her support winrate with the aftershock build is actually amazing in soloqueue right now.

in fact the build appeared in soloqueue before ever reaching pro play a few months back.

I don't think "Pro Play" has anything to do with these balance changes this time. Alot of people have said that Lux Support has become an extremely good pick in Solo Queue, regardless of what build you run with her (Aftershock/Aery Support/Full AP).

These nerfs are warranted & it's not even like they're Gutting her. Lux is also recieving compensation buffs as a result of the nerfs.

  • Base Shield amount was Increased mid to late game. Also her AP Ratio on her [W] recieved a 10% increase, giving it a 30% AP Ratio.
  • Her Ultimate has a Cooldown of 40 seconds at Lv3. With CDR, you can probably have an Uptime similar to Blitzcranks [R: Static Field]. Also her AP Ratio was Increased by 5%, giving her Ultimate an 80% AP Scaling.

i dont have to point out that every lux skill shot has hitboxes bigger then the VFX and are in general not hard to land. aswell as the fact that she consistently can do damage. Lux is overpowered and has been for a very long time.

lets give her a shield because why not. it can also shield teammates.

mages are supposed to be taken advantaged of when they use their spells and have no other attack. so lets give lux an enhanced auto if she lands an ability.

lets make her ult capable of killing an entire team with ease. also reduce the CD for everyone it kills.

lux needs to be nerfed ok.

"Pro play ruins every champ" Okay "innocent" bystander, care to explain why Support Lux has been a bane of EVERYONE's existence for the past several patches in soloqueue? Cuz im pretty sure not only do you know the answer to that, but you understand why she got nerfed.

As a person who mains (mid lane)Lux , I can understand where the hate is coming from.

Back before her mini-rework... she was in an ok spot.

Then, Riot buffed her to the point where she was oppressive if played semi-well. She became an actual champion, but now her numbers and the older aspects of her kit needing a bit of tuning.

Old Lux's one saving grace was her E, and even then it was a double-edged sword. It was her poke and waveclear, but also cost the most mana. More often times than not, the strat against Lux was to deny her one of those two scenarios if you couldn't stop her from getting both. Meaning that if you're in a tight spot, you let her get some poke off you, or let her clear minions. Nine times outta ten, she'd go for the minions. Either way, the cost for mana would ramp and eventually catch up with her.

Her E wasn't a problem until she got all the auxiliary buffs. They inadvertently mitigated the impact of its mana cost. Riot then moved some of her damage from her E to her Q, and made her E's projectile speed slower. This made her fairly balanced again.

All and all, she got more buffs than nerfs and become more than one of Riot's poster children. However, she wasn't so strong that you couldn't fight back, and she was still very mana hungry and VERY squishy.

Seriously, even if you rush a item 3157 against a Zed, you're going to have a bad time.

What's more, Lux can't literally two shot people like Zoe. She has to land her skill shots consecutively and whittle her opponent down before she can QER combo them.

Adding insult to injury, she can only combo a person from 100 to 0 in one rotation provided that:

  1. The target is a squishy carry
  2. It's mid-going-into-late game

The nerfs _seem _ justified... but they still fail to address the biggest issue here - Aftershock. More accurately, how ranged squishy champions are abusing it to gain a burst of defense stats so that they can wail on their opponents with nigh impunity.

I'm pretty sure everyone remembers the Lissandra fiasco from not too long ago. Whatever happened to her?
