Can we nerf Lux

If you look at Lux her stats https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/builds/lux/diamond She is consistently hovering around 53% Winrate. Across ALL elo's

She is an extremely safe flex pick and a simple enough champion to pick up.

Riot Nerfed Ahri for the same reason being a dominant Generalist who's laning phase is Too safe.

Could we please maybe reduce her Late game damage or something? Because Right now she is a No Risk all Reward Champion.

Also idgaf if she is Riots favorite skin seller, so don't bring that shit into the thread.

My only problem with her is that she can stand a mile back through the entire lane phase and still reliably clear waves/secure CS. I've played games(As a Diana 1-trick) where she literally never once came into my Q or R range, staying outside of them farming waves using her abilities any time they were off cooldown - She has very few mana problems, even with spamming her combo(Helps that one skill isn't used to farm.) - She'll stay 100% out of my range the entire lane, and when she DOES get lucky and land a Q it's followed by a damn near instant kill from her E/R combo.

I've played the matchup from both sides, and won it from both sides - It CAN go terribly wrong if Lux doesn't play it well, but that doesn't matter much when compared to the fact that she doesn't ever NEED to take the risk that can make it go wrong.

Sorry buddy, she isn't Zed (shadow ninja bad!!!!1111!!) so no one is gonna admit she's broken. She has stats broken champions tend to have but no one wants to say she's broken here because she's "cute" and she's a mage, meanwhile, if Zed and Yas had the same stats they'd be flipping their shit.

Immobile, skillshot reliant, squishy hmmmmm

She has 4 literal skillshots for her kit and 0 mobility.

Ahri got nerfed because she was a no risk assassin who could opt out of laning against the enemy with Q alone in a bad matchup. Lux is a long distance mage who has to auto to clear waves. Shes supposed to have an opt out at the cost of her harass and mana, ahri isnt.

As a 1-trick Lux from season 3 onward with over 4 million collective mastery points, there is almost nothing regarding the champion that I don't know. And I can tell you: Lux is not in need of a nerf my guy. The issue that brings about the most consistent complainants is that she has such a "safe" and long-range kit are only one sided. I like how people who complain about the champion seem to conveniently leave out that she is 100% skillshot reliant and lacks mobility on top of the lowest base armor stat in the game (next to Kass). Here is the bottom line: if you are going to cry about Lux it is because you are incapable of consistently dodging all linear skillshots, which is a problem with you, not the champion. The only relevant argument that a player can make, within reason, is the hitbox ratios. And that stems from a lot more sources than just Lux. Lux can be easily exploited after missing her Q, regardless of her range. Without her Q there is nothing she can utilize to hold u in place for her all-in, especially against mobile champions. And as it just so happens, most of the S tier champions for mid and ADC have some kind of mobility or gap closer to aid them in said exploitation. Playing around Lux Q is the name of the game alongside patience and proper itemization. Additionally, if your one of those ppl who complain about Lux bc you cant seem to reliably dodge her skillshots, just invest in mercs or Banshee's Veil. Either of those 2 items makes Lux non-existent, alongside death dance (which makes you 1-shot proof).
