Lux Abilities Miss or do 0 Dmg

dr0wsydruid··2 votes·686 views

On multiple occasions, i and my teammates have seen my ability casts completely ignore champions, or make clear contact and do 0 damage. My snare and ult especially--i definitely fire, definitely hit, and its like nothing happened. It happens way too often for it to be cheating from the other team. Its likely a problem with the hitboxes.

I doubt that's the case. It's probably because the enemy either has Maw or malmortius/ Edge of the night/ Banshee.

I checked their builds, and nothing in them would have been able to fully stop my ult damage or cause my abilities to not affect them at ALL.

doubt it, otherwise lux wouldn't be so overpowered and easily snowballed, likely something on your end or someone is abusing a third party software

Lux overpowered? Oh I love this argument

Lux's 46% winrate would like to have a word with you because this bitch gets outclassed by almost any other midlane mage.

Syndra? Better Viktor? Better Ori? Better

Lux has range and long range burst except Assassin's with any dash can close that distance easily and kill her with ease.

Lux as a whole is not overpowered, but she falls in a small category where she is very strong in low elo and the higher you get the worse she gets. The complaint that she is not good because distance closing champs can get her easily make no sense because that is how she was designed. Her trade off for long range spells, longer cool downs and high burst is that she is one of the least mobile characters in the game.

P.S. http://champion.gg/statistics/#?sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend&roleSort=&search= This is a link to the stats of all characters compared to each other per role. I just wanted to make sure you know that Lux has almost a 49% win rate in mid and only a 46% win rate as support, which is understandable since she is designed as a hyper carry character so giving up farm and kills on a character where even the game suggests you build Mejai's is probably not the best. Also, Viktor's win rate is 46%, which is lower then Lux on top of being both close range and immobile, which by your stands is worse then Lux even though you say he is better.

I suppose I should keep up with statistics.

But from my point of view, Viktor still outbeats Lux in utility and teamfight potential as well in laning even though Lux has her very oppressive low CD ult, although her damage is cut if she can't hit her skillshots considering she's 100% skillshot reliant unlike the other mages I listed. They can have a solid damage output without having to hit skillshots, and Lux has one of the slowest moving skillshots which makes it hard to hit in lane to actually get a full combo off, which is where other mages beat Lux even though she may have a higher winrate.

I got hit with a lux ult once it did no damage but applied her passive, no other abilities hit me. Odd.

To my knowledge there is no third party software that makes you just unable to be hit by something, only dodge it with a script, so if you say it go in their hitbox then it was not a script either. The problem is most likely hit boxes, but not that they are broken, but probably more that you do not know where they are. The hit box of a champion is almost a circle around the feet, legs and lower back of a champ to account for the angle of the third person view the player has so if something is "always missing" typically aiming slightly lower will help. NOTE: this is not to say some hit boxes are not bugged and are in the process of trying to be fixed. There are also items that could negate your damage all together (i.e. Maw passive can pop and block the damage, Banshee/Edge of Night Shield negate a spell and then there are Spell shields like Sivir and Nocturn who can negate one spell that its or Morgana that blocks magic damage and cc as long as it is on).

The hit boxes for Lux have been bug-y for a while, so I can see that being the case. I'll definitely try aiming differently, though! As I said to someone else in a reply, I check the build of who I tried to ult or attack after I notice the ability does no damage--I see no point in being bothered if it's because of an item. It just bothers me because it seems like a game mechanic issue. It's happened recently with Anivia, and with MF--who to my knowledge don't have passives or shields to block something like Lux's ult? Either way, i'll try aiming differently--thanks for your help!
