Lux' ult is getting a little ridiculous...

LatetotheRace··51 votes·13,316 views

It's Down to 15 seconds~ by the end of the game now... if it's going to have the cooldown of a regular ability, how about we give it the damage of a regular ability. That way she has to land her full combo as it should be.

Not enough, I need to use it 3 times in one fight. I say reduce cooldown to 20/15/10. Keep the cooldown reduction thing as well. Also, up the ratio, she really needs it. Poor thing.

Verbal **Irony **is when words express something contrary to truth or someone says the opposite of what they really feel or mean. Verbal **irony **is often sarcastic.

I suggest just making her 3 other spells Final Spark. That way she would have more oppertunities to make plays.

The funny thing about Lux is that no matter how much they buff her, she is still garbage tier. Almost like her kit is so thrash in current meta that you could make her ult every 5 seconds and it wont change a thing.

They're just gonna keep buffing her then til her ult reaches a 5 second max cooldown.

I mean the company released champion that has dogshit win rate in diamond + but still manages to be 3rd most banned champion in diamond + and they are like, yeah that seems fine, maybe even buff it. Either they are completely clueless(which would explain a lot about current state of the game) or they just dont give a shit. Just tweak the numbers bro fuck design who cares that its not fun to play against if its 50% wr.

Biased opinion here, of course, but Lux currently has an under 50% win rate in both mid AND support, and the ultimate is telegraphed enough for people to move out of the way (unless they're slowed by her E or rooted by her Q).

Personally, I'm having trouble winning with Lux recently, even if I'm playing well. I don't think she needs a nerf at this time.

Her win rate mid lane isn't do with Lux being weak.

Talon, Zed, Leblanc, Fizz are all relevant mid lane.

Champions that can smash her.

Lux Support is a meme and shouldn't be played.

So many supports are just all around better than her.

Lux Support had a higher playrate and winrate after her most recent changes, compared to Midlane. Take that how you will.

You are repying to a Vayne player that just hates Lux because Lux supp shits on Vayne.

.... she does. like why the fuck would anyone ever use Lux ult on a target she hasn't even touched before. Sure you can go for the snipe and once you get good at it it's gonna get you kills (like ezreal, jinx or draven can) but it's so unreliable.

It's also not gonna oneshot you. If she really gets fed she might be able to Q R you at best. Her passive doesn't even proc electrocute anymore.

Still annoying to deal with. Every 15~ seconds a random Lux laser that does a chunk of your HP bar is going to come fly at you.

if she didn't hit her stun on you, you shouldn't get hit by it.

If you get hit by a fed Lux's root ("stun") you're actually going to hell :D

It won't be every 15 seconds unless she invests into full CDR via runes and masteries, has maxed R, AND GETS A KILL WITH IT. So no its not going to be every 15 seconds to chunk your healthbar.

Honestly I should check because I'm not sure if 15 seconds is accurate. The lowest I remember getting was like 25.

LUX DOESN'T EVEN GET PICKED

why are we complaining about a low winrate, low pickrate, low banrate champion?

Lux gets picked and quite a lot, but not where you probably expect - pro play and high elo ranked- she is mainly played in normals and low elo ranked - still a top 10 most popular champ overall (check the datamining sites that also have info about normal games) in the last years with tons of skins released for her. Still, I find the typical Lux mains that go support every game with barrier mentally damaged.

It does have the damage of a "regular ability".

I miss the days when I was even vaguely scared of LUX.

Evil Bisex Plant16 votes

You know what the problem is? Zoe Champions Zoe that Zoe deal Zoe the Zoe same Zoe amount Zoe of Zoe damage Zoe on Zoe their Zoe basic Zoe abilities. That while also having another strengths while Lux's only strength is her burst (and that unreliable shield so does that even count?). For that reason she will never be a better pick than those champions.

Reducing the AP ratio to 50% from 75% should be enough.

Thefrostyviking11 votes

That will not help at all more than ensuring she´ll be useless.

Rather it would make more sense if they raised the CD a lot and also raised the damage a little, to reward good use.

LightIsMyPath4 votes

Except "good use" includes waveclearing so this would kill her

Thefrostyviking1 votes

.....You are not supposed to use ults for waveclear and still have them to fight with x)

Thats pure bull.

If it comes down to that then buffing E damage on minions is the right way.

A fair point x)

But i think mine still stands as far as lux is involved, or at least as far as she gets to have a high damage one at least.

alright thats acceptable

It's 15s if you get the reset.

Also, she has to land her full combo anyways. Lmfao there's no way to land a Lux ult unless the opponent is asleep, you landed a Q or E, or your team already has them CC'd.

LatetotheRace1 votes

reset implies that you even got an assist, keep that in mind.

DuskDaUmbreon2 votes

You got an assist if they die within 1.5 seconds of your ult hitting.

Merely getting an assist isn't enough.

Noor Sakata7 votes

I think this thread belongs to the memes section But if you are serious then here is my reply Lux isn't even good , lol she is one of the weakest mid laners , Her ult is like a basic ability , you can't treat it as an ult , she is a mage that has no dps , only High CD abilities and all of them are easy to dodge , tho her E can be problematic but they nerfed her E

Hong Kong Annie5 votes

I don't really get why it has the reset passive at all. If lux full combos and kills someone the fight is probably already over.

The Highest Noon3 votes

So I wasn't sure what this was referring to until I took a look at the Wiki, and apparently her ult refunds 50% cdr if it kills someone???? Wouldn't the best solution be...to just remove that? rofl

Arakadia1 votes

She is hardly a strong champion nor is she extremely popular. There's no reason to nerf her ONE THING she can do (which is one shot people from afar).

I'd be okay with siphoning power from her ult if you give her other things to do to give her additional balance levers.

This was never a necessary change, and consideringt the power she has on her ult what's wrong with letting it keep the full CD timer when there are literally two synergizing Masteries that lower her ult CD anyway?

Arakadia2 votes

I'm not saying it was a good buff.

I'm saying removing it will make her useless.

Nobody goes inspiration and domination on her. If you seriously think that, and aren't just grasping at straws to pretend runes are in her favor, you don't know much about Lux.

You...didn't know that there is a Rune in Precision that refunds both mana and 10% CD on ults following every kill and assist, did you?

Arakadia1 votes

My mind jumped to the two I mentioned earlier, but I am aware of that rune.

And it is just as ridiculous to pretend Lux would bring Precision.

When i played lux before they removed ultimate hat,

Arcane Comet - Manaflow - whatever i wanted - Scorch - Presence of Mind - Coup De Grace

After one shotting someone, ult was on a 15 sec cd at rank 1. fun.

I go Red and Yellow. Ultimate Hunter + Precence of Mind = 15% Ult CDR reduction + 10% CDR refund with every one-shot

Now her ult has 50% cdr on kills as well? Jesus, man.
