about the lux changes

granted i havent tried them on pbe becuase i are scared to go their now with the mana changes...

but some of these scare me

E: Missile speed lowered from 1300 to 1200 AOE radius lowered from 350 to 315 Cost lowered from 70/85/100/115/130 to 60/70/80/90/100 cooldown changed from 10 at all ranks to 10/9.5/9/8.5/8

i can understand one or the other... but not both Missile speed lowered from 1300 to 1200 AOE radius lowered from 350 to 315

becuase its a "Radius" and not the full "diameter" it woudl actaully be quite a lot smaller.. and that coupled with the slower movement speed might be an issue.

that being said i WOULD need to try it to verify this hypothesis.

and overall with the other changes it will likely be a net buff especially with the changes to W and Q

( i honestly as a lvl 7 lux think you are drastically overbuffing her when considering all the changes) but i fear this change wont be reverted when you nerf her back down to balanced

The original radius was 300, so this is still bigger than it originally was, and believe it or not, the radius change isn't really noticeable at all. The speed reduction on the other hand feels pretty clunky atm (I've tested it), but I'm sure that's because I'm used to it being 1300. I don't think increasing the radius back up would change that feeling. Good luck ever landing another E on someone with any mobility at this point though.

I'm really on the fence about this change. On one hand, it feels really good to have the lower CDR / mana cost, but I don't like the fact that I have to stuggle to poke with the reduced speed. It's really a love hate relationship with this change imo. Tbh though, I wouldn't mind if this went live, if only just so it could be tested more properly. (The PBE matchmaking is horrendous)

.. This is actually funny. I feel the exact opposite way 😂. I never missed an E even with 160ms (maybe because enemy has 160 ms too though xD). But the radius decrease gives me nightmares.. Not for landing it but.. For all the other uses

The missile speed is ok, I would actually have prefered they were harsher on that. The range is..bad but I can take it. But when I started the game and went to check enemy jungle with E I nearly had a heart-attack. Where is my huge zone of light? 😭

i mean honestly i think they are overbuffing lux, 80 base damage on her Q is absurd when it can hit two targets. and while the shield change is needed.. i think the rest of the buffs are a bit overkill.

i mostly play lux support, and its pretty crazy the damage i can do. that being said the only "support" item u even need is item 3098 and item 3504 and other than it its full ap unless you are grabbing item 3905 which may be doable again after the ap buff

I'm concerned she can't reliably hit all 7 minions in a cannon minion wave now because of the radius decrease, idk , if it proves to be that way ,a nice buff to lux's E would be to gradually slow minions from 100% slow value to 200% slow value over the course of 3 seconds
