A new guide!

Why Help, Pix! first? I know it's a decently strong shield, but it also becomes really expensive in mana cost, and it's main utility is putting Pix onto an ally. I dunno, I would think one point early on would be fine. I can understand leveling it up for the nuke, but that makes it very mana costly.

If you want poke and harassment, I would level up Glitterlance. I also would suggest getting it to rank 2 or 3 early on, to help your jungler gank. What are your thoughts on maxing Whimsy first? I personally find Lulu to be a very agressive support, and turning someone into a squirrel for 2.5 seconds is pretty powerful.

I don't think Wealth is worth it. Sure, you can get one more Mana Potion at the start, but I tend to go Faerie Charm 3x Sight Wards and 2x Health Potions. It works pretty well for me. Also, as a support, you aren't getting any/much CS, so you don't get as much experience from killing creeps. Thus, I prefer Awareness .

Morello's Evil Tome? I guess it can work with the CDR, but I prefer either upgrading Heart of Gold into Randuin's Omen, or getting a Frozen Heart. As a support, your focus is not really damage, it's utility and crowd control. Thus, being able to tank damage as well makes you extremely useful.

I really like taking Kage's Lucky Pick after my boots and other 2 GP/10 items. It makes the gold flow really well. You sell it later obviously.

Heal is better than Ignite on any support in my opinion. Since it's buff, it's quite powerful, and it's extremely useful on supports like Janna and Lulu who have no heals other than their ults.

In your runes section you list Greater Mark of Desolation as the marks you use, when you in fact use Greater Mark of Magic Penetration.

9/0/21 is useable, I just like going 0/9/21 for the points in Durability and Veteran's Scars . Personal preference.

Waiting until after your tank has initiated into a fight to use Wild Growth can turn the tide of the fight, as it means everybody on the other team is knocked up and slowed. Wild Growth heals an ally if they are below 100% health.

Boots of Mobility are always an option on supports, as they are the most likely to roam. I pick them up fairly often when I'm doing well, as it allows me to help my allies and get to objectives faster.

Rylai's Crystal Scepter only applies on spell damage, so it doesn't apply on Whimsy. It only applies on Glitterlance, which is multi target so it's only 15% slow, while it already gives an 80% slow, and Help, Pix!, which is mainly used for shielding. It's not really worth it, and I think Rod of Ages would be a better pick if you wanted bulkiness, as it gives you AP, a ton of health, and quite a bit of mana.

Again, Randuin's Omen is another viable option in my opinion.

I think that's all I have, good luck on the rest of your guide!

Before starting, I must note I have not quite gotten to the point where I think I fully understand Lulu. Anyhow:

+ Tips and Tricks near abilities is always good!
+ Looks pretty good

- Probably better to start with Faerie Charm, Sight Ward x2 and Vision Ward. Pretty standard on any support.
- I find Locket of the Iron Solari pretty... meh.
- Use columns in your Summoner Spell section! :)
- Items + masteries = 45 % CDR. I recommend taking the 9 points from the Offense tree, and putting them into the Defense tree.
- Other item options: Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart, Abyssal Scepter, Rod of Ages, Rabadon's Deathcap, Banshee's Veil, Ninja Tabi.
- I am unsure about the skill order, so I will not give any tips on that.
- Awareness is a pretty good mastery for supports. I recommend taking it.
- How about adding some info about AP Lulu, AD Lulu and jungle Lulu? Try to be as complete as possible in guides :)

So far my tips, over to my ratings:

Appearance: 7/10
Cheat Sheet: 6/10
Contents: 6/10

Leaving you with an overall mark of a 6,3! Congrats with your upvote, and good luck with improving your guide (as you said, it is still under construction). Please, don't hesitate to ask for a re-review later ^^

^ That's what i need, feedback!


Why Help, Pix! first? I know it's a decently strong shield, but it also becomes really expensive in mana cost, and it's main utility is putting Pix onto an ally. I dunno, I would think one point early on would be fine. I can understand leveling it up for the nuke, but that makes it very mana costly.

I know this spell is very mana costly but the fact you can use it in a defensive/ofensive situation makes it really nice, if you wont spam this ability you wont notice any mana problems and if you notice them, just drink a Mana Potion. I just prefer having a shield with me which blocks some decent damage instead of a slow which takes 1 second longer then usual. Also dont forget the vision it gives, makes killing people much easier because your carry can actually see them running away in bushes. Glitterlance also has really high damage @ level 1 which makes it even hit hard without maxing it out first which is also a reason im not maxing this spell first. About Whimsy: I don't really think its the best skill to max out first because I feel useless early game when i cant deal damage at all + I prefer having a shield with 260 health instead of a shield having 60 health by level 9. Whimsys duration is also already pretty long @ level 1.



I don't think Wealth is worth it. Sure, you can get one more Mana Potion at the start, but I tend to go Faerie Charm 3x Sight Wards and 2x Health Potions. It works pretty well for me. Also, as a support, you aren't getting any/much CS, so you don't get as much experience from killing creeps. Thus, I prefer Awareness .

I agree with this. Im gonna change it and take those 2 points out and put them in [[awareness].



Morello's Evil Tome? I guess it can work with the CDR, but I prefer either upgrading Heart of Gold into Randuin's Omen, or getting a Frozen Heart. As a support, your focus is not really damage, it's utility and crowd control. Thus, being able to tank damage as well makes you extremely useful.

You are right about supports need to focus on utility and crowd control, the cdr on Morello's Evil Tome will help you alot with that (more shields, more squirrels, more movement speed, more heals with ulti etc). Also I like to keep my Heart of Gold as long as possible in my deck to gain ALOT of gold by just doing nothing and i prefer having Randuin's Omen on tanks instead of supports. Frozen Heart is a good idea and i will put this item in the alternative items for sure, thanks!



I really like taking Kage's Lucky Pick after my boots and other 2 GP/10 items. It makes the gold flow really well. You sell it later obviously.

I'll put this in the situational items ;)



Heal is better than Ignite on any support in my opinion. Since it's buff, it's quite powerful, and it's extremely useful on supports like Janna and Lulu who have no heals other than their ults.

I actually didn't notice this spell sitting in the decent options.. Thanks for pointing that out.



In your runes section you list Greater Mark of Desolation as the marks you use, when you in fact use Greater Mark of Magic Penetration.

This is pretty awkward.. gonna change that now ;3 Also thanks for pointing that out!



9/0/21 is useable, I just like going 0/9/21 for the points in Durability and Veteran's Scars . Personal preference.

I might change that, first wanna test it out though.



Waiting until after your tank has initiated into a fight to use Wild Growth can turn the tide of the fight, as it means everybody on the other team is knocked up and slowed. Wild Growth heals an ally if they are below 100% health.

Are you telling me i should put this in the tips/tricks section of this skill, because i will.



Boots of Mobility are always an option on supports, as they are the most likely to roam. I pick them up fairly often when I'm doing well, as it allows me to help my allies and get to objectives faster.

Gonna put it in the alternative items, as i said: Im still testing items out and its not done yet ;P Thanks!



Rylai's Crystal Scepter only applies on spell damage, so it doesn't apply on Whimsy. It only applies on Glitterlance, which is multi target so it's only 15% slow, while it already gives an 80% slow, and Help, Pix!, which is mainly used for shielding. It's not really worth it, and I think Rod of Ages would be a better pick if you wanted bulkiness, as it gives you AP, a ton of health, and quite a bit of mana.

That's the reason i put it in the alternative item section :P I will put the Rod of Ages in the alternative section, thanks AGAIN ;)



Thanks alot for your comment mate and i will surely edit some things in my guide, again: THANKS! ;)

@ IceCreamy, i will be sure i'll ask a re-reviews when done adding all these things. Thanks alot for the feedback!

Already edited some of your points out.
And why adding columns in my spell section? It looks good like this right?:P About the locket of solari, i think its a rather good item giving your teammates a shield of 240 health, its like an aoe heal of 240 x 5 = 1200 which is actually pretty much ;P Gonna add some of your alternative items!


Thank you MissMaw for the sig!

great guide, simply +1

just fix this sentence (cons):
* She has no healing spell which makes it harder to play against haras champions.
into
"she has no healing ability on low cooldown (or no non-ultimate healing ability)....... champions"
