I'm curious do you guys think Lux is balanced?
I don't think she is, not going to get into why, because people tend to be stubborn to reverse their opinions but I'm curious what you guys think about lux, is she op, underpowered, or balanced?

Balanced, she gets to do a lot of damage, but that is because she is pure skillshot based on top of meph defenses and no mobility.
One of the best balanced examples. Never had issues with Lux, I saw good Lux who owns me and I had a number of Lux whom I owned.
tbh she is balanced her hitboxes can be a trouble sometimes but stats and kit wise, she is balanced
i find her fine, at best if she needed a nerf i would increase the CD of Q by a little at early ranks and make it the same at max rank.
She is balanced. She is jack of all trades (Burst mage/Artillery mage/Support) but master of none like 
(Burst mage/Battle mage/Support). She doesn't have burst of 
, poke of 
or peel of 
but she can do all these things decently.
She's strong at the moment, she's seen pro play as an immobile mage (thanks to Froggen and later Bjergsen), so she's really at the height of her viability
If you dodge her Q or she misses it, she does a lot less damage
I wouldn't say she's stronger than Ahri/Zed for soloq atm though
She does need nerfs but not big nerfs.
53% win rate with around a 9-10% pick rate in both mid and support is alarming.
They should look for around between -1% and -1.5% in terms of winrate.
TBH, you gotta look at what she's capable of.
- Mage/Support
- High CC/High Damage
- High Offense/Medium Defense
- High Damage Ranged/High Damage Melee
- Low to Medium-High Survivability
- High DPS/Higher Burst
I do not think that she's balanced. How would I balance her?
- Lower her effectiveness at close range by giving E a minimum cast range that's extended from her and lowering the CC duration of her Q the closer the target is from her.
- Since her W is a double-proc on ALL TARGETS, instead of making it a 100% damage-blocking shield, make it only have that 100% block when it hits another ally target and instead if she's solo-shielding make it maybe 90% damage shield and she takes the remainder as damage to her health.
- Put a short delay on her passive so she can't proc it 3 times in 2 seconds. Let's be real here: Her passive is a great damage tool early on, but after a while she'll just start Q-Ring everything down anyway. There's no reason for her to have reliable DPS.
Lux is fine. Skillshot reliant, squishy and immobile. She should be shitting out damage.
If I’d change anything it probably increasing her mana costs a tad but.
She is balanced or even in the weak side , stats don't matter You can itemize against her no matter what your class is , and you simply shit on her even if you get hit by everything as long as you itemize well.
Lux is perfectly fine. Dodge her slow skillshots and ward and she is useless. Also buy qss.
The only change I can think of that she needs is better clear? She's in that weird realm of mages who can't clear a backline of minions in one hit which really hurts her, and her burst is a little low even when ahead, but given how much range she has I think that's fine. No complaints on her lane scaling at all, though I might increase the cd on her ult to offset any buffs she could get to help her handle waves better.
Jack of all trades. Her burst is lower than other mages thanks to have only 2-3 damage skills based on her level. Plus with easy tenacity access, 51% tenacity makes her life harder to kite. Mostly though, skillshots and immobile. Flash her Q, and now she cant land her ult on you so thats 67% of her damage gone. Or qss her q. Or hourglass her ult. Shes fair i think.
