"The only thing that changed that was TheOddOne jungling him in a tournament."

Nope, it took hole jungle rework for Maokai to become a REALLY viable choice. It had nothing to do with him being new etc.

Personally I don't think Lulu will shine in current meta. Right now most competitive players try to run kill lanes. When you compare her to Alistar, Taric, Leona or Blitz u see that Lulu does not offer nearly as much killing and snowballing potential. It will seriously take some time for the champ to be popular. The meta will have to shift a bit. Riot realised that Corki/Ez/Graves are a bit overused and maybe after some other nerfs to them (or buffs to other carries) the meta will shift again and Lulu will be picked more often. Although I must say we should not expect that change soon. Riot has just nerfed Janna to the ground to stop 'protect Kog Maw for win' strategy. They will think twice before strengthening supports that focus on protecting carries rather than assisting them in kills.
