So when's Lux getting 20 damage shaved off her E

And a CDR reduction on her W to compensate? Cause I can't wait. Why wait 4 months to do it. Just do it now and get it over with.

I'm expecting Lux nerfs soon seeing how many people complain about her and her popularity. Imho she doesn't deserve it, her E costs 130 mana at rank 5, it's not really something you can spam, and for the full damage it requires an AA too which can mean death for someone like her with no mobility whatsoever and completely reliant on skillshots. And it doesn't even clear one wave completely.

The word "skillshot" implicates requirement of skill, and as such should never be applied to Lux's abilities expect for Q.

Hitting someone with your W and ult doesn't require skill? Her E is the only easy one, and even if it's easy to hit, it's still a skillshot.

How does Lux's ult take skill? Just hit R where the Malphite ults and win the team fight from off the screen.

That's a combo, so yasuo is OP? Same goes for annie or anyone else with an AOE ult that can easily hit after a CC?

We don't talk about OP, we talk about skill and you won't say Yasuo into Mal requires skill do you? Annie is different than the two, because she needs to at least get close. Lux and Yas just hit R from where they stand.

Same thing, tons of AOE abilities synergize with Malph's ult. But those champs are not getting nerfed just because of that. Yasuo is pretty bad at the moment. Lux is definetely a strong pick but she has tons of counterplay.

She only has one counterplay, that is not being hit by any cc.

Which is the main weakness of skillshot champions and why they're balanced most of the times. If you get full comboed by Vel'Koz you die, just like with Lux. Same for Xerath, same for Ziggs if you keep eating his Qs.

Zero Skill TankFeb 12, 20161 votes

No, none of those champions can combo as fast as Lux from this big range. All of them have some form of delayed damage, making it actually possible to avoid most of their damage.

And Lux is not skillshot reliant, this CC doesn't have to be her Q which is her only skillshot, it might as well be Taric stun.

HoukagoFapTimeFeb 12, 20162 votes

What? xD Ziggs' ult? Xerath's ult? Or just his Q and W after a malph ult (just to continue your example)

Completely relevant argument but for the wrong post.

Zero Skill TankFeb 12, 20161 votes

Nobody is going to dodge your W, and if they do you still shield yourself, and her ults not only easy to land because it's not actual skillshot but AOE ability, but punishment for missing it is so low that she will often use it on minions rather than champs.

And her E is as much of a skillshot as Alistar's Headbutt - you can dodge it with tier 3 boots or mobility ability, other-ways it's point and click.

So yeah, only Q.

Lux has

+super fast missle speeds in all her toolkit makeing dodgeing very challenging +super high burst +really strong cc +She is like a blitz crank hook, you can dodge 49/50 snares, but the moment you let even one hit you, goodbye health bar. +Can proc thunder lords effortlessly +God forbid if you give her blue buff, because now she can throw down her skills with no cost, while yes you can make this arguement for all mid laners, blue buff is simply stronger on her compared to others, for the next reason im going to state +super low cooldowns

No Mobility whatsoever.
Fully reliant on skillshots.
Easily gankable, which means you can easily camp her and shut her down.
She can't spam without a blue buff, her E alone costs 130 mana once she maxes it, and that's what you max first.
To proc thunderlord she needs to AA you, if she gets in that range you should punish her.
Can't farm easily, she can't spam her skills to farm, and her AA animation is pretty slow.

are you sure you're not useing the wrong masteries? for The one mastery mine as well be a built in blue buff when fused with dorans ring. Or hell build mana regen/ap first and ur fine.

lux has high cooldowns without max cdr are you high?

also her q travels as low as a sloth takign a shit compared to blitz hook speed buying 1 mr item prevents being 100-0

buying 2-3 mr items elimiantes her damage entirely and makes you invincible to her even if you face tank her entire kit
