Why do you nerf Lulu?

Rashidstory·3/9/2016, 12:39:37 AM·2 votes·893 views

Seriously, why would you nerf Lulu?

Your only reason: She shouldn't be played as Mid or Top but as support... .....but look at Lux, still strong as heck and played in the Mid lane SOOOOOO much. ...but look at Nunu, going in the jungle like a boss. ...and many many others.. WHY DONT YOU NERF THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE NO USE?!?!?

Also the meta is forever changing, depending on trends and what works.

If you thinks she pushes too hard, add a nerf to her glitterlance to make it deal less to minions. Nerfing her whimsy, does nothing, and nerfing this with her base speed just makes her slow. You also nerfed everything else she had...until she was nothing..

You basically nerf her so much that she is not especially good at anything, including support. She now ends up where no one uses her... She was a great support with good poke and her whimsy was a great counter..and now everything is sad. So please, someone, please stop nerfing her and give her a reasonable buff. I enjoy playing her as support and she SUCKS compared to what she was before...

EDIT: I know about the Lux thing but she is still strong. That is my argument. They made Lulu go though many nerfs including stupid ones that just make her miserable, like base speed. Also she is a support still, even though she was mid lane. And still, the meta is always changing, so nothing is set in stone. The only reason people hate her is that they don't know how to counter her; many things counter her. Even though Lux did get a nerf, it was weak, and she is still played as mid lane, while Lulu kinda just...went on vacation.

The argument here is the same argument Azir had. She's niche, and general rule, in solo queue, but completely broken in competitive. Another champion who must suffer in solo queue because it's so busted in pros. Don't get me wrong - I agree with it. Riot shouldn't balance around pros, but in these two cases, they HAD to just to keep her from being a consistent pick/ban.

EDIT: The argument you give for Lux is the exact opposite of what you seem to intend. Lux is intended to be predominantly a mid lane champion, but kill lanes are so popular in solo queue that anything with reliable CC or poke is now a support.

Please shut up

She's broken as hell and is a perma pick/ban in competitive play

nerfs justified

Lulu's voice got buffed significantly to the point where her play rate is going to skyrocket. They gotta compensate it in some way so other champs aren't going to be benched too often.

Lux's getting nerfed... Nunu... ehh I dont really see him that much or have I ever been concerned about him. Lulu on the other hand, can be such a PITA. The problem about nerfing/buffing lulu is that she's basically identified as both support and solo laners; can't satisfy either or that easy.

Cz Lux's main role IS mid lane. Her support role was a secondary option.

Nunu isn't as OP as Lulu's versatility in other lanes, so I have no idea why include him.

What, there's a Lulu nerf? That hardly does anything to Lulu support rofl.

If you thinks she pushes too hard, add a nerf to her glitterlance to make it deal less to minions.

I actually would find that a huge buff to her support because it prevents her from "accidentally" taking minions. Something like a 20/15/10/5/0% reduced lane minion damage would sound great. Though that idea will get anyone stabbed with pitchforks because people somehow find Lulu mid/top "fun" to play.

You also nerfed everything else she had...until she was nothing.. You basically nerf her so much that she is not especially good at anything, including support.

Last nerf was in season 4 and I've been playing her fine botlane ever since anyways, so what's wrong sir?

She now ends up where no one uses her...

Still one of the "best" top/midlaners in high elo, and I see them playing like shit on a daily basis. Or just ask good ol' statistics.

She was a great support with good poke and her whimsy was a great counter..and now everything is sad.

Whimsy is still a great counter. If people aren't maxing this before they max E, then I have bad news.

So please, someone, please stop nerfing her and give her a reasonable buff. I enjoy playing her as support and she SUCKS compared to what she was before...

More like just need a good deal of brain and cooperation. You know, like the Jhin level of teamwork. The Azir level of skillfloor, though on Lulu support it's decisive/tactical skillfloor.

The meta may change and favor over things that is not Lulu support, but because of her versatility, she is never truly out of meta. In any form of SoloQ play, no shit, she will be "shit" especially in her support position because of how stupidly team reliant she is. In any form of organized team play, Lulu anywhere is stupidly OP, though she is taken top/mid more in competitive because she is exactly what they want in a solo laner: safe farming, zoning, and just plain ol' poking, while has nothing they want on a support: mass roaming with almost no items.
