So, we all know that Lux is absurdly OP right?

Just wanted to bring attention to this fact that a lot of people already know but some people don't seem to have caught onto yet.

Let's consider a couple of things here.

First, the changes to mana regen actually favored her a whole hell of a lot. Lux has always been mana hungry, but now, just with Frostqueens Claim and Morello, I can pretty much spam my spells (@45% cdr I might add) without ever really running out of mana.

And then there's thunderlords. Easiest... Proc... EVER. 1 spell and 1 auto attack. For some reason, the passive proc counts as another thunderlords stack. I happily pick Lux into Zed just because I can bully him out at level 1 and then survive long enough to scale without ever really being at threat from his all in unless he brings the jungler for help and I mean, it's Zed, who cares if you die a couple times, he needs to kill you 8 times in order to really end the game before you can scale. And if he doesn't, he better hope he never catches a bind by accident or you just delete him.

This Girl does Brand levels of damage and unlike Brand, she does it in one terrifying 100-0 burst combo. Brand gets a lot of damage, but a lot of that is burn damage and that is easy to negate with potions and shields and heals. There is NOTHING that will save you from the Lux combo. If you get caught, you die. You die so fast you can't react to it...

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

She also has the potential to give her team more shields than any other champ IN THE GAME! If you are properly layering your shields across your whole team, you can basically negate the enemy's aoe damage. That's like removing a Brand ult. It shields for as much damage as Brand's ult deals. That in and of it's self would be ok, but you can do this on a 7 second cooldown!

Simply put, if you are not very ahead of Lux, there is nothing you can do to inflict damage on her team. She will just shield it all. And unlike soraka who does no damage herself and has no good cc and has to actually put herself in harm's way to vamp back, Lux can kill you from 1000 units away. Good LUX ever closing the gap with her.

Now, for all that, she IS still quite weak early game, but the game's I've played it doesn't seem to matter. The enemy can shut me down all they like, I don't care, I just get frost Queens and Morello every game and once I have them, get on the Lux train. Lasers, Shields, Bindings out the yinyang and there is very little they can do to me directly, they have to go split push or something.

And the worst part. The absolute worst part is that before these changes I had like a 30% win rate with Lux. I am NOT particularly proficient with her. But she's so damn good that even I can be increadibly successful with her. After pre season, I have an 80% win rate with her. She is the most insanely overpowered thing I have ever had the fortune to pick up on before the meta caught up.

TLDR: Lux needs nerfs. I don't know how or to what, but she needs em, bad.
