Lulu Discussion Thread

[quote=IceCreamy]So guys, I'd like to start a thread where Lulu can generally be discussed. I played 2 games with her so far, and I must say I am pretty disappointed. I feel that she has options as AD Carry, AP Carry, Support and Jungler but she excels it none of them. Now before I get all the haters on me, I know I played only 2 games with her so probably I just suck with her atm, but I'd like to know how other people play her. Go ahead! :)[/quote]

[quote=Bellpepper]I like her alot, haven't played alot of games yet obviously but she seems nice to me. I mean she just has basically anything: slow, disrupt, move speed up, shield, heal (ultimate heals when below max hp), vision on 1 enemy, knockup. Her Range with [[Glitterlance]] is awesome, due to the fact that you can shoot [[Help, Pix!]] at an enemy just in your range and then fire your lance at a fleeing Enemy behind him, which basically doubles your Range (although that is fairly hard to pull of I have managed it a few times) I play her as kind of an AP Carry with [[Nashor's Tooth]], [[Mercury's Treads]], [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]], [[Will of the Ancients]] and [[Rabadon's Deathcap]]. I'm pretty undecided on the last item, i know it should be something defensive but i really like how [[Wit's End]] looks on her with even more magic dmg (and it DOES have magic resist). Any thoughts on that? I mean the obvious would be something like [[Banshee's Veil]] or [[Guardian Angel]][/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]Well I played some more games, here is what I used as build: [[Ionian Boots of Lucidity]], [[Shurelya's Reverie]], [[Sight Ward]], [[Aegis of the Legion]]. After that come situational items, I have tried [[Chalice of Harmony]], [[Rod of Ages]], [[Will of the Ancients]] and I would like to try out [[Rabadon's Deathcap]] and [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]]. But I am also considering a more tanky last 2 items such as [[Banshee's Veil]] + [[Randuin's Omen]]. In my opinion she does not work as AP Carry because only Q and E deal damage. AD Carry is lousy because it only works well with her passive, but if you use your E on an AD Carry that is solved too. Since I can't jungle for shit, I will probably remain playing her as support.[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka]Rylai's would be pretty wasted on her. Only two of her spells can do damage, they aren't spamable, and one of them already has a better slow. If you want HP and AP, go for [[Rod of Ages]].[/quote]

[quote=animorte][[Nashor's Tooth]] is my favourite item at the moment. I imagine on-hit-effect items being extremely useful here. First off, [[Malady]]. If you are actually playing her as straight support though, just go basic support items. I always try supports as damage at some point, most the time I prefer not support. Mid [[Soraka]]/[[Lulu]] like a boss.[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]Makes me wonder, does Pix apply on-hit effects? :D Also she has a lot of mana trouble. In a teamfight, I usually run out of mana before the teamfight is over, so I am thinking to add [[Rod of Ages]] to my standard build. Final item could be [[Zeke's Herald]] or [[Will of the Ancients]], depending on what the team needs. How about this for an item build: [[Faerie Charm]], [[Philosopher's Stone]], [[Ionian Boots of Lucidity]], [[Rod of Ages]], [[Aegis of the Legion]], [[Shurelya's Reverie]], [[Will of the Ancients]], [[Sight Ward]] OR [[Faerie Charm]], [[Philosopher's Stone]], [[Mercury's Treads]]/[[Ninja Tabi]], [[Rod of Ages]], [[Aegis of the Legion]], [[Shurelya's Reverie]], [[Zeke's Herald]], [[Sight Ward]] Sounds nice to me :)[/quote]

[quote=animorte]I can't make myself run an AP based champion with very little AP, even if it is a support/tank.[/quote]

[quote=Slappiz]Playing as a aggressive support. Skill Q first, E second and just pick 1 point in W at lvl 3.. Cast E on a creep and use Q after, Lulu is the master of poke. Managed to constantly harass the support+AD carry with this combo.. Start with boots, 2nd Philisopher stone and 3rd Rabbadons. Lulu is amazing :D Marks: Magic pen Quints: Flat AP Seals: Gold/10 Glyphs: Mana regen/lvl Masteries: 9/0/21 Flash+Ignite[/quote]

[quote=Dypheus]Imo, she should be iether played like AP Utillity carry (like Zilean), or as a Orianna support who doesnt take aura items but goes for AP stuff. Either way, it takes some time to figure her out, seems viable though.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]Extremely useful. She basically has an AP and AD buff in two different spells. Also has shield and great CC, one that is basically 2.5 second blind+silence. Then she has a giant health buff for anybody. Extremely viable, even top tier, I dare say.[/quote]
