Unless he gets a rework, it's one of those things:
Annoying lane phase. Though I'll be glad I don't really play midlane for this reason.
You can't catch him and even if you do, he either gets away or you're already dead, and keep in mind that at least Heimer/Zyra dies the moment you jump on them
Feed in lane? Better play time attack or else he will scale and run over people before you can even do something about it, like CC'ing him.
It's as easy as "I don't want to deal with peeling from an Irelia"
Bad/solo lane Lulus will go braindead poke and somehow get out alive. Real smart ones will make my life a living hell, though which is why I would want to main her so I actually will not have to deal with it.
Kinda like Azir but with shorter range and no army. Can't peel from this guy, zones like a madman, and like Azir you're also playing time attack.
I'm not a fan of playing the "reaction support game" where you have play the "conga line" trick where she will force to get you instead of your ADC, OR stop her right when she lands her E, which is a pain to time because my brain's sometimes too slow to catch that.
And yes I am allowed to have an opinion.
