Why it works
- Lulu protects. Her W gives attack and movement speed to an ally (or polymorphs an enemy); her E shields an ally.
- Her R enlarges an ally, gives them extra health and knocks nearby enemies into the air.
- Vayne punishes. Her W deals percentage-of-health damage on the third hit and her E pushes enemies into walls.
- Her Q repositions and empowers the next shot.
Weak points: Aggressive lanes at levels 1-3; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
