why is lux allowed to 100 to 0 people at level 6?

Most assassins can't do that. But I guess the longest range mage in the game can 100 to 0 any carry at level 6. Not to mention her e is near undodgeable, and then you have to usually flash the q, but if it lands it's a sured death. Can you please do something about this? This is a very toxic champion right now.

Her E is hard to dodge but dodging her Q is pretty straightforward unless she's firing it from point-blank.

If she 100-0 you at 6 she's probably ahead of you already, and you ate three skillshots.

Almost every assassin can do that

Zed.

Katarina (If she don't get cc)

Fizz even easier then zed

The list goes on.

With lux, you need to sidestep. You can negate almost all her dmg by just dodging her q. If you don't dodge it you deserve to be 100-0.

you can't dodge it are all skillshots and if she 100 0 you at lvl 6 she is prob fed like hell i have never seen a lux 100 0 an adc at lvl 6

Lux's kit offers 550 base + 225% AP damage from a full combo.

Let's compare some other "good" champions that have different identities. Specifically, a mobile mage, and an assassin.

Ahri has 510 base damage + 275% AP damage from a full combo (all 3 W's and all 3 ults). In comparison Lux is insanely OP. Lux has more utility in her kit, and offers more damage (not to mention her skillshots are easier to land, Q passes through 1 target while charm doesn't, and E is harder to dodge than Ahri's Q). Add in that Ahri will almost never deal damage from all 3 W's (at least 1 if not 2 will hit minions) or all 3 ultimates (1 will almost always be to reposition/dodge something). If the mobility to long range is the tradeoff, I agree from this perspective that Lux has a bit too much damage.

For an AP assassin Annie has 395 base + 245% AP damage from a full combo, PLUS 20 base + 20% AP damage per second from Tibbers. At level 6 this should be a lot weaker than Lux since the base damage is considerably lower, however the scaling is much better.

So in summary: Lux definitely has too much damage at level 6, but her late game is probably balanced. Her long ranged advantage should be the equalizer to Ahri's mobility and yet she gets oodles of damage and better utility on top of that. Compared to Annie it's an early game to late game scale which is fair, but again Lux's significant range advantage tips the scales too heavily in her favour.

I'd argue that Lux should have the base damage on her Q lowered by 20-40 at rank 1 and increased by 5-10 per level so she reaches the same spot at max rank, and/or her ultimate should be lowered by 50-100 damage at rank 1 and increased by 25-50 per rank to be the same at max rank. All of her AP scalings are okay.

Yeah lux is broken and is the best mid this patch, but if you don't complain about Zed/Rengar/Yasuo etc you will get downvoted lol

Because she's not the only champion who can 100-0 you at level 6? Ahri Akali Anivia Annie Brand Cassiopeia Diana Ekko you know what, they can all do this. If you're going to complain about Lux, find a better reason.
