Tips against Lux?

Arakadia··2 votes·783 views

The majority of midlaners I play are immobile and thanks to the instant reactivate on her E, I can't dodge it most of the time without a dash. Any tips against her? She seems very safe and very snowbally, and I usually struggle against her.

You must first understand that you cannot underestimate her burst and you really aren't going to dodge E alot. It's difficult and very annoying to deal with.

  1. To dodge E near Lux, walk forward or to the side. Most lux players WILL try to place the center behind the target sorta like thresh's hook because most mages only know the art of retreating.

  2. Understand that her binding goes through one minion. The good lux players will abuse this to try to sneak in some Qs

  3. Scare her: If Lux overcommits to the E, auto. Let out your full rotation while trying not to get binded. You will win the trade

  4. Picks: Zed : self explanatory.. she misses Q zed pops her. Yasuo : very frustrating to deal with. Windwall blocks E and its hard to land Q with him dashing. Fizz : can dodge E and possibly win lane considering if the Lux gets overconfident and overcommits to passive autos. Anivia : Dont get me wrong Lux can really bully Anivia pre-6 but when 6 starts shit hits the fan. You will always win trades with the ult+E and most likely if she used a full rotation then her CDs probably wont rek ur egg fast enough. Orianna : can passively farm and E her E's.Xerath : It is possible to actually outplay Lux in the pokewar, but it is a much harder task. AurelionSol : Secret counter

  5. Dont play DPS mages.. Zhonya active when you see the red line

  6. as Lux lunchmeat: these are picks where you just seem to get shredded in lane because of the matchup.. let's just say the Lux is really good and positions well. Then.. either take summoner 1 or rush item 3027 item 3001 item 3156 .. this is like the bane of her existence

morgana works too. Lulu will survive lane

Build an Abyssal Scepter and she bounces off (until she gets Void Staff). That lets you stomach her spells easily. Or get a Zhonya so she can't combo you with her laser. If you get snared, odds are she'll laser you, so use Zhonya's to negate her ultimate.

Otherwise you should play assassins against her. Her shield change made her super-weak to all-ins.

Start with boots to help you dodge. Try not to stand too near to your minions, so she's forced to choose between harassing you or farming with her E.

If you are ever moving towards her (chasing, trying to kill), randomly veer off to the side occasionally to dodge her binding (the same you do when chasing a skillshot champion like Thresh.)

If she uses her spells, go ham, she has very long cooldowns. If you get good at chase-dodging her Q (as mentioned above), then go ham on her every time she uses her E.

If she tries to bully you with her e+ auto combo, then she needs to get fairly close, making her a fairly easy gank for your jungler.

Depends on your champion. If you have great pushing power and relative safety like Zed, push her into her tower and she will lose tons of CS. Lux is terrible at last hitting with her long CD, bad shoving power and the time she needs to take to wipe mobs with auto attacks give you free reign over the lane and if she try to attack you, she will simply lose more CS. It also give you the chance to roam and help other lanes.

If you have killing power like Fizz, try letting her push a little and ask for a jungler gank to shut her down early. If the jungler can't or won't come, wait for the minions to not be stacked in her favor before making your move. Make sure you dodge that Q or you'll screw yourself over. Once her Q and E are gone, she's vulnerable and will usually retreat, keep attacking and count the seconds to make sure you can retreat before her Q is back or better yet, kill her outright.

If you are a farmer, just stay safe of her Q and passive when she E you and outsustain her poke. She won't do shit for poke if she doesn't land an auto attack after her E. Punish her when she goes past your minion line has your minions will help you trade against her.

Honestly, the best way to beat her is to deny her CS and punish her when she try to last hit. A good Lux is hard to kill, but even a good Lux needs to auto if they want all their CS.
