So, anyone playing League of Legends?

Her bubbles are great if you can land them on the adc and support at the same time in the laning phase. Imo she's best with MF if you can sync. the ultimates. I don't see her in games really often though, probably because she's a bit hard to master, like Janna I'd say.

I now finally have enough IP to buy Lulu. Any advice or tip on her?

 

Spam /laugh.

 

Use Q instead of your face to check bushes.
Abuse E + Q combo - it can be 100% safe harass.
Her ult is not a heal, it gives bonus HP so you can use it while ignite is on without losing effectivness.
Watch out while dodging skillshots because Lulu's hitbox is bigger than it looks.
Spam Ctrl+4 all the time.

 

Yeah, she's the best support ever. Best to have the self-cast hotkey somewhere you can easily use because you have 3 spells you often have to cast on yourself. Maxing Q first has a lot of potential damage and range, and it's slow is pretty significant, maxing E first gives you a huge shield and strong point-and-click harass, I'd say 3/4 of times I max Q first but sometimes you just feel the ADC is the kind of person who needs a shield. Every spell lulu has can help against divers that are coming to get your carry, however ulting your own divers makes them a lot more effective. Her W spell is nice to cast on yourself or your carry to get quicker to lane, very rarely though I find the need to cast in on your allies in teamfights, remember even level 1 it's a 1.5 second disable.

Your autoattacks hurt in the laning phase a lot, however the additional bolts can be blocked by and push minions, they're magic damage so even Taric takes it up the ass from Lulu. By the way he's a great push assistant and can push even by herself nicely. I find her damages are strong and I like magic penetration from runes and masteries at least, I think that increases her passive damage, tried MPen items too a couple of times when I was fed, still not worth it. Say. Caitlyn + Lulu, aren't you happy you picked Vayne now bitch. That's always fun, anyway Lulu can go with any ADC I think since she has good damage and a very versatile skillset.

She's a pretty annoying top laner too.

 

You know what pisses me off? The old niche items that riot was so brilliant to get rid off without making viable alternatives in their place. Case in point: Force of Nature which was a good pure tanky item with movespeed (great on singed, ali and brusiers if magic-damage was ever an issue) and executioner's calling (for those annoying fucks that heal like hell when fed mundos, warwicks, xins, irelias, yoricks, akalis, jax etc.).

Although no, executioners calling didn't get removed, nope. They got rid of the lifesteal component making it shittier and didn't introduce an upgrade, so it's even more of waste of an item slot. In the past I could at least justify it by "I need a vamp scepter for lifesteal anyway and given the situation that passive is better than the deeps from a bloodthirster which I would probably build out of it". Now it gives AD and some crit and builds into nothing and takes up a slot, it's like a midgame doran with a passive making it somewhat useful but a liability otherwise. Apparently its better to pray ignite is always up when mundo is derping around on his ult.

And the lack of a movespeed option for singed and the rest pisses me off. What am I supposed to build? Lich Bane? TF (this one works on ali and a few but not singed)? WTF riot? You gave zephyr for ADCs when they still have PD, why not a fucking tanky item to replace the one you deleted?

 

Karma/Riven cookie lane, never forget

 

Yeah, though the new Executioner's is still gold efficient (=haven't built it on anyone unlike the old Executioners) if nothing else, and in place of FotN maybe Twin Shadows which isn't as good but has a good active. Still I don't get why they removed Force of Nature, all champions are supposed to get Warmogs now for health regeneration or something?

 

Quick, better ask The Brazilian Slaughter and see what he thinks about this.

On a serious note, was Nami ever not viable? She just doesn't seem to be as strong a pick as someone like Lulu most of the time.

 

Nami is hypothetically strong if you land her skillshots and your ADC knows how your skills work (especially your E and moving to make the most of ebb & flow). It's jsut that most ADCs don't know how to do that and landing her stun and ult is hit & miss due to the slow particles giving enemies ample time to dodge.

I guess if she laned with a vayne who wallbangs people first or a graves who smokeclouds into aquaeous prison she could do well, but coordination like that is beyond what you can expect in soloQ. I think that with practice, she could be a very stronk pick in a 5man premade and we may see her picked up by a pro team in a tourney if one of them decides to take time to practice her timings.

 

Lulu is the shit. Amazing in poke comps. EZ + Lulu = Mass hilarity unless they're skillshot dodging gods.

I normally prefer the tanky supports Taric/Leona/etc. but Lulu is an amazing counter to those guys so when the enemy team picks up one of those guys, I pick Lulu to satiate my anger.

 

Oh god, Lulu+Ez is a nightmare lane. Fuck chasing that built-in flash faggot when you get slowed or he gets hasted or ulted by the fucking lulu.

Goddamn animu faggot always getting away!

 

Please give me a brief resume of this game.

 

Pick a unique champion to fight a 40-ish minute match requiring smart item purchases and good teamwork.

Naturally there's rage everywhere. The skill ceiling is extremely high due to all the variations possible and yet for a while you derp it out with fellow derps due to your low skill.

Leads to a lot of highlight reel plays. Not a game you get proficient at immediately.

 

3 games with Lulu so far. I lost one with 0-5-8 because the team was kind of meh... our Ez was farming alone bot and he had 15 last hits after 5 minutes... The rest were awesome though. 0-6-21 and 2-1-21 being the game that I've just finished. She's really fun to play and getting assists is very easy. I max Q 1st for the harass. Now besides that guy in one game being a moron. another problem I had was convincing the jungler to get Bullwark. It's usually a must buy on Leona and Taric but when I play squishes, I tend to stay in the back so not evey1 gets the aura all the time.

I'm glad I didn't buy Thresh now. I've had more fun with Lulu in 3 games than how I had with every other support this month.

 

I did get Thresh, so far nothing doing though simply because Thresh is not all that great against some really popular picks. On the flip side he works great with some really strong ADCs. We'll see.

Last 2 times I tried though, I got retarded ADCs. AS only Ashe with Thresh? WTF are you thinking? "We have all the CC we need!" Bitch we have all the CC we need as Thresh, we need DAMAGE. Fuck your slows.

At least Riot makes fun supports nowadays. Lulu and Thresh are as fun as any other lane. We've come a long way form the days of Soraka vs. Janna bottom lanes. It'll be interesting once the Taric nerfs drop. Yhough honestly I don't see it being that significant it'll be nice to see something other than Taric every match.

 

Today I was practicing Leona... I do okay but I swear... nothing is worse than your 8/0/0 fed adc turning out to be an idiot in teamfights who manages to end the game at 8/8/x despite your best efforts to peel for him.

Not a good day...

 

That ASpeed only thing isn't restricted to where you play BTW, what could be better than million zillion crits for 100 per second? Yeah crit chance over 100% why not. I have also seen triforce rush from many, bloodthirsters only, doran blades only, surprisingly many carries build BC for whatever reason, muramanas too...

@ Jasede : was it that the ad carry was a moron or that they just had too numerous and strong divers? It's not fun playing a ranged squishy champion when 3 mucho macho guys beeline for you completely ignoring your pathetic front lines? Because that's the main reason I have mostly avoided playing ad carry.

I don't like Thresh anymore, his ability to stop divers isn't good enough (they're just gonna stand in your dumbass ultimate and kill the carry anyways, at first I thought his skills are great for saving them but pffft try stopping 2 5k hp bruisers with thresh, best of all the other is a fatass who's gonna sit on your lantern so that shit doesn't work either), neither does he have some superb auras. His laning phase is good, that's it. Better stick to Taric, Leona and Lulu. Maybe Lux too, haven't really tested her thoroughly bot lane, I like her gameplay a lot more than I should but I'm not convinced there's a reason to play support Lux instead of Lulu.

7W/2L with Graves, funny, I still hesitate to call ADC because what the heck am I gonna play if somebody else picks Graves? Where's my easy mode then, what am I going to get the headache of micromanaging Draven?

Anyway I'm a hypocrite, I'm playing Lux and ADC. Probably soon I'm playing Teemo top and then I'm telling guys listen, this is the best thing ever I went 10/0 against some clown who thought you can play melee top, hihihihi

 

It's amazing those matches where it turns out the support carried the carry throughout laning. Sometimes the team compositions really fuck you over though. It's not always entirely obvious when you need to be even more aggressive due to the enemy teams late-gameness.

Just finished my first ranked match in months, was stuck bottom lane and we agreed for me to support since they took my best ADC (Draven). So of course I go Lulu! Got rocked laning to an extent. Team kept its head together. We had a pretty awesome poke comp though. Varus/Lulu/Diana/Vi/Nidalee (AKA queen of poke comps). Just poke-poke-poke and then Diana or Vi would ult in, I'd ult them and laugh at having knocked 3 or so enemies airborne. Then we would just wipe up.

Poke comps are honestly the games I've enjoyed most lately. When you get a moment where your team successfully pokes down most of the damage so the enemy team engages at poor timing just to get poked less. It's lovely. Helped that the enemies were completely unable to poke back, and I mean they literally did not have one poke on their team besides Dravens E, which is not useful as a poke in teamfights anyways.

Nunu tried to troll me with /l during laning. I trolled him until he all chat raged thanks to Lulu's glorious /l

 

I've had funny game tonight - I was bot against Syndra and Zilean. Zilean was putting bombs on creeps and Syndra was throwing them at us. It was horrible!
But we won anyway.

 

Indeed.

Heavy armor + big weapon is my thing, bro.

Peasants are fit for toiling on fields, not fighting battles.

Spells are for pussies.

Indeed, I do not.

Seems a pretty interesting concept, too bad I don't have my own computer anymore and also crap internet.

 

Apparently the trick to playing with Syndras balls is to channel the power of emma watson.

Started playing a bit of solo queue games again, so far matches have been radiant and sometimes even outrageous.

 

Sorry bro, I don't speak gook.

 

Loosely translated, the Najin sword jungler says that you should commit seppuku if you don't gank top at least once before lv 6

Anyway. Karma/Fiora bot later? I'm thinking if I max lunge first, it could make for some lulzy shieldbombs. and her passive is better sustain than vi.

 

Fiora is good. You're still technically an AD Carry
