Could everyone stop throwing shade on Lux. The LoL boards are driving me insane.

Lęmon··1 votes·849 views

I was looking at boards and I see so many people complaining about how Lux is getting a new skin. But you have to actually look at her skins. Personally, I think all her skins are really boring except for Star Guardian and Elemental. But don't get me wrong, I really really want a new zoe skin.

If someone wants a new Ahri or Urgot skin, cool! I understand why, we all want new skins for our fave champs, but you can't go around saying stuff like "Why tf is Lux getting a new skin?! She's stupid! We need Urgot skins and Annie skins!" STUPID?!

Not to mention, people saying "Lux is worthless" because she is support. inhales Wtf do u mean "worthless"? Are you saying Soraka, Sona, and Taric are "Worthless" because they SUPPORT?!

I, myself, do not use Lux for support, but I am not against the idea. I use her for mid lane. "She is still worthless in mid lane, shes super fucking annoying too." WTF DO YOU MEAN?! SHE HAS A GIANT D E A T H LASER!!!1!!1!11!!!111!11!11!1!!!

It is really annoying to see Lux being hated on so much for these reasons mainly:

  • Her laugh

  • Her abilities

  • Her in general

  • Her getting a new skin

  • "She should only support"

    I mean, I do not come here to throw shade on Yasuo do I? No, I am not going to insult Yasuo here. The league boards are really negative and people only come here to rant and complain about buffs and shit. Sure I understand you can be upset about stuff like the sightstone being taken away but could we PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF DEMACIA STOP DISCOURAGING LUX AND LUX MAINS?![sg-janna] Lux

-- Update. After reading comments in this, I can see both sides of the argument. I did not mean to put it in a way as if other champs dont need new skins. Ofc you can be upset about lux getting a new skin, just like I am with Ahri, but I really hate seeing so much hate. If you do not like Lux getting a new skin, that is fair. I will now argue because honestly I do not have an argument against it. I just ask you to see both sides of my conversation before ranting. Of course you can, but just take into consideration that I am salty about Ahri getting a new skin just like you are about lux. And ofc I wish they could sped more time on skins like people for Zoe.

Funny, I've never seen anyone say that Lux should only be support. I've often seen people complain that she should stick to mid and shouldn't be used as support, because people can't resist mowing things down when playing her.

No...you know why we hate Lux Ahri getting new skins? Cause they already had their time to shine. They are the reasons we can't have our Illaoi right now. It is still being developed while the design team is clearly more interested in giving skins to the popular bitches in the yard. Yeah, let me have a new skin for Kled Ivern AurelionSol Kayn already. These champions are clearly more desperate for a new look because...their release skins are mediocre or they just suck in comparison to the original model. Let me have Chinese Dragon Aurelion Sol, Dragonslayer Kled riding a baby Dragon, Tikiman Ivern. I do not want another Lux skin for the 2nd fucking time in a row ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE JUST GOT HER ULTIMATE SKIN!

Listen, I am very upset with ahri getting a new skin, she has as much as she needs. But you have to admit Most of Lux's skins suck ass. Its not like the other champs wont ever get new skins anyways, plus, the lunar one is for lux and 2 other champs. :/

The only skin I really have a problem with is Steel Legion Lux, not going to lie she does not fit into that theme at all. Still its good Warwick and Nasus are getting new skins, its just Lux just got an ultimate tier skin...that's the only reason I'm genuinely upset about another Lux skin, other than that, its another dress with golden particles now. Nothing too big, but it ain't bad either.

Yeah, I am just excited for the new one since her other ones arent the best, I KNOW she just got her ultimate skin, but riot is gonna make a lot of money off of this new skin.

She fits Steel Legion better than Commando, imo

Being upset about Ahri getting news skins but not Lux is a bit hypocritical. Ahri has 9 skins (and a chroma 6 pack). Lux is about to have nine skins (and a chroma 5 pack). And her most recent skin was the most ultimate of ultimate skins. The ridiculous amount of time & resources being spent on Lux skins is maddening when there are millions of players begging for skins on literally anyone but Lux.

I dont think anyone is getting my point. I am upset that ahri is getting a new skin because all of her skins are really cool while Lux has super dull and dumb ones :/

The fact of the matter is, Lux has gotten a lot of skins. Meanwhile many other champions have not even gotten any new skins.

Whether you think those skins are good or bad is your subjective opinion. Regardless of that though it is still better than what other champions have gotten; which is absolutely nothing.

My point is I am just happy that she is getting a new skin and people are treating it like its a bad thing :///

People are upset because they know that for the team to put work into the Lux skin, that team could not have been working towards skins on other champions who are in much greater need of skins.

it's not that making a skin for Lux is a bad thing, it is that doing so takes people away from working on other things.

Ah I see, and I can see that. I can admit that I am uspet they worked on this new lux skin instead of Zoe. So I can understand that.

HalcyonDweller1 votes

Kind of like that. It's the same thing as you being upset about Ahri skins. She has enough already right? And other champions are much more deserving of the work, right?

People feel the same way about Lux getting skins.

Lęmon1 votes

Yes yes, and I can see that. I can see that people would be upset about Lux getting a new skin. I didn't really mean to say other champs dont need new skins, but Ofc people will be upset that another champ with like 8 skins is getting another one.

Okie dokie. Thanks for discussing this with me rather than just shutting me out. Some people don't like being contradicted like that.

Ahhh I see, no I enjoy seeing all sides of the story.

Lux has 9 skins because she was one of the earliest champions in the game Most of her skins are also just recolors, so it's not like they spend weeks on it or anything. I wouldn't be surprised if it only took a couple days.

They're not just gonna be like "oh this champ hasnt gotten a skin in a while, let's just come up with some mediocre idea with no thought going into it, and force a skin out"

Riot is a business at the end of the day. Certain champs bring in the dollars so just accept it for what it is.

Lęmon2 votes

Yes! Exactly, I have no hate on what skins come out for different champs. No hate at all. I just dislike everyone complaining "lux this, lux that.."

You could give one over popular champ another skin and 5 under popular champs another skin and you will still see much more hate about the one skin for the popular champ. People like to be negative and bicker. But those popular skin sales are what help fund Riot so they can pump out more skins for the underrated champs as well. People don't see it like that though, they only see it as a skin that could have been given to someone else, regardless of how many underrated champs are getting skins lately.

Riot has even said they have plans for a lot of the underrated champs people have been naming to get skins. It takes like 4+ months to develop them though so idk why people expect them on the next skin release?
