From what I've been seeing she has amazing poke and burst. Then on top of that she has pretty massive range.. I dunno looks a little strong to me. I mean I could be wrong. Tell me why I'm wrong if I am. lol
Hard4Hamsters3 votesShe has been for a long time, heavily gated by mana costs and her E was fairly easy to dodge as well before they gave it the instant reactivation. She was pretty strong in lower tiers of play before this, but she was simply outclassed by other poke mages who had access to more damaging, more ranged, and more reliable abilities with lower mana costs. The only real benefit she had over them was the utility in her shield, which I don't think is a bad shield, it's pretty strong.
Now that they have given her some significant buffs, I think she is a little bit too reliable and she is really easy for your team to play around. This results in a pretty high winrate. She might need a little bit of toning down, but I think she will always be above 52% as she is a forgiving champion and her damage and utility put her in a consistently strong spot. Another thing to keep in mind is that she is really good into this meta of melee "juggernaut" carry toplaners as she stops them cold with her Q and E and can reduce their damage with her W. They are really immobile so she is really good at punishing that. If she was against Maokai, Gragas, and Ekko (meta picks more recently), she would have a lot of trouble into them as they have the mobility to lock her down without getting CC'd by her Q and E. I think her high winrate is a result of the meta and her recent buffs combined and that the buffs are significant, but not cases of overbuffing the champion.

Fiveofswords1 votesive played her since season one. The only buff they gave her that i really noticed was the move speed on her q. that was great. the other changes i simply never understood and dont seem to have any impact. She has a very difficult time with wave clear, which is very important for your average ap mid. its difficult to siege people who have a good mid waveclearer because they just wipe out the minion wave before you can damage the tower. But lux cant really do this. Her damage is on the low side. Having good range is cool and all, but its not as useful as you might think. Almost killing someone from a long distance means very little...if nobody is there to finish them off then what did you really accomplish? Lux is very team sensitive. pretty much any champ will beat her in a 1v1 duel.
Matezoide1 votesBecause G&B kept crying for Lux buffs despite the fact she didnt need them.
E was never easy to dodge without a mobility spell. Her win and pick-rates were always slighty above average. Her mana costs are justified.
