After ruining mid lane, Lux mains are taking her to bot lane too

TeemoXNidalee··6 votes·2,046 views

Why play supports when you can shield your entire team and AOE cc nuke the enemy from 2k range with this shit?

To compensate for their crappy last hitting skill, Lux mains are playing her support now so they just have to spam spells mindlessly during laning phase and 1shot the enemy duo at level 6.

You think morgana's snare is OP? Not when compared to Lux, sure it does more damage by itself, but Lux can hit both laners and follow up from 2k range with no risk.

Why side step when you can walk in a straight line like a bot, right?

You act like lux is this new strong pick for bot lane.... Hit lvl 30 before you go bitching on the boards about weak champs as well.

Right, because fighting a squishy mage with a easy kit that any non brain dead player can easily dodge is extremely difficult to do. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

How do you explain the statistics then? This is Plat+, are you saying they're brain dead players?

Statistics prove nothing pal, every game is diverse with a variety of players, if you cant dodge a skillshot by prediction or reaction then of course its going to make her have a higher win rate. Oh and before i forget; win rate dosent mean anything.

Using your logic: if a champion hold a 100% winrate with a 10k+ game sample, he can be perfectly balanced because that winrate doesn't mean anything lol

**"Statistics prove nothing" ** GENIUS

“Never trust any statistics that you didn't forge yourself.” I think, Riot themselves said, that these winrate-numbers are not always really accurate, and that winrates are also only an indicator, but should not be taken as an absolute. There is another site for winrates, where also shows winrates from up to Bronze, Silver etc. Now, for every tier included (so, everything from Bronze to LCS), the Winrate of Lux is 53,1% http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/middle/bronze/by-winrate

For Platinum+ it is still at 52.5%. For Diamond+ however, it is only 51.7% - number 12 for all midlaners; with several high-popularity picks (Zed, Ahri, TF) above her.

So, question would be: If Lux is indeed so "op", then why goes her winrate down the higher you go in the Elo? Why are Diamand+ Players able, to handle her way better, so her winrate is almost the same as Fizz' and beneath champions like Morgana, Karma, Malzahar and even Zilean (who sits on Nr.3 with 53,5%)?

52% very high for Diamond.

Shortly Lux is op.

Also 20% pick rate for Diamond.

I know that its acutally useless, to talk to you, since you will only answer with "Wow, salty Lux main, defend freelo, shut up" anyway but just in case someone else is reading this: Its 14,3% pickrate, not 20, below Zed and Ahri and slightly above TF. Obviously she has a high pickrate, because she is a good pick - the question, you haven't answered, is, why does Lux goes from "Wow, such a high winrate -OP!" in Bronze+ to "Strong but not broken" in Diamond+? If seh IS indeed so broken, than it should stay at the super high 53+ winrate; but she doesn't, falling down to Nr.12, while Zed is at a almost 54% Winrate. Shouldn't we rather be calling for Zed nerfs then? If a 51,7% Winrate at Diamond+ is "very high" and an indicator für "Shortly Lux OP", then what about Zed, Talon, Twisted Fate and Fizz, who all have a higher/equal winrate and also a high pickrate? (Not naming Ahri, since she got her nerf already anyway)

Standard Lux main.

Yes, 6 Lux games out of ~200 ranked games in season 6 totally makes me a Lux main.

Lux support is almost always a mediocre pick unless it's a great Lux against a not-great bot lane. Vel, Zyra, Brand, and Morg do Lux's job better than Lux and are infinitely better early and more threatening overall.

"assassin mains are assholes who always spam the same excuses"

this entire thread is people mindlessly defending the most broken ap mage in the game and number one most broken mid laner and calling her weak.

This isn't really news. I took Lux to the bot lane a long time ago. Then I got Morgana and haven't really played much of Lux since. Also losing Twin Shadows was a huge blow to my Lux Support, since I don't particularly like building FQC. But since they also removed the MS buff on Nomad's, the Talisman route has been far less appealing. Maybe copy the build I've defaulted to with Lulu/Karma. It should work.

Not really sure why I don't play Lux as much as I used to. I personally feel her "All Damage" refreshing shield is more valuable than Morgana's CC immune shield. Lux + Ardent Censor is a good team shield for seizing objectives and team fights. And while Lux may have a shorter duration snare, it does pass through minions if you know your angles. Her skills aren't as quirky as Lulu's (annoys me to no end when I try to shield an ally and Pixie mark the enemy instead because I tried to click, instead of using portrait) and her poke isn't stopped by minions like Karma's.

I guess the real reason is that I hit level 5 Mastery with her a long time ago and have spent most of the past months leveling other supports. And when it comes to picking level 5 Supports... Sona and Lux take the bench.

she isn't, why play brand when you can pick lux and do the same thing from double the range?

NavyDivea1 votes

Lol the same thing. Not even close. Her damage isn't even close to brands and while her cc is annoying it doesn't even compare to a stun.

Ravenhale1 votes

Agreed. I find Annie Support far more reliable than Lux Support when it comes to CC and damage. Lux has decent support abilities, but nothing really stands out. Single target shield is handled better by Janna and Team shield is done better and more reliably by Karma. Morgana gives a better snare (though single target) and brings a shield that negates CC.

She's just an average pick that gets to be a little more aggressive in the Support role since she has no CS worries.

Lux support is the most cancer thing I've ever seen in the botlane, I've been one shot at jhin by a lux with only 63 ap along with the fact that she was 0/2. Tell me how that is healthy and or fair in any sense, how the support who is supposed to be operating off of less gold does more damage than their adc throughout the entire game??

Attticus Finch1 votes

47% win-rate bot, capping out at a 50% win-rate bot for Lux mains.

Shiver me timbers. She's dominating the meta!

Sona and Zyra are what Lux wants to be when she grows up.
