She's under played because her kit is too diluted. She can poke, shield, set up a kill, and gank. If she could do all of them well, she'd be overpowered.

Imagine if Soraka could heal like today but poke like Nidalee with Taric's stun and Yi's highlander. That's sort of the position Lulu is in but with a much toned down version. Most supports can do 2 niches in bot lane. She can do all 3 and then also jungle.

One way to balance her would be to nerf one of her niches and then buff the other two. For example, nerf the damage of all ranks on her E but then increase the shield portion by a large margin. She pokes less but can shield better and still set-up kills with W.

Or, we could tack some damage on W, get rid of the shield completely, add a small AS buff to using E on an ally and then boost the damage of E a bit to reinforce her role as poking and setting up a gank while taking away the ability to shield.

OR, we could increase the cooldown and lower the duration of offensive W at earlier ranks and boost both the offensive and defensive portions of E so that she can't set-up a kill or gank as well, but she can now shield and poke more.
