I'm really tired of Lux

I mean her ult has a shorter cooldown then some champions main abilities..

Maybe xerath is undertuned or weak when compared to lux? But I remember a time when xerath was obnoxious , hence his nerfs , and his current state. So what do we buff him to make him like lux ? He will be obnoxious again? But he will be on par with lux. That means only one thing. Lux is obnoxious in her current state . Period. Maybe if u tone her down a bit xerath a popularity might go up a bit, because people won't be like I wanna play a safe long range Mage : who do I play lux or xerath ? Why on earth would I pick xerath over lux ?

any champ is obnoxious to someone. mostly when theyre strong and youre not playing him.

ahris abilites are easier to land because of her ult.

she can ult in your face for a point blank charm, hit you with q and w and ult back out before the cc runs out. skillshots dont mean a lot if you have a reposition tool that almost guarantees you to hit them.

lux at her strongest was never as strong as ahri when she was op. ahri had actually one of the highest winrates in the game at some point.

her numbers are pretty high right now, but her kit itself is balanced.

If she could cast charm while ulting ... That would be true. But you can use it once she fully dashes. Which makes it easly to telegraph. Same thing is with Le bl W into chain... No sorry but just because you dash near target doesnt make a thin skillshot easy to land

Lux q has way better range and I am pretty sure its wider to. + it hits 2 targets . Also Ahri charm is useless if you dont have few levels in it

Damage wise lux is really strong. For gods sake she can take out a target in a second from 1100 range

Well, Xerath ulti is trash right now because everyone's running high base MS builds. Normally it's mildly good in the hands of a good player. In fact, "fair" is a perfect word to describe that spell outside of this meta: there's plenty of outplay potential on both sides.

the only thing ziggs has is the ulty across the map stacked creepwave clear. god it feels good thoe

Oddly enough, Syndra has the lowest winrate in all of mid lane last i checked, while Lux owns the highest win AND play rate. Clearly Syndra isnt favoured at the moment. You also forget that Lux has far better poke, and provides a shield for her ENTIRE team. Also Lux's damage is basically entirely AOE with her ult and E and even her Q hits two targets. So while Syndra can burst one target, theres nothing stopping Lux from hitting 2 people with a bind, into her E, into her ult, with maybe even an auto or two for her passive.

Mfw Ahri has just as much waveclear as Lux since neither of them can clear waves w/o Luden's.

And the high numbers give her way too much burst which is something she should not excel at.

Also not all mages excel at all those things. Ziggs lacks utility when compared to Lux, so does Xerath. Viktor lacks range and utility when compared to Lux, Ahri lacks wave clear and utility when compared to Lux.

So don't feed me that BS. Most mages don't have more CC and more damage that is bullshit.

Everytime ive mentioned Lux being overloaded, I get downvoted to hell.

I don't think there's a problem with Mejai's (MS).

Dying with a MS is extremely costly for the user. With low stacks, it's a very bad item. This means the item is risky to build in the first place (very important to note), and therefore provides incentive for the opposing team that person down. Whereas if the MS builder had gone a more "standard" build, there's really not much the other team can do to that.

There is meaningful choice in every facet of that item. It's there when you're deciding whether or not to build it, it's there in playing consistently while you have it it, and it's there for your enemies who are playing against it.

Just my opinion. Your opinion certainly isn't without reason.

on paper this all sounds very nice, but in reality the concept of this item only works in abuse cases.

as the one purchasing mejais, you make a decision based on cost effectiveness of the item - nothign else - as its power is based on raw stats.

if the item is not cost effective upon purchase, the only way its not overpowered, youre taking a risk by buying it. if youre already snowballing, that means youre consciously putting yourself behind in gold again and give your opponent, who does buy a more cost efficient item like dcap instead the opportunity to catch up and shut you down, prevent you from further gaining stacks, and making the item worthless. in case of most champions this makes majais far inferior to picking up a big ticket item like deathcap instead and keep snowballing on this item. thats why you never really see anyone actually buying the mejais on a regular basis, even when ahead.

if the item is cost effective upon purchase it would automatically be overpowered, as it outshines any other option. you would get the potential of stacking the item further, while not taking a risk by picking it up. youre already ahead in kills and gold, which makes it more likely for you to contiue snowballing on your weaker opponent, than to get shut down. this is the same reason people right now buy deathcrap instead of mejais when snowballing. but if it is just as cost effective upon purchase, the mejais snowballing is even worse.

and then there are those cases like lux, who can play safe enough to reliably stack the item without putting themselves into too much danger. of course this still depends on the performance of your team to some degree. if you cant at least get some assists, the item will still be useless.

either way, there was never a way for these snowball items to reach a point of balance. right now, mejais is actually a really shitty item except for abuse cases (champions that dont take much risk by picking it up because theyre effective at long range). you can look at how lux snowballs with a mejais and see how the item would turn out if it was halfway decent on anyone else.

mejais is an item that creates two extremes, and thats why its never going to be balanced and should better be removed.
