“Dodge the skillshot” is not an argument [Looking at Lux]

For one very simple fact: good players land skill shots.

This argument also ignores the power of said skill shot. For example, eating a zed Q probably won’t be the end of you - it’ll hurt but his Q is not all or nothing. Eating a lux or a Morg Q is probably the end of you. Both cases have certain power budgets in them but these skills are created with the idea in mind that good players will land them. When we have balance trouble is when players can still dodge these skillshots and you can’t really punish the champions for it.

Again, this applies less to someone like Zed and more to Lux or Morg Q, because they are all or nothing. And yet, for someone like Lux, her Q remains incredibly spammable while she’s also long ranged. So dodging her skill shot doesn’t matter, because you can’t punish her when you do. This is one reason lux can be a bit of a headache because when she’s good, it’s because punishing her is impossible. But punishing her is almost always impossible anyway because of her range and spamability of her spells. So when she’s good, it’s provably because she’s overturned in areas.

Riot should look at increasing her Q and R CDs or decreasing flat damage while buffing scaling, because support lux is doing too well right now and a large part of it is because you can’t punish her.
