Can we please talk about Lulu ?

At the moment , I think Lulu support is very subpar. She has a consistently low winrate , and she really needs help in the bot lane . Riot , please stop balancing Lulu around midlane. Because you did this in the past , you completely gutted Lulu's support abilities. Theres no reason at all to pick her as a support . I would suggest nerfing her AP ratios , but increasing her base values . This would prevent her from going midlane, and drastically help her out bottom. Thanks for reading !

Lulu is a flex pick that can play all 3 lanes, so of course she isn't going to be "great" in all 3. However, I think she is still a good support. She has great poke, shield, and her ult can save her or the ADC from death.

Thats the point ! They need to stop balancing her around mid and top and help her supporting out. She is a traditional support after all..

Except that her kit is fantastic in any lane.

Which is why her win rate is consistently below 50% ?

No; it's because top lane is currently being eaten by Darius and his ilk, and bot lane she is very skill-dependent.

I really like where she is at the moment. She is a great solo q support because if your ADC sucks, you sell your support items and become the carry.

While she's not exactly one of the stronger supports, she certainly isn't weak at the moment. (With all the nerfs incoming though.. might start changing soon.)

They've stated that they don't want to kick Lulu out of other lanes - just make her less oppressive. Changing base values will make her early game even stronger, so I'm not sure if that's the right fix either. I just hope they can come up with a way to balance Lane-Lulu, while keeping Support Lulu viable as well.

Am I the only person who thinks that Lulu's kit ,ability wise, makes it almost impossible to balance her around being mid or support?

you don't pick mid/top lane Lulu for her awesome late game damage, it's for her utility so lowering her ratios but increasing her bases won't do anything but make her stronger in every lane, it's not like her bases are low either. Lulu's bases are pretty decent and her ratios (outside of her W's) aren't all that high

In no way is Lulu a terrible support. her kit is an aggressive one often relying on coordination between your adc and her in order to maximize damage. Shes meant to trade and leave no space for retaliation. the reason shes not that great in the current meta is to put it simply she hangs her head out there for tanky junglers to come along and take advantage of her aggressive style. Lulus power comes from her utility and punch which is rare in a mage support, no other mage support currently can deal the amounts of consistent safe damage lulu can throw out other than maybe Zyra(Also Annie even though she shouldnt be in bot lane at all.) and shes so soft all it takes is one missed snare and its gg. To say lulu is a weak support tells me you like to play passive which has never been what lulu excels at, she can but she shines as an aggresive harass.
