Dear Riot - Lux's balanced state

Shirotaki·Jan 12, 2020·2 votes·855 views

Dear Riot,

I believe Lux is severely underpowered compared to most other champions in the game, and this stems from the fact that her abilities are slow and freely aimed. The reason I believe she's underpowered or mediocre is because even in an alternate universe where Lux's Light Binding ability were to have a 1 second cooldown, enemies who are familiar with a 1 second cooldown Lux would still be able to outplay her relatively easily by dodging in the right ways. In some cases, enemies would be able to kill her outright (Kha'Zix, for example) even while binded by her abilities, because Lux has cast times that can't be ignored when her opponents are within melee (kill) range. I think Lux could use some projectile width or speed updates, as a result.

TL;DR -Lux is a mediocre mage with too much counterplay, an issue that can't be solved with a minor damage or cooldown change alone.

"Dear Riot, my champ is a mage and it is being outclassed. Instead of nerfing down whats strong so then its a even playing field, please buff my champ so when you eventually nerf them, i'll be so strong over the rest of them to the point I get freelo."

Your post in a nutshell.

I thought it was meant satirically. Either I'm misreading it or it's just going far, far, (you could even say LEAGUES!?) above your head?

I was pretty much mocking the post. Lux is perfectly fine. Hell, the comments above this chain know whats up.

Oh no, I'm guessing the op meant that Lux is fine. I'm taking it as they're complaining about her being in a semi-healthy place to criticize how most other champions aren't. You know, satire. Of course, this post could be perfectly honest and, in which case, very wrong.
