I play Lux and I'm not happy about her changes.

XxDottisJayzunxX··4 votes·623 views

Hi, sorry for yet another Lux post, I guess I'm upset that since her changes make her so b r o ke n with her ult, she's gonna be 100% pick/ban I can't just play her casually and enjoy the expensive ass skin I bought. Just a thought :d

Late game if you get snared you are dead. Like, 85-100% of the time you will die to her combo if you get snared.

NOW she will be able to repeatedly spam that combo and chain kill people

sigh yep. Hell, when I don't feel like playing mid, I play support Lux, and I realize no one is gonna want me to play her anyway bc they'll complain about me ksing before the game even starts, which I don't do but still. I feel like they're going to turn her into a champ no one wants to play with unless they're playing her themselves.

Personally, I just don't think they are buffing her in the correct manner. Her ultimate is pretty much always up late-game anyways.

If they want to buff her, I'd prefer one (or more) of the following options:

  • +5 MS (which would restore it to her previous value)
  • Casting W doesn't interrupt movement (improved chasing/escaping)
  • Slight increase to her passive's damage in early levels (improved last-hitting, pushing, trading)
  • Adjust the speed of her W (i.e. increasing speed the further it travels)

Yes. She was a bit over tuned before they changed her w, and has been under tuned since they nerfed it. This, to me, indicates they were on the right track balance-wise. Just revisit it, and adjust the speed to somewhere in the middle of pre-nerf/post-nerf speed.

I feel like Riot is ignoring the fact that her shield is so clunky, it just feels inconvenient to use. Like you said, the movement interruption is super annoying, and I've caused my death by shielding and having that slight pause. And when you said increasing the speed of her w, I think it's decently fast, but what if they did it like something similar to Sol's Starsurge where it covers more area? I might be missing a flaw with it, but I'd be okay with it.

You alreqdy bought the skin so you don't matter! It's about getting new people to buy it :P

It's PBE..... they are testing the changes. Please, please, tell me you understand what PBE is, and that nothing that goes in comes out the same way..

XxDottisJayzunxX1 votes

Yeah, I understand what PBE is, but I wouldn't put it past Riot to push this through to live.

What? lol. PBE changes go through as-is 90% of the time. lol

There is still the 10% and in this case it could fall into that 10%.

Do you have a link the the Lux change you're referring to? I can't find anything beyond some VO stuff.

Final Spark (R) If Final Spark kills an enemy champion, 30/40/50% of its cooldown is refunded.

So late game, it will have a 20 second cooldown if you kill someone with it. The current team fight is over by that point, and your ult will be up for the next team fight regardless of this change. While I'm glad to see her getting buffed, this seems to be targeting the wrong area.

Agreed. I've posted some alternative buffs above which I would much prefer to see implemented.

FiddlesOnTheRoof1 votes

Ya, I like your ideas. I think targeting her passive is a good place to start. Especially late game, if she's close enough to use her passive, she's positioning wrong. Maybe she needs a mini rework centered around giving her a new passive, and maintaining the rest of her kit.

EndlessSorcerer1 votes

Honestly, I like her current passive. It is useful for last-hitting, trading and bursting down targets.

While you shouldn't always be in range to autoattack in the late-game, it is rather useful when you are.

FiddlesOnTheRoof1 votes

Never mind- found it... Ya that seems worthless. It's always up anyways. Problem with this change is, it won't markedly raise her performance. So she'll get another buff or two. All of which will culminate in her being too strong, and then they'll gut her.

At 45% CD and a kill she get ult back in 30secs. That is just crazy. She can literally ult twice in the same team fight.

Yas does the same thing, just noting.

And htis is just PBE.
