@Meddler - Your Thoughts on Lux

What are any of your thoughts on Lux?

Design: Is she hitting the mark on her intended role? Do you see her more as a utility mage (like Ori, Lulu, Morg) or long-range mage (Xerath, Ziggs, Vel)?

Balance: It's been stated before(way back when) that Lux is difficult to balance with her mix of ranged burst and utility. Is this still the case and if so what are ways you would change/balance Lux to allow her to serve both roles or push her in either direction(utility vs. sniper)?

I'd also like to say that I fine Lux to be super fun to play and somewhat balanced with obvious strengths and windows of weakness, but have seen recent discussions of her balance/gameplay and am just curious of your stance concerning where she fits in the game or where you'd like to push her.

+1, I'd love to hear this. I used to play Lux all the time, but the mana costs on her E coupled with the vulnerability to any stealth-burst champs (because no one peels for you in solo queue) has forced me to only pick her in weird situations.

Dunno who downvoted you, but +1.

I'd be interested to know aswell. Riot has completely ignored all questions and posts about the gameplay/balanced (not skin/fan art) of Lux for a while now. Would really like to know as she is one of my favourite champions and if champions like Azir, Ekko and Kalista keep getting released she'll be forgotten,

The main thing that annoys me is her e mana cost. Yes it is reliable and easy to land but 130 mana is over kill.

Not to mention the new masteries don't help her and the Ludens nerf affects her more than the other champions that were using it to become oppressive (Corki, Kog, LB etc.) as they can charge it much faster due to lower cooldowns and mana costs.
