i just laned against lux as brand, it felt incredibly unfair. i was constantly harrassed and outranged. The entire experience felt like i was cheated out of laning phase. when she hit 45% cdr she was able to ult 2 times in a teamfight. TWO TIMES. her ult cd, mana costs, and range are just too op. EDIT: at 45% CDR and 3 points into her ult the cooldown is about 27.5 seconds. why
67chrome4 votesher ult cd, mana costs, and range are just too op.
Lux's mana costs are all pretty high. She doesn't have anything below 50, and her bread-and-butter skill is 130 at rank 5, not exactly cheap. Especially with Mana potions being removed from the shop.
Also: complaining Lux is outranging people is like complaining Zed is fast, Alistar is tanky, or Vayne's auto-attacks hurt. Outranging other champions is what Lux does and always has done. It's a core part of her identity, close behind that low CD skills (which are also a result of her forced mana-sustain itemization).
Marshbouy3 votesthats true, but it doesnt make it any less annoying and feel incredibly broken when you are being outranged. if you get hit by one q you die if you cant out range or tank it
blfUvZ8Ybu4 votesYou're right.But be careful.Salty Lux mains downvote you.
They know Lux is op.

F4lsePr0ph3t3 votesHer luminosity triggers are crazy, able to 1/2 with snare trigger and thunderlord or w/e... Then last 6 it's just snare trigger snare ult dead... Sometime just snare trigger ult but yeah the cdr on her is crazy ult that halves everyone + with everything right ur down to 27s cd lol gg... But she is also very squishy and generally builds cdr>ap>sp If u can taunt or charm and get her to ur turret or extend last hers u can shut her down

doesnt lux e have the same range as brands w?
ive laned against one who just poked me with point and click e's every time i went in to cs. and whenever i tried to poke with e from a distance, he poked back with w.
Marshbouy3 votesher q is longer ranged
Critmaster Garen2 votesher q is longer ranged
if youre getting poked down by her q, youre doing something wrong.
also, doesnt brands q have the same range as hers with a stun attached (after you hit your point and click e)?
really the champions are similar enough that one complaining about the other is just silly.

Mizaya2 votesShe shouldn't be able to have reliable harass
She shouldn't be able to have high burst
She shouldn't be able to have range
So what can she be allowed to do?

apparently she can keep the shield
wait people bitch about that too
I guess she can keep her skins
wait people bitch about that too
well, she can keep the passive
wait people bitch about its synergy with TLD
she can keep her spirits!
Marshbouy1 votesits the fact that she has all of it at once, reliable burst, range, and poke. if you take out one of those or at least make her burst less spammable then i would be fine with lux

The Whamboozler1 votesShe's an immobile long-ranged poke/burst mage with some utility to her. She does well vs other squishy, immobile people who can't dodge her skillshots. If you get to her or she positions poorly, she's very strong. If you dive her, she dies. Seeing as Brand is exactly the sort of mage she fares well against, yeah... you got stomped. Sorry man.
She's also one of the mages who benefit the most from some of the new changes to the game, with the new masteries AND Luden's Echo being very strong on her and covering up some of her weak spots. Her flaws of high mana costs, immobility and being one of the squishiest champs in the game are still there, just easier to get around. Since you couldn't actually GET to her and she outranged you, you had a bad time. Lux is scary against teams that can be kited and she does well against teams that are so squishy she can poke them down. She sieges very well. You got countered.
That said... her ult is strong but unless you're positioned VERY poorly it's not gonna hit more than one, maybe two of your team. Her snare is the same way. This means her main teamfight skills are her E and her W. Her W is a shield... useful but not really doing any hurt. Her E is her bread and butter. If you wanna wreck Lux... engage her team HARD, and if possible, have a flanking assassin or bruiser to dive at her when she moves forward to start poking your team. Champions who can assure they reach her counter her hard come lategame teamfighting, since she has nothing even resembling an escape. Shaco, Rengar, Eve and Twitch can all slip in on her. Zed, Talon, Akali, Nidalee and Kha'zix can usually reach her and blow her up if they play smart. Malphite or Wukong can hard-engage her and force her to flee or die. Xerath or Ziggs can try to out-poke her. Yasuo can wreck her in lane. She can't handle tanky teams of people who can all-in... but if you just dance around poking each other, you're giving her what she wants. Don't do that.
Personally I think Lux is in a good spot. They need to bring more mages to her level, not nerf her. She's one of the only mages worth a crap right now and that's sad.
