So Lux will remain one of the best mid laners?

I guess i can understand the talon nerf as its not horrible since his ult was on a really short cd... But theres still one question about WHY lux gets to keep her spammable ult? Shes been one of the safest mid laner that can 100-0 squishies lategame yet talon is getting nerfed over her.. Hmm so lets look at what lux does. play safe all game, poke them with your point and click e that is almost undodgable, then spam ult every 30 seconds because why not? but talon is getting nerfed and lux gets to remain in the same state. hmm i really dont get that.

lux has to build a mejais and alot of ap to 100-0 champs late game

Plus lux is extremely immobile, talon can escape a 5man gank by pressing r

I think it was meddler that claimed they'll be looking into Lux soon and decide if she needs nerfs or not.

I say just jack up some of her mana costs. If she wants to be safe there needs to be a real price for it.

Whoah, whoah. Let's slow down. Lux 65-0s squishies if she hits them and she's an AP mage with an entirely different playstyle from Talon, who is an AD Assassin. I personally wreck almost every Lux I lane against, and I can't remember the last time I got hit with her ult. Most Lux players I've fought recently have missed most of their bindings, and didn't get fed enough to deal that much damage. Ironically, I've seen more damage from an AP support Lux that supported well than an AP carry mid Lux that tried to murder everyone.

I don't understand these frequent posts about Lux being OP and needing nerfs. She hasn't changed in ages, what makes her OP now? What's up? I'm genuinely confused on the matter.

Riot tends to like champions with decent counterplay being good and they tend to nerf into oblivion champions lacking good counterplay.

Talon instantly warps right behind a target then QWER's them. The only counterplay to Talon is "don't get within 700 range of him". Which is kind of BS.

Granted: Talon's damage is low enough he generally needs both ult hits to kill someone that's on roughly equal footing and he doesn't silence his foes anymore.

But then Duskblade. Talon synergizes better with AD caster items than anyone else (his power-spike with season 3's AD caster itemization was crazy high). His power-spike with the introduction of Duskblade was also pretty noteworthy.

With Lux: listing lazily to the left works vs. her entire combo, all her moves come with a big telegraph and relatively slow projectile speeds.

Also: given the state of the meta, Lux being good ATM is more a matter of Lux being one of the only mages worth picking and picking a mage being useful over Lux actually being OP. She's useful more due to AP itemization being bad, AD itemization countering mages really hard at the moment, and Lux's core identity revolving around range and utility allowing her to deal with the current meta better than most mages.

you wanna know something... lux is NEVER banned in my elo.. you want to know why?

becuuase she sint an issue compared to the insane about of incrediably broken champs at the moment...

she is strong? yes.. she she maybe TOO strong... possibly.. but she isnt evn close to as big of an issue as champs like KogMaw MasterYi TahmKench XinZhao Jax are

although technically 4 of those are only broken because of item 3124

granted XinZhao is much LESS of an issue due to his nerfs and Udyr is finally almost balanced now

but thos era just the BROKEN champs im not even egttign into the OP champs like Zed Talon Diana Garen Soraka all of which i would REALLY like to ban out but dont really get to becuase there are some much op broken champs at the moment..

FIRST we fix the broken champs.. THEN we fix the OP champs THEN we can consider nerfing lux... but until then shut it with the crap about her being an issue right now.. because she ISN'T... at least not when compared to the other issues we have that require much more immediate attention
