I feel like no matter how how much they nerf her, she's been pick or ban almost every year. Is Lulu really that great?

because she exceptionally protects someone who deals a lot of damage for your team, and in doing so allows them to put out tons of damages. get kills, clean up, and win the fight.

She singlehandedly enables Juggermaw and Olaf comps.

She is that great because she has, if I'm not mistaken, more utility than any other champ in the game on top of doing good damage and having great scaling.

More utility than everyone? No. Bard wins that award.

Having good damage and scaling to go with high utility and flexibility? Yes, unfortunately Bard doesn't compete here.

Lulu's kit is essentially 6 spells, 5 of which have utility aspects while the sixth interacts with one of her other spells. Her kit can do almost anything well. She can disengage, peel, burst, cc, engage and poke. As long as she can't be shut down easily by coordinated teams, she will be viable in competitive play

Thresh also has a ton of utility as well. Lulu may be in the top tiers when it comes to sheer utility, but she isn't the most utility (that definition is also debateable.)

She's really strong in team play because of her ability to kite everything.

yes, she is. She has one off the savest and strongest lanes, with no bad matchup. She can work in almost any comp. She can stay relevant even with lower gold She can snowball rather good with how much pickpotetial her speeboost+cc offer, while her defensive scaleings mean a team with a snowballing lulu rarly dies, makeing combacks vs her rather hard

The only thing she doesn't offer os high damage later on, she's pretty dependend on enableing her team, so if you can't rely on your teamates to make good use off all your supporting power, you might run into troubles. And despite that, she'S my goto sololaner in soloQ....

Utility is golden in pro teams.

Lulu's kit is layers upon layers of utility.

No, Hyper Carries are.

But she is really safe and provides lots of utility to her team.

Taking her out practically removes the option of the juggerMaw comp, and she's probably the most flexible flex pick which makes counterpicking more difficult. That's how I see it.

AMYS GRAVE1 votes

strong flex pick with a lot of utility fits into any team comp.

Her and morgana are utter cancer imo.

Nobody asked for your opinion on which champion gives a disease to the body. http://www.ellohime.tv/data/attachments/0/29-9f8f03df60fc202f468f87a488e6cc85.jpg

The man wanted to know why the champion is picked and banned so much over the years, regardless of her nerfs.

And i explained, because her kit like morgana is just that good/cancer.

Well if you play a team 5v5 on chat, you will know what wonders she can make.

super save&strong lane, enables juggernauts and ADCs alike....

Her ultimate turns any squishy with bruiser levels of defense for a couple of seconds because of its health boost and knock-up.

Baunjo1 votes

Yeah she is really a jack of all trades, or atleast VERY good at peeling.

LithiumWednesday1 votes

She has utility comparable to Thresh (although focused more on peel)

Bronzoid1 votes

She's broken. She is good in every team comp and wins every lane. She needs massive gutting.

RyzeRework1 votes

shes good with cordination in solo que its really choatic so its hard to use her fully but when 5 people have communication then that turns a okay champin to a great champion

Works Top/Bot - Flex pick

Wins 99% of lanes.

Strong mid-game and works in protect your ADC/buff your Juggernaut compositions.

She's also a great anti-assassin.

So she works in almost every meta, ADC centric, Top Centric, Assassin Centric. One of the few instant-CC buttons left in the game.

RisenDarkKnight1 votes

She can speed up and kite the juggernauts really well or protect her adc well or polymorph the enemy assasin, and she handles 2 v 1 lane swaps well. She just offers a ton of utility.
