane. Once she becomes less played in solo lanes, and buffing her support counterpart, will make her more played bot lane
Athenes Lulu2 votesNot really, her support playstyle is just unpopular and unappealing to most people.
No one likes to having to force yourself to rely on someone else, especially in soloQ. A debuff support can only do so much when she's got a bunch of teammates that has only 50% of what's going on. Other supports can work with teammates with 50%, Lulu's teammates need at least 75%. Arbitrary values, but you get the point.
People want to be flashy and look like they are carrying, not getting carried. We know how awesome Lulu actually is when she uses spells properly even if it means to have zero damage, but not them; she is "boring" and her buffs are way too subtle for anyone to notice, especially from a 3rd-person point of view.
Don't forget that most players are mechanics-focused, not tactics. Support as a role is unpopular for a reason. About pros and spec live people "setting" the meta... certain champs who are actually in a good spot yet not commonly picked are everywhere. Lulu support is just like that.
Nami is just as unpopular for almost the same reasons.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesThey've already balanced Lulu around solo laning and have been quite satisfied with her there.
