Why the absolute fuck are we allowing Lulu to have a 2.25s point and click Cc that destroys every single champion in the game making them helpless?

Because LuLu wont have any other CC then? Janna has 2 aoe knock ups and Soraka has aoe silence and ability to heal her entire team.

Lulu can only save one of her teammates and doesnt provide as much as other supports do, so allowing her to have a strong single target cc is imo no problem.

LUL her Q slows for 80% that's some hard CC itself, her ult also knocks nearby enemies a short distance...

With good teamwork, which ever side lulu is on she will win most of the time unless the team is full of apes.

Cmon stop pretending that that is all she has, her ult is ever more ridicolous too. This game always talks about skill expression or counterplay for champions. For assassins now its delays, for mages is skill shots, for jugg's its kitting. For some supports they have skill shots and lots of skill expression like, thresh. But other then that especially the enchanters they literally take no skill for the power they have. It is so easy to point click heal,shield, or for lulu's case cc too. It doesnt make sense, it supports want this lvl of impact they have to work for it they have to use skill. It really is not hard to play soraka anymore because its just get ardent and save everyone with one ult.

There has been no skill expression reward for a long time. Riot hates champ mechanics because it is hard to balance. If a champ can 1v5 when mastered and cannot even 1v1 when played bad, riot consider that a broken mechanic. Either riot needs to buff other champ like the champ, or just rework the champ so that anybody can play it. Ofc, if the champ who used to 1v5 became easier to play, the champ will get instant.

Riot has been doing this type of balancing for a very long time, since the Ahri rework.

Part of it is probably because she can't destroy said champ herself. The only way to make the best use of said CC is to coordinate with a teammate. Another part of it would be tendency's affect on the duration. (As it's not a knockup, or suppress) But I'm guessing Merc treds are not an option for you. (Out of some obligation to build glass cannon)

The other interesting thing about that ability is that it's a dual cast. That ability has 2 different effects whether cast on an ally or enemy. (Her E is also dual cast) In a way, that's part of the counterplay, having an opportunity cost between different applications of the same ability. But that would also make it difficult to change. How do you code an ability who's ability changes depending who gets hit, except as a point and click?
