Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Lulu (12.0% pick rate, 2nd most popular out of 52 Support champions) versus Leona (6.5%, 9th place). These two support titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching A+-tier ratings, Lulu struggles with only 48.9% win rate. Leona's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (54.0% win rate) plus optimal itemization Ardent Censer, Shurelya's Battlesong, Moonstone Renewer, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 48.9% to 80.3% - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Lulu's superior warding (1.01 wards/min, 3rd among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Leona leads in both matchup win rate (51.1%) and damage (318 vs 281/min). Lulu must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Lulu maintains better KDA (3.10, 6th place vs 22nd for Leona), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Leona as Lulu (Support)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Lulu versus Leona matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Lulu deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Leona has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Lulu is superior vision control (ranked 3rd among supports) (versus 4th for Leona), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.5 versus 3.1) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Lulu Support versus Leona Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Lulu player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Leona player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Lulu tips:

  • Glitterlance can be fired at odd angles depending on where your cursor is - Moving your cursor closer to Pix and Lulu will change your area of effect size considerably.
  • Consider casting Help, Pix! on ranged attackers for the Pix boost and Wild Growth on Tanks or Fighters for the added initiation power.

Playing Against Leona

  • When Leona activates Eclipse, you have three seconds to get away from her before she deals damage.
  • Only foes in the center of Solar Flare get stunned, so you can often avoid this if you're quick.
