A reasonable buff to make Lulu viable again...

Colton147··4 votes·1,283 views

As the title says...

Lulu is currently sitting at a 48%-49% win rate: http://na.op.gg/champion/lulu/statistics/support https://champion.gg/champion/Lulu/Support?

As a level 7 Lulu, it is sad to see that Lulu is trash in a assassin/bruiser meta. Lulu is a champion that is suppose to counter all assassins, so I felt like these buffs are reasonable to make her viable again.

W: Whimsy

Cooldown duration decreased from 16/15/14/13/12 to 12 seconds all ranks

Bonus attack speed/movement buff duration decreased from 3/3.25/3.5/3.75/4 to 2.25/2.5/2.75/3/3.25 seconds

Polymorph duration increased from 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 to 2.25/2.5/2.75/2/3.25 seconds

The reason for the Polymorph duration increase and Whimsy cooldown decrease is to allow Lulu to outplay assassins and to invalidate all assassins trying to kill her ADC, as well as giving her the ability to Perma-Polymorph the enemy - providing her to be more useful in teamfights, eliminating the target and end up becoming a 4v5.

The Bonus attack speed/movement buff duration nerf is a sacrifice for a longer Polymorph and a Perma-Polymorph (with the required Cooldown Reduction), which is possibly a fair trade.

Polymorph is also easily counter-able by a spell shield, summoner 1, or item 3140.

You want to buff the thing that makes her least interactive? Makes sense.

We need lulu polymorph to last 12 seconds actually. I wanna watch the world burn.

you actually want to increase polymorph duration?

THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT that makes me hate using this site.

what the fuck kind of thought process makes you think its her polymorph that needs increasing?

if anything its the one thing stopping riot from buffing her.

rework polymorph and i guarantee she becomes a balanced champ.

Tbh I feel most people who take issue with lulu take issue with polymorph.

She's similar to janna or morgana is that she discourages the enemies from interacting, while she herself still gets to.

While it is easily countered by the 3 solutions you proposed. QSS isn't always optimal (say on an AP champion), almost no one takes cleanse because if you get hit by 1 CC chances are there's followup CC coming. That and it's garbage compared to ignite, barrier, flash or exhaust And that spell shield solution is flawed because a morg can't spell shield 5 people, nor can she react to it (instant cast).

An instant cast basic spell that takes someone out of a fight just isn't healthy. And yes, that does include similar spells like fiddle fear.

If it had a condition like eve charm, or was a projectile I'd be down for buffs. But buffing an anti-fun champion just cos, just can't sympathize with you there, sorry bud

I didn't read it, but 49% win rate is a viable champion
