Playing against Lulu

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Lulu makes engages difficult with polymorph and R — bait out W before diving her ADC.

2

Her polymorph is single-use: if she uses W on an ally (speed), she can't polymorph an enemy during the cooldown.

3

Focus Lulu in teamfights if possible: without her peel, the enemy ADC is much more vulnerable.

4

Assassins must bait out polymorph (W) and R before committing: dive in two stages.
