I would like to announce that Lux is a terrible support.

90% of these players feed in lane, and have no damage later on

If you get autofilled or would just like to play a more carry oriented support .. play Veigar with the broken stun, or Velkoz, hell i'd even take Xerath..

but please, stop playing Lux support, I'm so tired of the enemy support carrying the game while you struggle to be useful.

Thank you. /rantover

Let people play what they want and focus on your own game.

As a support main, support lux is a valid support option and is a good support.

Even Aphromoo is going Lux support sometimes, it's good support. Problem is lot of autofilled people just play her as a botlane mage and not a support.

Root? Yes Slow? Yes Shield? Yes

So what you're saying is that people who get filled into a position they don't like aren't good? Ok. But what does this have to do with Lux? Are you suggesting that if those same people picked Bard things would be better?

Lux isn't the problem here. And in the right hands she's a mega PITA.

Agreed, And If They Don't Feed In Lane, They Won't Do Anything To Help The ADC Stay Alive Late Game Either.

She's picked more in KR high elo as a support with a decent winrate. I don't see an issue with people picking it.

As a Lux support main, I can say that she can be a great support if played in the right hands.

  • She has two forms of CC, which are useful for engage and disengage.
  • If her spells are used correctly, she can deal a great amount of poke early.
  • I do admit her shield can be small and hard to land, but I've saved my teammates numerous times with it.
  • If me and my ADC do well in lane, I can do damage later, even if I didn't take some kills for myself. Sometimes, I'm even able to do meaningful damage when we don't win lane either.
  • She definitely has some counters in the bot lane (try landing that binding on a decent Ezreal) but she has some great match-ups as well.

Of course, if players get auto-filled into support, then they're more likely to play her like an aggressive battle mage rather than a support. That's when the problems start. But please don't instantly write off any Lux supports you play with; not all who play Lux support don't know what they're doing and/or is autofilled.

While I can see your point, I also think you missed something out.

Most people don't BUILD her as a support. They still go full ap, Still max E first and clear your adc's wave, and still take barrier over exhaust to save their own asses at your expenses.

Problem with her isn't that she is a bad support, problem is a large part of people who play her as support are what's bad.

last time i played with a bad lux support was never. completely opinionated gtfo with your "psa"

Flashes5/29/2018, 8:32:06 PM2 votes

No

Lux has more consistent poke, along with a shield and a snare.

Vel'koz has a wonky knock up and Veigar falls off without the ability to cs or reliably gain AP.

Lux support isnt any worse than Zyra tho? O_O

I´d argue that they both have situations where they beat oneanother.

Gravirose5/29/2018, 8:45:38 PM2 votes

I don't think it's the champions fault, pretty it's the autofilled support that knows nothing about how to play bot lane lol.

Larriet5/29/2018, 8:46:23 PM2 votes

The recent adjustments made Lux much better as a support. Not necessarily a good option, but much closer to viable.

Full AP Lux support is garbage. With Twin Shadows, Censer, and Athene's, I don't see any reason to build midlane items anymore; that's a full build right there.

lux in general is bad

i ban lux every game because i don't want it on my team

UltraAmpharos2/11/2019, 7:50:08 AM1 votes

tilted when paired with full ap lux supp which ks the shit outta me but good supp tho not the best

Praetor Notorias5/29/2018, 9:43:58 PM1 votes

If lux gets to be a support so does Anivia. They have the same windows of opportunity and very similar peel potential.
