(I'm not saying you can't, I'm saying I fail at seeing how, so I don't really grasp her laning.) Soraka is really good against lulu in lane, so thats understandable. You can outharass sona but its also harder. Lulu is weak against alot of heal but its still fine because you can just play safer and support ganks way better than them and have much better utility late. It makes for a boring lane but thats how you do it. You can easily outtrade people with lulu, you just have to keep track of CD's and positioning so you dont get allined by like blitz/leona. A few autos and Q, then E and another Q when its off CD does crazy damage and you can cupcake them if they threaten you. | ||

Her Q isn't really slow, it's faster than Howling Gale about the same speed as Zenith Blade and Rocket Grab. Also it can come from two directions in which case it's very difficult to avoid. | ||

Just a straight up practice mode where the start is just a menu where you pick champs, how much gold, which levels, minions on or off and other settings and then allow you to practice match ups at certain stages. If you mess up or just went to reset you just hit reset and go again. I think it would be cool to be able to practice match ups more intensely rather than having to practice MU's in a normal game where if you mess up your permanently behind. So you could practice Kog/Nunu against a kill lane or some of the trickier match ups top and mid. Idk just an idea. Well Blizzard is adding "assuming direct control" to replays so it would be nice if riot did something similar.But I highly doubt it sadly. | ||

In a perfect world they would just have a custom map editor but that is probably a long ways off, if at all. | ||

My experience with Lulu is that she is essentially garbage against any sustain-based support. | ||

Maybe I should just throw my obsession of not Qing through creeps through the window and try to position so that I can E the carry if he wants to auto me, and focus on him. And start with a faerie too, doesn't matter if I don't build philo, I really need flask or faerie so I get some sort of mana sustain, I run oom so fast, while doing so little because of all barely missed Qs. x_x Last game, our team's Swain (with barrier), MF (with barrier), Shen, Sona, Pantheon jungle. Enemy team is Ezreal (building gantlet), AP Nid, Taric, Sejuani, Olaf (with TP). I managed to run oom in at least 2 fights where I had blue buff (either initially, or after I killed a carrier). We had more towers, most drakes (4 to 1 or something like that), more kills (23-17 or along those lines) and still we couldn't make plays because it was SO HARD to engage on them. o_o I couldn't use W because Arcane Shift/Pounce/Artic Assault/Ragnarok/I initiate on Taric. They had a lot of poke and a shitton of cc (Undertow, Gauntlet Ez, Sejuani, Taric) and we couldn't get close enough and poke them otherwise they could easily cc us and then kite us to death through Ez's gauntlet+red buff Qs. We opted to let Shen splitpush anyway and it gave us a naked inhib and a Nash buff, but unless they were pinned to a tower it was really hard to get to them. Then you had the sunfire+warmogs+shurelya+belt on Olaf, sunfire+warmogs+locket+bulwark on Sej, another bulwark+shurelya+sightstone on Taric, SE on Nid... people took so long to kill, and those you could snipe (Nid, Ez) were slippery as hell. Also farming as Swain too hard once the team groups up. :< | ||

Earlier today I was playing against AP nidalee and instead of spears there were wide green clouds. It was fucking terrifying. Her heal made a massive green cloud around the enemy she casted it on too. That, too, was terrifying. But most importantly, I am not used to dodging massive green clouds. sigh. A red posted about this on the LoL forums and the thread started 1 week ago: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3028179 I know that this isn't the first time that this has been a problem. I vaguely remember Mundo cleavers being invisible if he threw them from a position you couldn't see him in or something like that a year or so ago. | ||

At the start of season 3, i remember ppl theorycrafting saying that it was super good, but i've never seen it even once in pro play ever since, am i missing something or is it not very good after all? | ||
