Why Buff Lux?

Okay... I'm a lux player... or I was till I stopped because every time I play her I shit on the enemy and they have absolutely no chance...

Shes the only champ I feel safe to buy soulstealer on because she is so incredibly easy to do lots of damage and never put herself in danger.

Shes been a top mid pick for ages now...

2 dorans rings fully keep up her mana (very cheap)

Her damage for her range is higher than anyone elses...

She has lots of CC and her W gives her free assists every team fight.

Now I agree with the buff you gave as her slow seems to not even be there late game... BUT why have we not also nerfed her 0.0

The only fear lux has at the moment is an Enemy Shaco =\

They are buffing her in a way to try to change the auto-detonate play pattern on lucent singularity so you actually use it for the slow.

Yes... but why have they not nerfed her Mana regen?

her CDs are fine. Her early game manapool seems either fine or slightly to high.

Her damage for her E is to high and her Q to low. Her E is incredibly easy to hit with so it should have a lower damage output. Makes her to easy to poke with. Her Q is much harder to hit so it should do more damage instead as her "total" damage output yes isn't massive its the "easy" poke damage that is just to high.

well her damage didnt change... which if they dont change her damage I'm fine with that but they still should change her mana in my opinion... the slow buff I agree with... its the lack of nerf I disagree with =\ like I pointed this out LAST season and still nothing was done 0.0

quite possibly the worst statement in the history of the forums

congrats bro MFW a champ that hovers around 44-46% win rate in diamond and only 2 can play in all of master/challenger elo that is countered by literally 50-60% of the champ roster only has 1 counter LOL

this is why forums need to be elolocked to d1 minimum rank you average 7.1 deaths per game and have a 50% win rate and you think your winning/stomping people? really?

PS: I just checked and lux went down to 39.77 win rate in diamond becuase all the low elo diamonds think shes freelo and tried to play her 39% win rate LOL

The problem with Lux is that she is very easily gankable, and had very little chance of survival should a champ like Eve, Shaco, or Khazix jump on her. As it was, the E wasn't worth stopping to throw because the slow effect wasn't strong enough to make any real difference at such close range. And due to their highly mobile nature, it makes dodging a linear skillshot like Light Binding pretty simple. And if you missed that, you're almost certainly dead, while most other mages usually have some form of high mobility that allows them to escape. And this is coming from someone with almost 700k mastery with her.

Now with this improved slow effect, it makes her E more useful in more situations than just for it's long range poke, and is now worth stopping to cast.
