@Riot Balance Team: Why must Lux be inferior to Xerath?

darkdill··2 votes·670 views

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.

Xerath has surpassed the limit and fragility of human flesh.

Lux has not.

never underestimate the power of the double rainbow.

To be honest though lux could use some kind of change to her passive making it so that her Q and E will proc her passive as well. It would be putting her a little more on par with some other inmoble mages who have been buffed a bit in the past few months cough xerath cough cass cough Viktor cough . alright I guess they just got reworks but that is still generally leaving them in a better spot then they were in.

in a 1v1 you are right about that shield and damage, but by god does she have the better taunts. can drive a player fsking insane spamming that stuff for ten minutes straight in lane. thats some reach right through the screen across the internet and jab them in the earholes with rusty nails power right there.

Lux is harder to kill then Xerath unless he's stupid and out of position.

Stop lying and just ask for a buff for Lux. A buff she doesn't need, btw.

Continuous mana burnouts at level 18 with full build tells me she DOES need one, if a slight one.

Lux has arguably better CC and a shield. She's like Xerath, but with more survivability and supportive characteristics. Did I forget to mention that her ultimate has half the cooldown of Xerath's, hits a far larger total area, and doesn't require you to land three small skillshots to use it efficiently?
