The State of Lux

So for the first time since I've started playing league, Lux is finally at a good win rate for her, AND her support win rate is above 50%, while not surpassing her mid win rate. This is phenomenal. Rito's actually managed to balance her mid, and support for multiple elos. In bronze she has a 53% win rate, and in plat plus she has a 51.5. Its still sloped towards bronze being better for her, but it doesn't seem like such an overwhelming gap now, and her support win rate is actually HIGHER for higher elos. I'm hoping her win rate isn't found as oppressive, because she IS simpler champion to learn and get in to. I'd also like to say it feels really rewarding to have so much time on her, and I've been enjoying the buffs a lot. I'm actually really concerned Rito may just gut her randomly, praying that doesn't happen, and assuming it doesn't... You guys really knocked it out of the park in my opinion. She feels smoother to play, while still being Lux, and having clear cut weaknesses and strengths. A lot of people have complained about some balancing decisions, but I've got to say this is honestly amazing from the POV of a Lux support main. Really well done guys, 10/10 would balance again. pls dont touch my champ anymore

I am content with my 15 second ult CD, pls no balance - M7 Sup Lux

Edit: unsure if people thought this was sarcasm or are just really annoyed by Lux.

Idc what support lux win rate is or if its gotten better, i do NOT want a lux support on my team ever. Not in any situation do i want one. If im playing adc then im gonna start the game already triggered if i have one. Its just waving a flag saying " hey enemy assassins, we have no wave of preventing you from killing us because we have the slowest shield and basically no peel so you might as well come down here nonstop".

I've always been a Lux support main ever since I've started playing, and I have to say...

...these changes are GREAT! I'm so excited that she was buffed! [sg-lux]

I hate lux because she plays the same as blitz, you constantly spam Q untill it hits and then E + R boom dead

Honestly I'm just bothered by the fact that her ultimate can have the cooldown of a basic ability(or in the case of ult hat+presence of mind, 2 kills = no cooldown)

Apart from that, she's actually fun to lane against now because she doesn't just spam E constantly, and having it basically be a free hit most of the time.

she's still very oppressive, and her mains are yasuo and riven tier toxic and angry.

I have to say I don't personally like the switch from bigger control zone to spammability. But aside from my personal tastes I'm slowly adapting my playstyle (can't be as aggressive in early laning anymore) and she seriously is stronger. Even from midlane I find maxing w beneficial now and the reduced cooldowns help a ton in teamfights. Her overall winrate is still 48,5 as from opgg so I don't see a Nerf coming honestly, at least for what concerns her midlane. Her winrate skyrocketing in bronze is nothing to be surprised about when you put emphasis on the skill no one is able to dodge there xD

Yes! Lux was my OG main back when I was getting into league and after playing her after the recent changes and it feels so good now. Been very successful with her lately as well.

I was sceptical of all the Lux changes at first but now I love them. It feels so much better to play with and against her now imo.
