Lux is played exactly like Xerath now

With luden's, arcane comet, manaflow band and smaller things ike scorch or cheap shot, all she does is stay back and poke you to death with high damage high cc spells, never really running out of mana

How is that any different from Xerath, and why doesn't he get a 400 hp shield?

Remember when Lux had to weave autos between spellcasts and use the shield purely for trading with other ranged champions?

The same free damage from items & runes is also the reason Soraka is being pushed more and more into the lane bully role, rather than the "help every ally with free, low-power sustain" role.

One time I played her 2-3 games in a row and almost fell asleep throughout those games. Extremely boring and requires a fraction of a brain cell to operate. I'd put her at the bottom of all champions for 'most fun champions to play' list.

they removed that playstyle when they took away her ability to proc thunderlords/electrocute with a skill + auto. So now she plays the "Fuck you, you can't touch me" playstyle.

Yep I banned Xerath and the player chose Lux, lane phase was just as annoying, constant E / Q spam when she got CDR. When we gank her she BMs "you need all the help you can get" so I retort "you're a xerath player aren't you?". They say no. Post game I look at their profile and lo and behold they played Xerath the previous game

Facing Lux support when you are botlane red side is even worse because of the camera angle, spell spam from off screen
