Stop playing Lux support

It does not work.

It has never worked.

It will never work.

If you want a utility AP support, there are a multitude of better options than Lux. Brand, Vel'koz, Karma, Zyra, Lulu, Zilean.............all of these offer more than Lux support. Lux is far too item depended to survive on a support's gold budget. If you value your team comp at all, never pick Lux support. It's so bad it's not even off-meta. It's AP Darius levels of trolling.

lux support can work when the lane is snowballing, but not even AP darius can work when snowballing.

Luz is an awesome support. She has a 2 man snare , a huge ass shield and can slow reveal enemies via her e.

I think lux is a great support.

If you can plus support trundle in LCS, support lux is fine.

Stop playing Lux period. She is nothing more than a skig skag scallywop with poor fashion sense.

Support Lux is viable in low Elo, probably up until Gold V.

After that, you almost never see it. She doesn't have great mana sustain in lane, if her health gets low she can't recover it through a item 3097 and she lack spell vamp like Morgana.

She is essentially a higher damaging morgana that needs to manage her mana. On my smurf I played support lux because lux was cheap/free and all the other supports were crazy expensive in terms of their IP cost.

She has two issues: She can't get people off her if they jump her and the mana cost of spells is very high. But a nice advantage she has is the passive she brings and the range of her auto attacks.

I actually think she is currently a better support than a midlaner. Too many midlaners outclass her.

This is exactly what I think too! I am a Lux Support Main (Currently Plat 3, still climbing) and I totally agree. The reason why I play Lux Support in Ranked is because she has so much un-tapped potential just wating to be exploited. I play her... differently, a mixture of ap and utility, but NEVER full ap unless the enemy team is stupid (which never happens in Plat). You can check out my ranked history and see for yourself how differently can Lux be played effectively!

This just sounds like the people who are playing lux support just don't know how to do it.

the only reason lux ever works anywhere is because she is CRAZY easy to play

literally free waveclear and faceroll follow up combo once you hit a binding. Her early poking with autos is also really annoying, but that stops working once midgame and teamfighting begins, when she becomes a free kill because champions can just run her down
