Why does Lux have Assassin level damage?
You would think with all the tools she has, that she wouldn't be able to burst as hard as a champ without those tools.

Because she"s burst mage.If they dont have dmg ,when whats the point playing a squise immobile ap champ ,intstead of high mobility+dmg assasin?
I want to see some Vel'koz QQ threads too since he has similar levels of burst. Hop to it G&B.
Lux is broken, but saying 'assassin level damage' doesn't actually mean much. Most burst champions do about the same level of damage. Lux is actually numerically on the lower end.
Assassins don't really have higher damage, they have colossal mobility.
The only broke thing about her is ult cd. Every lux in diamond right now just throws random ult before team fight to cripple someone down and when it ends she got it up again to finish someone off, its ridiculously too low for that damage and range. Also its about Lux player to miss her ult, not others to dodge it since its so little time to react.
Viktor+more safe+high range=Ridiculous champion.
Its just Lux... She has counter play its a mage like all others. Feed her enough build her with some cdr and she'll burst you down. So will le blanc. U gonna complain about her too?
So do 
, they are burst mages
Many mages do
Assassins don't do that much damage, they just have the tools to bring the damage to the right target.
Then you realize, mages are just ranged assassins.
How's it just dawning on people that mages do crazy damage lol
Annie has assassins levels of damage. Syndra has assassin levels of damage. Assassins have assassin levels of damage not because they're assassins, but because it comes with mobility and stickiness. Damage does not make an assassin an assassin.
but could the abilities have clear hit box. Riot is changing all these other champions ability look, but lux is over here with a laser pointer for an ult that has a hit box of ashe ult. Her Q extends in the same direction if it his something, but i've seen it hit at some ridiculous angles. I'm ok with the amount of damage she can deal, just please make the hit boxes somewhat clear.
She's definitely overtuned at the moment (dat ult cd), but your logic is... flawed. I'm sorry, but just complain about Lux if you're going to. Assassins aren't the only bursty class, and their burst isn't the only thing that defines them.
If you want to complain about Lux, just make it about Lux.
She has that level of damage because she's a burst zone control mage, almost all of them have more potential damage than an assassin. Look an Brand, Viktor, Syndra, or Orianna. All of them can explode squishies once they have their items and their damage is somewhat threatening to a bruiser too.
What assassins have over them is mobility and reliability. Assassins can use their mobility to get onto a squishy and blow them up with reliable burst. Control mages need to hit long-range skillshots to follow up with their burst while assassins can usually just shoot theirs point-blank due to their mobility.
Lux also has more utility with her E granting vision and ranges close to a poke mage but she doesn't have a full disable, only a snare. Preventing movement is nice and enough in most cases but a stun or displacement is much better.
