Lux becomes ''strong'' due to meta changes...

... and everyone here loses their minds, asks for nerfs to an inmobile champion with high counterplay (~~way more that can be said of ~~ ), bad mana management and a 100% skillshot dependant kit.

In a AD burst meta I am surprised people complain about Lux. Ironically she has more counterplay that every single assassin put together.

Just rush , play flawlessly, ask for constant jungle presence and transform your entire gameplay, runes and masteries to accomodate for a single champion if you cant abuse said champion's ample and blabant weaknesses and cooldowns :^)

I mean if it works for Zed it should work for Lux, amirite? ~~Except Zed's punishment windows are next to none compared to other non-assassin midlaners~~ [slayer-jinx-wink]

No, Lux becomes strong because unnecessary buff.

Lux was actually in an alright position during season 5. She wasn't weak, but she wasn't oppressive either. Then Riot gave her QoL buffs in 5.12 that ended up making her strong since her E was now almost impossible to miss, had a larger radius, and her shield didn't have a delay to it. Then in 5.17 her Q got some major buffs in a lowered mana cost at higher levels and making it so that the secondary target will now receive full damage and snare duration.

A lot of players saw these buffs, especially the 5.17 ones, as unnecessary and overpowering. It doesn't take much to push Lux from "strong" to "horrible to play against" because of the innate range and safety of her kit. If anything, Lux right now is doing great in regards to win and pick rate, something that should not be happening in the current meta of assassins murdering everything immobile and squishy.

Clearly, she needs some compensation nerfs for those free buffs she got last season. She was already strong before them.

She was over-buffed and right now she is much stronger than those 6 champions you posted.

You're just mad that a shitty OP, no skill champ is going to be nerfed

high counter play is in burst in 2 seconds before her cooldowns are up again
