Lux Should not be able to shield herself

considering her insane range, the little counterplay against her harrass Lucent Singularity "E", and her burst comparable to most assassins, but at a massive distance... allowing her to sustain once she's caught is a little ridiculous. I think changing her w so it can only shield team mates is a much more sensible approach, otherwise her entire kit it a little too imbalanced. Being able to 1 shot with 3 skills almost invisble off screen, and then protect herself against nearly every burst with her shield is not healthy for the meta in solo Q. If she has massive range, she should be countered by assassins, but if her W protects her from their 1 combo burst, nothing ends up countering her because she will reverse the combo with her burst which is on par with assassins... little ridiculous huh? Please allow counter play against lux by removing her ability to shield herself.

She is countered by anyone with burst.

Her shield has a long cooldown and is abysmal for single-use. It's the last thing you max in her kit (or should be if you're mid-laning) while shielding for 80 damage and .3 AP ratio.

That's literally one auto-attack worth of shield, on a 14 second cooldown.

Zed or Leblanc have more sustain/safety in their dash abilities than Lux has in her shield.

Yasuo should not be able to stand behind his own wall. Legit zero counter to that wall.

Sarcastic undertone.

what's the point of laning by yourself if you have an ability you can't use

If you do get hit by this many spells from this far range, you probably deserve to die anyway

If you think lux is powerful then save some ip and try her yourself instead of going to the boards and whining.

You and I seem to have different ideas of 1 shotting someone.
