Like seriously if you're a melee champion in lane against her, there's nothing you can do. The aoe is massive and can be activated instantly and all she has to do is throw an auto for a thunderlords proc and half your health. Make it like a gragas q or something. Better yet, make it actually avoidable without movement abilities
Eedat7 votesAre you actually comparing Lux's passive damage to Anivia's E? Are you serious?
Unlucky471 votesI'm comparing the whole thing. Anivias r is a large aoe ability that enhances her e, luxs e is a large aoe ability that enhances her auto. Only difference is lux does more damage early on. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I get half healthed by her e auto.
Wonderlands1 votesThat's not because of E. That's just her passive. Stop letting her auto you after she's thrown an E on you.
Unlucky471 votesWell the only way to avoid lux autoing me while playing a melee champion is by playing yasuo. And I know it's her passive but her e applies her passive so her e essentially enhances her auto
TheUltimateLife2 votesI believe the answer to your inquiry lies in the fact that Lux's E range is far superior to her auto attack range. It sounds like you're mostly concerned about the long range poke, so she shouldn't really be in range immediately. If you go to back off and she's chasing you down for an auto, she's usually taking some minion aggro and wasting time doing so.
Lux's E is also a skill shot with a travel time. Most melee champs DO have a mobility spell, but in any case you can see where it's going and avoid it just by walking. Rule of thumb is to walk into it as most of the time the Lux player will throw it behind you. And if you're melee this works to your advantage anyway so you can go for a trade. By comparison, Anivia's R/E combo was not as healthy since the ult would appear instantly below you and you can hit someone with a targeted ability immediately.
I hope I've explained it to your liking. Let me know otherwise.
