Lux nerfed to hard

Okay I know lots of people think Lux is super OP because of her range and hitboxes and burst potential but stripping away her shield wasn't the way to go about nerfing her. Of course I'm really salty, I placed into bronze 2 and fell to bronze 5 because of the trolls and afks that you get in bronze. I haven't been playing league for more than a year, so I took everyone's advice and I picked a champion who could snow ball games....this is how I landed with lux. I climbed with Lux from -3 LP in Bronze 5 all the way to Silver 5 in about a month and a half. The very next day after I reach 200 games with Lux she gets this brutal nerf. Lux as a champion already struggled with mobile champions who excel at gap closing (even if you land her snare/slow) and now they just hop onto her and rip her to shreds. 1-tick from an ignite burns through her shield, and I don't know why Riot claims this shield is better for her allies. It shields no damage and its a slower missile. Lux was already a squishy champion who had to be really mindful about positioning in team fights - If you did this properly then you stood a much better chance of living. Now its impossible, the moment you get focused by something like a Zed ultimate you're dead. I'm either going to have to look for another champion now or switch ignite out for barrier - a compromise I shouldn't have to make now that her W is a dead skill. I would rather see her ultimate CD be increased if it meant she could still survive an all-in by an enemy laner.

Riot pretty much destroyed her shield. Way too slow defeating the purpose of allowing it to stack, and a single stack shields hardly anything.

She was barely touched.

If anything they didn't even really nerf her.

nerfing a skill by 33% of its value is a lovetap? I dare you to name a single champ that has received a 33% nerf on one ability usually when someone is nerfed its by 10 points here or there not 33% of a skills value

strong talking out of ass is strong

You should be using barrier anyway.

And the shield is MUCH more powerful when you hit an ally with it twice than before.
