AD Lulu - No this is not a troll request!

[Jolle]

So I've been playing lulu alot, AP only tho. And im getting in on the AD Part, "thinking" she could be a beast AD carry"(have yet to find a game where I could play her as AD)".

 

So far my thoughts are going with shit tons of Attack speed and some Magic & AD damaging items. (Kinda like Kog'Maw)

 

Any thought on what I should build or not?

She may be an ap but in ranked you're going to want to play support

 

She's a support. And a good one at that. If you play her as an attack speed or anything like that in ranked games you will get wrecked. I'm just saying, she's one of the better supports at this time depending on team composition.

You know she isn't an ap right?

 

My consistent 10-2-12 or 9-3-11 scores beg to differ. She plays AP mid very well. Great poke, decent get away/distance closer ability, and late game utility that scales well with AP.

 

As far as AD Lulu... don't do it. There's honestly nothing in her kit that lends to playing her as an AD carry other than an attack proc that has no AP OR AD scaling and applies magic damage anyway. It's just not worth the time...

I already fixed it laz. She has good cc but her strength when she gets nerfed is going to be focused around support, like riot intended.

Lulu is not a carry. Playing her like one is just going to be a gimmicky thing that people try to justify until they realize she gets shit on by the standard AP mid carries.

 

In regard to playing her as an AD carry, you honestly have to think about the matchups you'd be playing against. Ashe, Caitlyn, Ezreal, Corki, Kog Maw, etc. Doesn't sound like she would scale well considering her spells don't scale off of AD items whereas those all do.
