Lux shield is really bad.

Shibiko·Mar 24, 2016·2 votes·1,308 views

So it was said that Lux's shield was going to go out slow and come back fast, that it would take the same amount of time to travel before the change. The shield now takes 3 seconds to leave and return to Lux. It does not return to Lux faster. It takes the same amount of time. Her shield also is going beyond it's range. It's useless in teamfights. Her old shield was better for the team.

180+180 = 360 (.70ap). in a team fight, many aoe's go off and kill lux's first shield, when the shield comes back, boom the next shield takes over. It's how it works. Now its a 220(.40ap) shield for her team mates.

I don't even see an incentive to even level her W, its slow, its bad.

Before you down vote, remember the change is suppose to help Lux's team mates. This is not helping her team mates at all.

You are aware that the w change was indeed intended to be a nerf to lux's strangely strong auto trades right?

Yes, the best case was nerfed, intentionally and make a new "best" case that is, yes, weaker than the previous best case use scenario.

making the new best case applied on allies rather than yourself by default helps lux's extended range kit be cohesive. Instead pre-patch of W being Lux's "I win trades" button it's more ally centric now. People were freaken maxing W second to make trades impossible versus her, it's a weird strength to have when you are suppose to be weak when people reach you.

its worse on allies. that's the point. in most team fights. loads of aoes goes off first. Lux's old shield did 180 base with .35 ap. that first shield is blown away fast. then it comes back and refreshes and gets blown away. the allies get 360 (.70ap), the new one with the 2nd shield is only 220 (.40ap) and the first shield won't last long enough for the second to shield your allies. its bad.

Lux had to make a tradeoff for her high range, damage and pick power. Most champs don't get such versatile aoe shields even

I mean it was a nerf so working as intended.

its not. Its suppose to take a second to leave and come back and its longer. Plus, it helps team mates less. That's the problem. Its suppose to help team mates more and does not!
