Early game (levels 1–5)

Lulu wins the level 1-2 walk-up cleanly: her Glitterlance slow and long range let her poke Alistar as he tries to close, and he can never reach point-blank W-Q range without eating free damage. His mana bleeds fast walking up into nothing, so he concedes the early lane and plays for scaling.
