@Riot Balance Team: Why must Lux be inferior to Xerath?
Xerath doesn't have mana problems thanks to his passive, he has better damage and AP scaling, and he has arguably stronger CC. Lux's shield doesn't make up the difference, resulting in her essentially being inferior by comparison.
Is it a result of Xerath being too strong, or Lux needing some mini-buffs? I'm thinking it's the latter, but I could be wrong.
