I don't get why Riot feels the need to nerf anything that's "strong" in pro play. Strong does not equal overpowered, Lulu is just good at what she does. Don't make her weaker for the other 99% of players just because the top 1% uses her a lot. (And half the time aren't even successful with her.)
I am convinced that Lulu is banned because most pros find Lulu annoying, and dont like the protect the carry team comps(not really because she is OP).
IMO if you get Lulu in all for one you must group up and spam laugh
My question is, which is more annoying, Lulu, Janna, or Tahm Kench
She's one of the most overpowered champions in the game, saying she is fine completely undermines this thread.
Being balanced is one thing, but having too much safety and very little risk is another.
For instance, there are no real punishments for playing badly as Lulu solo, PLUS the safety she has as a solo laner in lane. Feed in lane? Oh, just build AP and be the second support later! Lulu support doesn't have that same luxury of safety. So it is reasonable that part is toned down.
The current nerf isn't necessarily the best way, but cutting down HP from her ult does town down her 1v1 capabilities, therefore Riot is actually getting the general direction of the nerfs right.
You don't need to be overpowered to deserve a nerf. Ahri's recent nerf is a really good example. Ahri isn't op, but she is ridiculously safe. The same is true for Lulu.
to be honest, all lulu is down here in bronze is blitzcrank fodder. leonas a way safer pick
Nerf Lulu
She's an extremely safe solo laner, almost impossible to kill even without a defensive summoner due to shields, polymorph, and Wild Growth. She scales amazingly into lategame and shines in any sort of Protect the Carry style comp. In a solo queue environment she is strong but not overpowered. In competitive she is an absolute monster.
Lulu can't carry lategame, so I doubt Riot will nerf her. She's only useful early game as her base damage on her abilities and her combo makes her a threat. But without a team, she's nothing.
Hi.
Definitely a polarizing champ because she is barely played in solo queue, but if you queue up as a dynamic 4/5 man literally have to ban her every game as she gets picked basically everytime.
She's gotten to the point where she is hard to use in casual/disorganized play and highly effective/borderline broken in organized play.
Which I guess it slightly better then being broken everywhere but it points to bad design when a champion is this overloaded with utility and can break the game with cetain combos.
She has a knockup, slow, polymorph. She doesn't HAVE to do damage to be overpowered. I HATE playing against her more then I love playing her. Compared to Janna, Sona, or any other supports out there, her biggest flaw really is requiring coordination with teammates. (Which is more user issue then champ issue)
The notion that Lulu is getting nerfed because she is too pervasive in professional play is a pretty big pill for the 99.999% of players not in that scene who probably account for 99.999% of all the Lulu games played right now.
