why is lu lu considered bad?

i was looking at her tier listing and it was put very low. Her kit seems very strong, and her poly morph is an awesome peeling tool.

Her ult is good too as it can turn a champ into a hyper carry.

so why is it that she is considered trasH?

Because this meta isn't good for Lulu.

ironically in a meta where she should be top tier shes garbage due to the sheer amount of damage being thrown around. even if you time her ult shield and polymorph perfectly whoever youre using it to save is still going to get insta-gibbed. (also like her numbers got hit pretty hard a while back)

Well, she was a monster top and mid at one point, and then she got shoved into the support role again. Too many people got used to playing her as an APC.

Lulu isn't all that great because you used to be able to max Q in lane and be super annoying because her poke damage and range is good, and rank your shield 2nd. Your shield would scale on items and it lasted a long time so it was okay to max it second.

Now though it feels like if you don't max your shield it's really weak, but if you max your shield, then you have really little presence in lane as you can't really trade with Q. If your lane opponents know how to play against you, you just get screwed.

Soraka is a much better pick atm because healers were left mostly untouched. They lost 9% heal and shield power at full build I think, but they weren't gutted case by case like shielded were. Soraka's silence is often better than Lulu's polymorph, Soraka's resources are far more manageable than Lulu's because Soraka's Q with one point in is very useful. Soraka's R heals for more health than Lulu, Soraka synergises well with mikaels. Her heal cooldown is really low compared to Lulu's shield... There's a lot that makes Soraka a far superior pick to Lulu atm.

Lulu is also a champion that synergises with late game hyper carries, and those champions need far more than Lulu's ult and polymorph to keep them alive in a fight nowadays. If I lane with a late game hyper carry I'd rather play buff bot Rakan item 3069 item 3109 item 3050 item 3009 item 3001 item 3193 item 2138 because I know my RW, Q heal and E shields will buy them far more time to deal damage than Lulu could with her abilities, the bonus damage from zekes with abyssal amplification is nice.

It's not impossible to play her but if you don't get a lead early by the enemy players being bad then it's probably going to be a hard game.

Long post but w/e. This is why I don't play Lulu

Because she's not in the cheat engines database. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9rBzKJxbOk

She's had periods if time where she is incredibly strong, right now just isn't one of them. Keep in mind though tier lists are based off of ranked games from platinum and above and hold less relevance in lower divisions/normal games. You can absolutely still win games with Lulu.

I think it's because lots of people play her out of meta, I've seen many Lulu mid's and Lulu Jungles and even a few Lulu Tops. I think as a support she's great, but as anything else, not so much.

She is unbelievably annoying whether she is strong or not.

People consider her as Trash , she isn't , they just quit playing her and went for Brand and other ones to start their circle jerk
