Let's talk about Lux E.

Is it me or is it that Lux's E is way too large, does way too much damage, and is a little bit spammy? I mean, all the other abilities are fine, it's just the Lux E. 60% AP ratio being spammed at you without any train of thought is kinda obnoxious. I'm not saying Lux doesn't require skills, because she obviously does, I'm just saying that her E is just a TEEEENY bit overtuned.

I think if her E wasn't a guaranteed hit against immobile champs, it wouldn't feel so bad. it's particularly oppressive on a champ with such long range. I agree with that.

Keep in mind the stellar cost and cd on all lux spells.

The damage mana cost quota on lux E is especially bad.

So "spamming" should not be the problem. If u look at vel koz or ziggs..u might find a spamming problem there imho.

TIL 130 mana cost, 10 second cd abilities are spammable

It's her main damage ability and it sucks compared to other long-range mages. Let's compare it to similar champions, like Ziggs and Xerath real quick

All are at rank 5: Lux E: 10 second cd, 130 mana, 240 base, 60% ap Ziggs Q: 4 second cd, 70 mana, 255 base, 65% ap Xerath Q: 5 second cd, 120 mana, 240 base, 75% ap

It's also the lowest range of the 3 but I figured that's not as important.

If you're playing against a Lux thats spamming her E either punish her when it's on cd for 10 seconds, punish her when she runs oom because that shouldn't take too long to happen, or play in your minion wave and force her to shove the wave if she wants to poke you.

Personally i think that lux's e is quite dodgablle if you are not creepblocked and she isn't in your face

as mentioned earlier i agree with don sphagettis point.

just keep in mind also..that her E has a rather big impact radius (even buffed not so long ago). maybe thats what drove riot to the high cd and mana/damage quota.
