Lux could use a nerf.

Lux has a 10% playrate, 8.13% support, 1.87% mid, and a 51.72% winrate, 52% support, 50.86% mid.

I think that, as a Lux support main i am actually genuinely qualified to comment on this kind of thing for once, by some miracle.

In particular I'm bringing this up because apparently Riot is nerfing Inspiration and buffing the other trees, since Lux uses a variety of the other trees this will likely mean indirect buffs to her.

I think that some of the buffs to her cooldown definitely need to be reverted, her reset was added before the new rune system, and with the new runes she's able to potentially have her ult up 3 times in a teamfight. That should be a kat thing. Not a Lux thing.

I also think her W buff where it always doubles even when it doesn't hit an ally should be removed, at least for allies. This will wean a little power from the support role without hitting the mid role too hard.

Potentially other things too, but I believe those are the biggest offenders on why a previously fairly bad champ is now fairly strong instead.

Thanks for reading, stay positive out there summoners! https://imgur.com/zyty7hd.png[]

Why nerf a champion that sees middling play and has an average win rate over speculation?

I actually do not think that Lux needs a nerf... She is average at best aside of other supports. and the ulting 3 times in a teamfight should be a kat thing, not a lux thing. Are you crazy?

I guess she is a cute blonde, that is popular among gamers. make her more powerful, you get to sell more skins.

She is the SAFEST mage in the game. As support still does Mid lane Mage damage but gives the utility and CC of a true Support.

Yes she needs a huge nerf.

I say her Passive, shield and damage numbers all need nerfs
