Lux E, should be able to one shot the caster minions

Sujiren··3 votes·1,034 views

Title, yet currently unless I am overleveled and overfed,caster minions in the backline always seem to live with 10% health, forcing me to waste time aa each once. Take ziggs or xerath other long range mages, they dont have this problem. Would giving her bread and butter skill— e a small bonus damage to minions be a game breaking buff?

Yikes the downvotes are strong on this one.

I think you will have a hard time convincing players that Lux is underpowered in low ELO.

Frankly I dont think she is underpowered, I just want the wave clear to feel more smooth, and apparently the only way to one shot backline creeps is to have morello and semi stacked mejai these days. Feels bad man.

Well I am not a pro but pros rarely use abilities on minions. Auto attacks are better and usually they only hit each minion once at the very end. Sometimes they hit more to prep so two minions don't go low at the same time. It's rare early game that you want to shove the wave into the tower because you set yourself up for ganks and even this bronze Shaco player eats Lux alive if she is pressed on my towers. I would suggest you YouTube some gold people playing Lux and adopt their minion clearing tactics.

Yes please. This is so frustrating. Needing to have two complete items to one shot the backline of minions while champs like Syndra or Orianna can do it just by having Lost Chapter. Its kinda obnoxious.

OP is only talking about minions. I do believe that she should be able to do atleast one shot like 3 caster minions with E like ziggs and xerath can do and that have insane range like her. This'll also force her to use abilities to either farm or poke. Someone said that lux has short CD's comapred to ziggs and xerath. I think he must be drunk and not only that she has insane mana cost issues early game.

The issue is lux passive is a big part of her power budget. She's supposed to have to aa them

You really shouldn't be using her passive 3 times...like why aren't you dead yet if you're sitting there weaving AAs for that long?

Even then that's a long time standing at 550 range of an enemy. If it's a mid laner, they can just aim skill shots and AAs back at you. If it's not, then you're skirmishing/team fighting and someone else is about to murder you. You don't really need to be that close to someone as Lux for that long.

ziggs and xerath have cd lux don't i think

its quite the opposite. xerath and zggs have very short base cooldowns on their q abilities.

lux base cooldown on her e is 9 seconds.

Assuming you build AP, Lux's E does kill casters... (Assuming your first item is morell, and your second item is also AP, one-shotting caster minions happens before you complete the second item [this is of course assuming you're not hilariously behind on gold])

the only way to 1 shot backline is morellos+ludens.

Soooo true! Gets me so frustrated as well! This is one of the reasons her wave clear is so bad.

Futhermore, so many champions who have got shorter cooldown, less mana consuming and matching range abilites do more damage than Lux's E and have way more wave clear. I mean nowadays in the game, many champions use one spell or two to clear the waves almost instantly! Ahri Leblanc Syndra Orianna Taliyah Velkoz etc... And in most cases, Lux has to use two E, even rank 5, with a 130 mana consumption and seperated by a more or less 8 seconds cooldown.

It feels really unfair to be honest.
