I played Lux mid to try her out because she was free a week and I needed a mid laner. I liked her, so I bought her. I asked my friend about her, and he said that Lux sucks. I want to know if I should stick with Lux or choose another champ. If I should stick with Lux, could you give me some tips so I can get better with her? I don't know if I should q,aa,e,r as a combo or q,e,r as a combo. Or before lvl 6, q,e,aa or q,aa,e,aa. Thanks!
Lux is one of the only viable mages currently that fits into most compositions
Destroys any low range mage and DoT type champions
E auto for trades. Q auto, E auto for punishing LeBlanc's and high CD champerinos
If you have at least 80 + ap then you can one shot people with low base stats. QER auto cleanup
Ludens and thunderlords are a must have..unless you are running a support lux or something
And who the fuck said lux sucks she is not too hard to play and can change games into a 5v4 easily if carries misposition
Lux is good, your friend is an idiot. She's very strong right now and fits into most comps. Max your E first, it's your bread and butter. The big Lux combo is usually this... Q, E, AA, pop E, AA, R. In reality, the snare doesn't last that long... so most Lux players stick with Q, E, AA, pop E. or just Q, E, R, pop E. Get used to tossing your E the moment you toss your Q but not popping it until after you've snuck in a single AA to proc her passive. THEN you pop your E and if you can, AA again. Just remember that you're squishy AND slow.... Lux needs to stay safe or she's boned, so ward everywhere you can, never facecheck and don't get greedy until you know what you're doing.
in terms of power, lux is probably the best 'all around" mid laner right now. she has no real bad matchups besides yasuo and morgana and even those have a hard time killing her. Kassadin also good into her post 6, but weak before that. none of those champs are played as often anymore in mid except yasuo so she's very safe.
that said, I main Lux and she's a champion that can be get boring if you do not enjoy playing from a great distance constantly. Lux can make a lot of plays, but they are all calculated and you basically play like a bitch the entire game. you just try to snipe and poke and blow up people from really far away, but you can rarely if ever get to make the cool aggressive plays you see on champs like Leblanc, Ahri, Azir, etc.
even if you dont pick her up permanently she is good at teaching you how to land skill shots and working around long cooldowns as well as positioning.
but no lux does not suck. lux is honestly overpowered right now. not busted status, but definitely will be getting nerfed in the near future.
Lux is decent ,but she does pretty poorly if you aren't the greatest with her. You have to actually land abilities, weave spells and passives, not get killed when you get caught out etc.
If you're just straight up trying to kill someone you've gotta hit them with CC first so your ult lands. Don't spam your abilities, weave in auto attacks, unless they are binded then use R since it activates her passive and imbues it again. Never Q and then E instantly. Always auto attack to activate her passive. A good player will be able to escape a lux ult simply by buying boots and you shouldn't be able to hit someone who is paying attention with it unless they are stunned.
Q, AA, E, R, AA
before level 6 Q, AA, E, AA.
And no lux doesn't suck, she's been top tier for a while now.
She is super OP and great for beginners. Your friends don't know shit.
Lux is overrated anyway. Pick another champ.
lux can 1 shot and beats assassins fairly easy.
She does not suck
Lux is really good. She's one of my pocket mid mages that I use when I want a safe lane with a lot of damage. Lux W with barrier makes you almost unkillable and you will tilt assassins so hard they'll be playing at a solid 45-degree angle for the rest of the game. Q binding can catch people out really well and if you bind someone, immediately follow up with E and ultimate. Your ulti is in such a short cooldown that using it for whatever (waveclear, poke, etc.) is acceptable. Remember that your ult procs your passive so ensure that the light passive is on an enemy before ulting for maximum damage. Autoattacking between abilities is good for maximum damage output efficiency but sometimes it's better to just QER right away to bust them up asap. When you get used to her, start buying mejais in your games. If you play super safe it can be a huge power spike item. Especially since you get assists really easily by shielding your team with W.
Lux by no means, sucks. She is really, really good.
Good luck :D
Really depends on your playstyle. Some mid laners like Leblanc and TF are better suited for carrying, but Lux is more simple to play and a good poke mage. In lane you can Q - E - auto - detonate E - auto or something, from long range you can just simply, Q - E - R + detonate E.
Lux is op now.
