Everything Lux can do Xereth can do better

this isn't a hate, QQ, or rant thread about either or , Im just stating my Opinion. Lux right now isn't OP or UP its just that shes relativly less burstier and better than other midlaners. Take a look at abilities Q- RANGE: 1175 COST: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 MANA / COOLDOWN: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 ( 6.5~ sec cooldown with 40% cdr) MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+ 70% AP) SECOND TARGET MAGIC DAMAGE: 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 (+ 35% AP)

W-RANGE: 1075 COST: 60 MANA / COOLDOWN: 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 ( 6 sec cooldown at 40% cdr) SHIELD STRENGTH: 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 / 180 (+ 35% AP)

E-RANGE: 1100 COST: 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130 MANA / COOLDOWN: 10 ( 6 sec cooldown of at 40% cdr) SLOW: 20 / 24 / 28 / 32 / 36% MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 105 / 150 / 195 / 240 (+ 60% AP)

R-MAGIC DAMAGE: 300 / 400 / 500 (+ 75% AP) COOLDOWN: 80 / 65 / 50 ( around 30 sec cooldown with 40% cdr)

These are some decents stats, not the best, not the worst her E mana cost is higher than her ult for some reason and it isn't strong enough to clear waves, ive had easier times clearing waves with than , Her cooldowns are annoying if u don't have 40% cdr as u can't spam your skills in teamfights as much as other midlaners. Wasn't supposed to be a long ranged mage, her passive is the opposite of a long ranged mage making her forced to aa to proc the mark if u don't have ult, better yet your range is 550 same range as a couple adc's like and meaning if you try to proc the mark while they are snared, they can auto attack you back for more damage making procing her passive sometimes not worth it. has a soft CC that can hit two people, thats good if you are getting chased but the thing that i hate the most is that her move speed is 335, meaning if ur getting chased and u miss Q, your Dead.

Now lets look at abilities Q- RANGE: 750 to 1400 COST: 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 MANA COOLDOWN: 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 75% AP)

W-RANGE: 1100 COST: 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 MANA COOLDOWN: 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+ 60% AP) EMPOWERED DAMAGE: 90 / 135 / 180 / 225 / 270 (+ 90% AP) EMPOWERED SLOW: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80%

E- RANGE: 1050 COST: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 MANA COOLDOWN: 13 / 12.5 / 12 / 11.5 / 11 MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 / 200 (+ 45% AP)

R- RANGE: 3200 / 4400 / 5600 COST: 100 MANA COOLDOWN: 130 / 115 / 100 MAGIC DAMAGE: 190 / 245 / 300 (+ 43% AP) MAXIMUM SINGLE TARGET DAMAGE: 570 / 735 / 900 (+ 129% AP)

His passive is really good early game for that mana sustain but it kinda falls off late game while lux has a passive the better it is later into the game. Xereth could easily maintain a minimum of 1050 units away from you while lux is forced to proc he passive.

Again this isnt a QQ thread or rant thread, im not hating on him, he's the first long range mage that popped into my head. So Rito please could we some changes to lux like make her passive stack then her ult ignites it or maybe a different passive because she isn't a long range mage with that passive.

Lets review:

Pros: AoE sheild can snare two people relatively easy to land AoE slow Ult has a really low Cooldown w/o cdr Cons: Gets rekt by anyone with instant gap closer Her abilities are hard to land against people with mobility ( That includes trying to shield them LOL)

Overall lux is very balanced but i think she might need a bit work to help her fit the Meta because of the LC$ big plays
