Lulu is the new Poppy

LdCwrGm1vv··56 votes·5,192 views

http://i.imgur.com/U9mH2kb.jpg Poppy became pretty. Now Lulu is the only one yordle girl with "ugly" face. Don't take it seriously. Her face is not ugly. She's still a cute little smurf. But compared to Tristana and Poppy she looks derpy. The SG Skin's face looks more human. But not everybody has money for 1350 RP. :/

Lulu needs a VGU

Just like Udyr, the VGU is behind a paywall (Star guardian)

Star Guardian Udyr?!?!

There's plenty of other Lulu skins that fix it, and at least it isn't an Ultimate skin that you need to buy for a visual update. Besides, you don't see her face too often in-game, it's usually shadowed by her hat.

Artic Ops is pretty much an updated model of keenen that is white.

At least he doesn't have those dead, soulless eyes he used to. The texture pass did wonders for him.

Just a VU

Agreed, but they're not doing just VUs anymore :(

Lulu is just fine gameplay wise though

yeah point clicking people with multiple soft and hard cc makes for some really good gameplay, it's really fun, interactive and has tons of counterplay.

not.

Lulu is in the top 10 worst - most obnoxious champion designs for sure. she needs a big fat gameplay update, after the likes of Kayle, Pantheon & co get theirs.

Clementine3 votes

She's fun to play (to me). Not all 136 champions need to be "interactive" or flashy. There isn't enough room for that. Maybe try finding another game.

if riot releases a champion with one single spell that deals 9999 damage tomorrow, some people like you might still find it fun to play and what not, that doesn't make the spell less dumb or unfair to play against

PvP is an exchange of actions between 2 players, just like tennis or baseball, I throw the ball, you catch it and throw it back- repeat until one of us fails, if you are the only one throwing the ball, it's not very fun for either of us

point & click crowd control is just that, you are throwing the ball in my face and I'm not allowed or given the chance to try to catch it, not fun, give it a delay or some form of skill shot or ground effect? now I can interact with that ball and try to catch it (or here avoid it) and throw it back (here cast my own spells) at you, there is an exchange happening where both players get to act proactively and reactively, fun.

that's the spirit, pvp is an exchange, it has to be fun fair and fulfilling for both players involved, just like in a relation, you are kind of selfish and close minded if you only think and act for yourself and not your significant other.

So point and click CC is unfair?

Well, time to rework Alistar Annie Braum Fiddlesticks Karma Kennen Leona Lissandra Malzahar Maokai Morgana Nasus Nautilus Pantheon Poppy Quinn Rammus Renekton Riven Ryze Singed Skarner TahmKench TwistedFate Udyr Urgot Vi Volibear

Plenty of champs have point and click crowd control, it's always been there. Just because you don't like it and won't buy item 3140 doesn't make it a problem.

To be fair, some of those you listed are situational. Alistar is a displacement that also displaces himself. Annie requires stacks to take effect. Braum requires stacks on enemies to take effect. Fiddlesticks you got me here. Outdated design. Karma Is a delayed tether, not even point and click, shouldn't be on list. Kennen requires stacks on enemies to take effect. Leona 1 second melee range stun is pretty fair imo. Lissandra it's on her ultimate. Malzahar this is aids to go against, but i'm unbiased. On ultimate so it's k. Maokai delayed root. Displaces himself, can be bad. Morgana tether, wrong list. Nasus soft CC. You can still fight back. Nautilus on his ultimate, has slow travel time. Pantheon can't argue with you here, but it displaces himself. Poppy situational, requires wall. Quinn idk much about Quinn, but her CC is the least of her problems. Rammus short ranged taunt. Renekton melee stun. Riven not point click, it's short ranged AOE stun. Ryze root lasts .75 seconds, empowered 2 seconds requires setup. Singed melee ranged displacement ability. Skarner very frustrating to play against, but it's ult. TahmKench requires setup. TwistedFate requires cycling through cards, unless blindly pick top of deck. Udyr melee stun. Urgot instant suppression on ult, but can put himself in bad position. Vi hate this champion, but ult has travel time. Volibear melee ranged displacement ability. Lulu 2.5 second ranged polymorph, where you are slowed and cannot cast spells or attack. Nobody thinks it's fun to play against this, unless said person actually plays Lulu. I agree with you that her kit's fine. It's up to date and all that, unlike Pantheon. But like Pantheon, she's not fun to oppose in a lane. I don't praise a Lulu player if I get beat by one, just like Panth. I don't think at the start of the game "Oh gee, Pantheon! This is going to be a true test of skill between two players!". No, I just try not to get point and clicked to death. Lulu's ranged point and click CC is more frustrating than many of your listed examples, as she does not require any setup to use it, nor does it take up a large budget in her kit.

I'm sure she's fun to play as. And I'm not saying that she's overpowered, skillshot abilities are balanced accordingly to have stronger effects if they land.

Your bias is pretty incredible lol

Danjeng1 votes

How am I biased? It would be biased if I said that all point and click CC are bad. I did the opposite by presenting a side that shows their weaknesses. Let me repeat that I do not think Lulu needs a VGU, and that her kit is just fine. I really don't mind Lulu much at all. I'm agreeing with you for chrissake.

But I think rather that you are biased. You play Lulu after all. As a non-Lulu player I say that her polymorph is on the more oppressive half of point and click CC that exists. This is because hers requires little setup to use. A good counterargument however is that the afflicted target can still move around, though at reduced movement speed.

Once again, I don't really give much thought about Lulu. I never ban her, and her kit isn't badly designed, though it's somewhat boring and interactive imo. You can say that a lot of champions from Lulu's era are interactive though.

can I just step up to darjeeling's defense a "couple" months late and say as a lulu main even I think it's a bit much and is holding the rest of her abilities back from having true synnergy? no I don't think any enemy anyone trying to kill my carry with my 50-60% point and click hard cc uptime with soft cc to pad out the in betweens is fun to play against.

Riot has been reworking point and click crowd control for years (taric, sion, soraka, kassadin, leblanc, evelynn..), tuning down some others by like half (rammus, alistar..) as well as giving new champions pretty much none of it (gnar, sion, camille, rakan...), all the champions you listed are either as bad as lulu and will get reworked too (pantheon, fiddlesticks, urgot, quinn, twisted fate, rammus..), or have more conditional crowd control that require specific conditions to be met on top of being melee (morgana R has a 3 seconds delay and can be escaped, poppy E requires a wall, braum needs to auto attack and has a delay of 4 consecutives auto attacks.. etc etc..), none of it is as bad as lulu instant, unavoidable, spammable, ranged cc.

I'm sorry you don't seem to understand how those effects really hurt the gameplay and are really bad for the game, thankfully riot does hah.

Clementine1 votes

thankfully riot does hah.

Well Lulu is still here and no changes are planned. You can cry all you want but most people, and Riot, seem to disagree. So your opinion doesn't mean very much. Also, Lulu has one point and click CC ability that has a cast and travel time that can be blocked.

cocacolalips1 votes

all champions are on riot list, it's just a matter of priorities, I said she was top 10, not that she was next hah, the next reworks are urgot, evelynn, morgana and kayle, then probably pantheon, also irelia and the likes of rammus and malphite who were super high on the list I don't remember it all then comes lulu and the likes and all the problematic champions in competitive play, azir, leblanc, ryze... don't worry, she won't see changes any time soon, at least one year or two to go, you can sleep just fine.

Point and clicking people for hard CC that bypasses CC immunity and forcibly ends Sion's ult makes for really good gameplay.

Terozu1 votes

She really just needs her model updated, it wouldn't require a splash change or anything. shrugs

Newerthian3 votes

I think her gameplay if fine but maybe it's cause I enjoy it. I do think a VU would be nice but then again I got plenty of her skins that I don't play with the default skin.

Fairyfleur1 votes

Lulu is fine gameplay wise.

AbiwonKenabi5 votes

Her hat is so big, you rarely see her face.

Though, they really could make a simple model update to fix this, seeing as they already fixed this problem on her Dragon Trainer and any skin newer than that. As someone who owns all her skins and occasionally likes to turn people into cupcakes or kitty cats, I wish some passionate Rioter would commit a little bit of time to making Lulu not have dumpy face in half her skins.

She needs a VU update. Both model and spells need to appear and look more up to date with League.
