Heavy Lulu Nerf, What Now?

Patch 8.12 delivered a heavy blow to all the shield supports, especially Lulu. Since 2 patches has passed and she hasn’t received a compensation buff, I do not except anything ’til a long time further. I am fully aware of the fact that I only have to ”time” the shield better, but still, the nerfs hurt really bad. So my question is: what now? Is there ANYTHING I could do to make her playstyle more useful? Different builds? Different maxing orders? Any advice? I’ve heard from a post that 3 points in Q and then max W, is the way to go. Others say that maxing E as usual is crucial, because now you need your shield more than ever! Some people take Athene’s first item, since Redemption or Ardent Censer simply isn’t worth it anylonger. Yet most people go the good old build path and don’t mind the low-ass winrates. So, can someone with experience gimme some advice? (everything is fine except: ”abandon Lulu and wait ’til Riot buffs her even though it’s never going to happen”) Faithfully, An Ambitious Silver Support Main
