Lux could use a nerf.

Terozu··12 votes·2,318 views

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?

Terozu3 votes

Because she has reached a moderately played status(She had a 4% playrate less than 4 months ago iirc), has a steadily growing win rate(third highest supp win rate at the moment too) and playrate and will likely be recieving indirect buffs next patch?

Shouldn't we wait then?

Every time they've 'waited to see how it goes', the person has ended up overpowered and then gutted.

I want that to be nipped in the bud. She was given these changes because she was struggling, she is no longer struggling and is in fact excelling. So it's time to cut some power out before she starts being called broken.

aftershock needs a nerf, not lux

Terozu2 votes

Aftershock is already being nerfed, but Lux uses a wide variety of runes, not just Aftershock, those other runes are being buffed, and she has had a steady growth in both playrate and winrate for a couple months now.

It's better to nip it in the bud so she doesn't get over nerfed after being ignored.

Actually yeah, it works well into lanes like Leona apparently, I've only tried it once though so I don't have much experience with it.

I DON'T HATE LUX!

I just don't want people to call her broken because I don't want her to be totally gutted and unplayable, because I'll still play her and it'll be sad, which is what Rito does!

She's on of my mains! I have like 200 games on her this year alone already!

I've spent over 72 combined hours playing as her this year!

440,000 MP!

I've drawn fanart of her multiple times and even made a sprite of her!

I've been on DeviantArt favoriting Realux and plain Lux images! The only non Lux picture in my favorites is a cute little robot i d'awwwwed over!

Also this picture is totally adorable isn't it!?

it's I love lux I don't think she's broken in fact she feels a bit weeker than a little while before because I can't solo carry with her anymore..

Terozu1 votes

Lux is getting strong though, and I don't want her to be gutted, which is what Rito does every time she's strong. They gut her like a fish.

I think you missed the "Stay Positive" and cute positive picture.

Sorry buddy, not allowed to nerf "waifus" :C

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
