To all of you lux mains

Will adding actual skill to her E, rewarding you for actually being good and landing it, piss you off that much?

I guess you enjoy throwing it out at 1100 range with little to 0 skill. Giving it actual skill will destroy lux huh.

Add skill... to a skillshot? OMG!?

But seriously... would it help if I told you that if Lux is casting at 1100 range then you have time to move before she pops it? And you should know where she is going to aim it, because it's incredibly predictable? Hint: Back line of minions when you're coming up to hit a CS, or the entire minion wave to farm.

Stay on the side and she will go oom trying to harass you while missing out on farm. Start with a flask or a bunch of potions and she will go oom before level 6 and have zero kill potential on you.

Let me know if you need any more help or suggestions against Lux.

You literally have to walk forward or diagonally forward to pressure her. I found that mainly just walking forward and predicting the Q is the best way to mitigate dmg. If you can't do that, just pick high waveclear or utility mids and afk farm into roa or abyssal with tp

This is good advice, thanks for the addition.

Either they need to remove the "QoL" change, nerf her Q in several ways, or make the travel speed on E a lot slower.

Pick your poison, but only one.

She needs touching up, not a gutting. Her reliability despite being 'all skillshots' is what needs to be fixed.

Either they end up being harder to land, or they end up doing less since they're so reliable. Only way to properly balance her, really.

Just played Lux for the 1st time a couple hours ago. Her E is not as easy to land as you think. I died most of the time because of it. Its so easy to over estimate its range and doing so means she'd try to walk in range before using it. Got me dead over and over. Also, its so damn slow. Landing it requires leading the target nearly all the time. I never knew she was this difficult to play. Not Azir difficult but not ez pz either.

Ohh look, its this idiot again, and again he is crying about Lux.

Its Leblanc totally Zed not Malzahar like Ziggs alot Brand of Morgana champs Ahri canVelkoz do Fizz this.

And a lot of them are meta atm sooooo....like I said in all Lux cry threads. Get better since you are the problem, not the champ. But keep crying Lux mains you pitiful child. Maybe someday you will be correct and a Lux main is actually telling you to shut up.

I must be a damn god if these boards are to be believed since I actually LOVE when I go against Lux as Morgana since I beat her. Every. Single. Time. And I bloody love it.

It's been months since i've seen an lb,malz,ziggs, velkoz,ziggs, and even brand.

If i recall correctly, malz doesn't poke you from 1100 range. Ziggs' Q actually takes skill to land compared to you know what. Those skill shot reliant champions you listed, are rewarded for landing their hard to hit shit, not a brain dead "skill" shot like lux.

I'm not even asking for her to be gutted, damage nerfs? not at all. Maybe revert the "qol" bs that they thought she needed.

Those skill shots do reward them, its called more damage. Ziggs Q can easily hit 700-1k damage lategame, and if you are in a minion wave you will get hit due to splash damage. Vel Q not only hits good damage, it slows and almost always is followed up by the rest of his kit meaning a quick death if you are anything but full hp.

Hell Morg E probably hits even harder, if you don't have a dash and they place it on top of you, thats almost always going to tick 3 times. Late game you are talking 150-300 a tick, so 450-900+TLD and you easily do over 1k just from only a PART of it hitting. Kicker is? It heals Morg too, and works like a nightmare with Rylai's.

Lux E? The highest I ever saw it hit for was maybe 500. All it is good for is poking down which it takes several before her Q+ult becomes lethal. I can't be bothered to look at the scaling but I am fairly sure its one of the weakest.

So please, Why is Lux's E is one of the weakest mage poking tools but is cried about? Since its a big AoE? Last I checked, usually if something does a lot of damage, its usually hard to land, but if something doesn't do a lot of damage, its easier. Lux is on the later side.

If you are having trouble with Lux, then outsustain her. Its obvious as day when a Lux will E. and its with you near minions. Don't get near minions or try to bait it. Hell harrass her, you can easily bully her and she has no health pool so she is easy to bully out of lane. And if she doesn't get fed, she isn't waveclearing, and she can't CS for crap under turret.

Like in all seriousness I just seriously can't comprehend why people think she is so damn broken. Because of her E that not only cost a fair bit of mana, but doesn't even hit hard. And if you are letting her proc her passive that is another story. This is the only time I ever seen Lux as anything but support(and even that was rare) and it is due to Riot making S6 so stupidly snowbally that everyone is extremely safe and passive. She likes safe and passive so that is the sole reason she is back. Otherwise she wouldn't be played. Also you realize if she did receive nerfs, she would get compensated elsewhere? Do you want her Q snaring you longer or hitting hard? Or her shield being stronger? Or her Ult hitting harder? I love fighting Lux but I would hate if her shield or Ult got stronger due to her E. Hell if her E had a smaller AoE but hit way harder would be bad.

And I don't comprehend what you're saying. And you should reread what I said, "Those skill shot reliant champions you listed, are rewarded for landing their hard to hit shit, not a brain dead "skill" shot like lux."

and 500 dmg to what? Tanks? item 3285 item 3020 item 3135 because with those items, an adc will just get hit by 100 magic damage am I right?

Btw, I think you meant morg's W not E.

Nobody is calling her broken, I'm not. Her fucking E lacks any meaningful counter play with how safe and easy it is to land.

Only thing I will say is an ult @ 45% cdr shouldn't be on a 22.5 sec cd and do 500 +75% ap in a giant line... Lux ult is mad stupid spammable
