The Lulu circlejerk is beginning

Darth West··19 votes·1,859 views

Not like we have Rengar, Kha, Graves and all of them lovely people who can delete you from existence. But ahh yes.. let's circlejerk over Lulu. This community never fails to amaze me. -claps-

I find it hilarious when I see someone complaining about a champion and then someone see's it and decides out of no where how much they hate a champion, calling them "Toxic" to play against. Only one thing to say.

Sheeps.

Edit: Noticing it's mostly assassin mains complaining, I wonder why.

until you tell me how to win lane against lulu, as a support main i will always ask for a nerf to lulu

she has 29% ban rate in diamond+ 52.3% win rate 32% pick rate

http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/lulu/diamond

and you're not able to explain to me ANY of those 3 numbers people just realised that lulu is gamebreaking now and started to permaban her they also don't want to face a 53% win rate 20% pick rate champ because they know that it means there is a high chance for them to lose

Ok since you are clearly having trouble with the math I will hold your hand for you.

She has a high pick rate because people saw her in LCS.

She has a high win rate because she counters the current hurr durr assassin burst meta.

She has a high ban rate because she counters the current hurr durr assassin burst meta.

I hope this cleared up everything for you.

either you're abusing lulu's impossible to lane against laning phase, or you're so delusional

in both case you didn't explain how to win lane against lulu

Maybe actually pick a champion that counters her like sona or nami instead of brand or malz.

I know using your head is hard but you can do it buddy.

aside from sona that is unplayable in master as Master tier Sona mains can't get to master anymore How actually do you win lane with nami against lulu when she has 51.5% win rate against nami?

i'm just asking because i never played nami in my life

you took 2 random champs then added "if you lose against lulu blablabalabl" wp

As a Lulu main he is right though. Lulu can't win trades against Nami and Sona. You have to get really outplayed to end up losing lane against Lulu in that matchup.

Ahristocats3 votes

i won't comment on nami since i don't play the champ

but how exactly sona can win against lulu? how can you out-trade lulu? sona's base damage are numerically inferior to lulu, her mana cost are way higher if she uses her W her 325 base ms and lack of cc makes her unable to disengage 2v2

how?

Lulu's biggest lane counter is sustain. She doesn't have the mana to keep trades up against someone that can sustain against them.

You have to remember that a large portion of Lulu's harass comes from using 2 spells. It's hard for her to just poke you with Q because if you're behind minions it gets cut by 30%. Sona outranges Lulu unless she burns mana to send Q from a minion.

you think sona has the mana to heal what lulu can do? i'm surprised by the fact that you think this considering the mana cost of sona's W and the base heal

it doesn't matter, once you hit the slow if your adc follows it's the easiest 2v2 ever as sona is pure garbage in lane due to her numbers she also has 325 base ms

Alright I'm gonna bring in some math. For this math I'm gonna assume both Lulu and Sona are level 5, and since from what I'm hearing all of the Lulus being picked are maxing E first I'll take that into account.

Now, for a trade involving Lulu using E against Sona this requires Lulu to have gone well within Sona's Q range.

Sona takes 140 damage from Lulu's E while Lulu takes 100 damage from Sona's Q. Sona can then use W to heal 35 of that damage as well as shield 30 damage against Lulu's upcoming Q.

This results in Lulu doing 155 damage while potentially doing 80 damage to her ADC with Q while Sona returns 100 damage and gives her ADC a 40 damage buff and 65 HP worth of heals/shields, while also potentially hitting Lulu's ADC for 100 with the split of her Q. This trade is perfectly even on mana costs with both supports spending 135 mana.

Now we also have to take into account that because Sona's Q outranges Lulu's E Sona can more easily poke Lulu for free. If Lulu chooses to shield against this harass she will be expending more mana than Sona 80 to 55.

Now since you mentioned Lulu's auto attack you would be talking about a full on trade.

Sona would do 100 damage with her Q (200 if it also hits Lulu's ADC), and additional 40 with her Q passive (80 if her ADC gets in on it) and 49 damage with her powercord. Lulu would do 140 damage with her E which will be substracted by 35 from Sona's heal while also healing 35 from whatever damage her ADC may have taken from then. She will also mitigate 30 damage from Lulu's future Q while also shielding her ADC from 30 future damage. Lulu will deal 27 damage per auto attack assuming the bolts don't get blocked by minions.

Ultimately this adds up to Lulu doing 155 damage total from E-Q (205 if her Q hits Sona's ADC) while Sona brings out 100 damage from her Q (200 if it also hits Lulu's ADC) with 80 additional damage from her Q passive and 49 damage from power chord, adding up to 229 (329) contributed damage.

In the most ideal scenario for both supports it would take Lulu roughly 5 unblocked auto attacks to match Sona's trade.

You have 2 options: you can play a heavy poke lane because Lulu doesn't have as much substain as some other enchanters. Aka, our good old friends the fantastic 4 (Brand Zyra Malzahar Velkoz) or Karma or Zilean

Lulu is strong against disrupters because most of them like Thresh or Blitz don't have substain, allowing you Lulu to be Lulu and harass the crap out of them. However, Alistar with his passif and relic shield, can have enough substain to endure your attacks long enough for an opening.

Lulu loves when the enemy support cannot really fight back, so do NOT pick Soraka or Janna.

Bard is also decent, having poke, substain and playmaking potiential, allowing you to outplay Lulu.

the fantastic 4 (Brand Zyra Malzahar Velkoz)

malzahar gets hard countered by lulu LOLLLLLLLLLLL his minions dies in 1 hit by lulu and he loses 2v2

they all loses 2v2 against lulu, she has as much range as they do and a shield against poke, with a stronger 2v2 and better teamfight utility than they do

Late game yes once she has Redemption and Locket in her pocket, there's nothing he can do. But early game he has the upperhand (especially at level 6).

they all loses 2v2 against lulu, she also has more range and a shield against poke

More range? I think they have equal range except Velkoz who is by far the one with the most range since he's an artillery mage.

Also Lulu's shield is not that powerful, yes it's not Sona's level of shield but it's far from being Karma's or Janna's.

Nop, she kills his W in 1 hit, and once it's on cd malz can't do anything at lvl 6 she's going to kite him as he will be unable to engage unless he flashes

if the adcs goes on malz malz has no issues as lulu will always stops his ult with polymorph

Because it gives on-hit magical damage son, which will make her winning trades

Lulu is the most effective support for saving someone in this meta.

People don't like that and they think that she is not balanced.

However, it is actually the people that she counters are unbalanced. She is the best person against these people.

It literally isn't a problem with her.

janna has been imbalanced since the night of creation of this game

She has no counterplay as a melee as her ult and Q are both instant in melee range But at least she doesn't bully you out of the lane, and this leaves an illusion of being balanced which is why riot never nerfed her in the past year

she needs a rework giving her counterplay

by that logic Zilean Taric TahmKench should all be meta supports thanks to good peel or being a massive cock block for assassins

and yet, they aren't

Lulu is too strong

Zilean is still strong just niche. Taric? He takes too long. Tahm? Melee and his tankiness was nerfed hard.

Big Lincoln2 votes

Zilean's not terrible but if countering burst is the secret formula for being an OP support then he wouldn't still be on the lower end of pick rates

MissingKayo2 votes

Pretty much the only counter he has to burst is ult though. Q-E-Q isn't quick enough nor is it reliable enough to land on an assassin or any other burst champ.

As opposed to Lulu, Q can be used pointblank for a slow, W ruins the assassin altogether instantly, E shields, and R is a huge fuck you.

because players think they have a right to dive the adc from 2x their autoattack range and destroy them in one combo while taking 10% health. People really hate when "killing the adc" has counterplay because boards hates the class that much.

6Sfool1 votes

What I don't like is just how much they counter each other. Assassins can be kept blatantly overtuned just because they would be 100% useless if the enemy picks lulu. I think she needs one less anti-assassin tool (maybe replace it with some form of anti-dps) and assassins need their numbers cut in response.

Athenes Lulu1 votes

I'm a Lulu main and I'm complaining. Hell, half of the complaints come from support mains that have to deal with the bullshit of botlane.

You place E on people for free while they can't do anything in retaliation, and you turn yourself into a full shield bot afterwards. And you get rewarded even though there is not much risk and that you didn't even need to think to pull it off. Totally interactive and fair to play against if I were the enemy team.

Lulu should be vulnerable when her polymorph is down, but apparently that's not the case when her shields, combined with Ardent, statchecks people to victory. Why the hell is this braindead and rewarding playstyle allowed? No wonder why her banrate is so high right now...

Q buffs were a mistake. People should instead learn to manage their mana spammage instead of blindly spamming and begging for buffs.

I thought Lulu was pretty balanced to be honest. I haven't had much trouble against her and I rarely see her in silver level. I too am confused as to why the boards are going nuts about her.
