Lux; the ranged Veigar.

Hayaishi2··7 votes·553 views

Never seen a champion with such a low risk/high reward play style since Veigar was FOTM, the fact the she uses skillshots is completely irrelevant because of how safe she is allowed to be.

It's ok, better make threads about Lee Sin to farm upvotes.

P.S: Nerf Lee Sin

Play as lux against zed or talon then see how safe you are ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

On an equal skill footing Lux has an advantage over Zed.

Talon has an edge over Lux though because his blink is not telegraphed.

If you don't believe me check champion.gg for Lux winrates against other mid laners.

If the zed player has even the slightest clue on how to play zed. Zed will win.

Which explains why in plat+ elo, where Zed players average 30 more games in ranked than Lux, Lux still has a 53% winrate over Zed?

Have you actually played into the matchup? Or you just going into website stats? And, okay plat+. Okay, the place where people kind of actually know what there doing, I can see it happening every once and I while. But i can say, with great certainty, that in bronze V - Gold 1, Where 80%+ of the league community is, Zed Win's, 9 time's outta 10.

In the end, Lux is a squishy mage that has an easy to dodge root. It's not hard to see how Zed beats her.

I was low platinum last season. Not anything special in my opinion. But I faced Lux's who knew how to play the lane match up. Basically I could only kill the Lux's that didn't know how to land their binds against me after I ulted. Zed's ult, which is his only method of actually securing kills, lands you in a pretty predictable spot. Right behind you. So as he lands, you can just Q behind you and he's basically unable to even touch you. So basically he can't dive you in teamfights or under tower in lane, and thus the only way he can kill you is if you get caught out, which is your own fault. In addition to this, I was never able to land a full poke combo because of their range and zoning potential (Lux's E is impossible to dodge if you're in melee range). I was only able to land Qs that were also thrown from my shadow.

And even if by God's luck that a good Lux player misses her Q on you after you ulted, generally she will take exhaust or barrier to basically negate your burst, making diving her still impossible even if you dodged the key CC she has.

Zed can beat a lot of mages like Syndra and maybe Orianna. But not Lux, or at least not if the Lux is on an equal skill footing as Zed.

Lux never gives Zed the chance to engage on her in lane, she farms from her 800 range.

Jeah.... thats what COUNTERS are for or? I mean a Zed or Talon is normaly easily able to kill Lux or Veigar, because they have blinks and are Ad, thats a huge boost for them, but the author of this forum post didnt intended to say that.

He meant how Lux is compared to other "normal" mids. How does lux behave against a Leblanc, Ahri, Annie, Anivia Brand, Cassio etc? he does havea a valid point, she is incredible safe at her range, and only really vunerable if the enemy blinks in, or if she gets ganked.

They're only annoying in lane, beyond that Lux wins.

Play Xerath to counter her then

Dominick Destine3 votes

Lux is safer than Xerath.

Her snare, shield and slow far outweigh Xerath's flimsy short duration stun.

Tworie2 votes

Xerath has longer range and damage

Swerzz1 votes

And his E is an actual stun, and not just a root.
