Her ult allows her to make kills. Otherwise she would be useless and relegated to pure support. Her low CD ult is why shes only allowed to have 3 damage spells.

Dont be stupid.

This is a completely uninformed assessment of the Ezreal nerf.

The reason they increased Trueshot Barrage CD by so much is because Ezreal has a flat CDR mechanic at a time when he is building maximum % CDR every game, giving his ult a cooldown actually comparable to some of the longer basic abilities in this game.

Lux does not have a flat CDR mechanic. As a matter of fact, the similarities between these two ults would be: -Long range -Straight line -deals damage

Lux is one of just a few champions in this game with an ultimate that does ONLY non-true damage without global range, and that also gives her nothing passively. Most other champions have either some bonus effect (cc, self buffs, enemy debuffs) True damage (Darius and sometimes garen) or global range (Jinx, Draven, Ezreal, Karthus)

In fact, Lux ult aligns itself more as a basic ability in design and effect, set apart only by absurd damage numbers for a basic ability.

TLDR: The reasons ezreal ult was nerfed do not apply to Lux ult, and as such the same logic cannot be applied.

jhin ult do 0 true dmg idk what u are talking about.

Spaceman5pffFeb 26, 20162 votes

Has a slow on each shot and I believe it provides brief true sight on enemies hit.

No true damage, but bonus effects nonetheless I would classify this as Enemy Debuff

The DeckownerFeb 26, 20161 votes

if jhin's ult doesnt slow it will be impoissible to land.

talking avout pure dmg ult, what about veigar ult?caitlyn ult?draven ult?rammus ult?

lux mains plz stop defending her bullshit cd.

Spaceman5pffFeb 27, 20161 votes

Veigar ult has a bonus of scaling off of target AP Cait Ult provides vision throughout the duration (they cant hide in bush) Draven, as i mentioned above, is global Rammus gets to damage structures.

Lux Literally does damage, and applies her passive. Throw more at me.

EDIT: check my match history, my lolking, heck ADD ME on league I hardly play lux. Pretty sure i play more ziggs and midlane is my 4th role pref.

The DeckownerFeb 28, 20161 votes

If u wanna talk about bonus effect, lux ult REVEALS the entire aoe.

Spaceman5pffFeb 28, 20161 votes

Hm. Ill have to test that sometime.

I didnt think it provided vision. Then again it would make sense thematically as a giant line of forced nuclear fission (I believe that is most closely what lux ult is) would tend to create at least a small bit of energy, which may have a small percentage of its total be released as a bit of light

The DeckownerFeb 28, 20161 votes

the league wiki says it reveals the enemy.

its like farsight trinket except you dont get the vision debuff on the targetted champion, but for the duration of the animation enemy within the aoe is revealed.

her ult isn't global

Mr Broken WingsFeb 25, 20162 votes

oh come on thats the thing of lux, she always had a low cooldown ult and thats somehow part of her champ identity.( remember when lux legit ultied nearly every wave to cs?) Why removing that of all things? I agree she could use a change but that seems to be a stupid one.

Critmaster GarenFeb 25, 20162 votes

you are aware, lux is not an adc and doesnt have 800 damage auto attacks to go with that ult?

if you change her ult to a 120 second cooldown, please also add ad scalings to her abilities so she deals damage with them while building adc, like ezreal does.

and since were at it, make the laser actually global like his ult.

Does lux have a spammable Q that reduces her ult CD and 800 damage AA's with item 3042 ?

No but she does have a spammable Q that means a death sentence if it lands.

darkmatchwaldoFeb 26, 20161 votes

Not really considering item 3140 summoner 1 are a thing.

Spaceman5pffFeb 28, 20161 votes

Wait why are we building item 3042 on lux did i miss something

Lux, doesn't exactly hyperscale with CDR. Ez Builds 40%, and can probably reduce his ult Cooldown by nearly 65% or more. Due to his Q interaction. Lux get's 40% CDR, and won't be able to reduce her Ult CD any shorter than that.

furthermore this wasnt just about a short cooldown on his ult.

but because his ult has such a short cooldown with 40% cdr and his q spam, and is a global waveclearing tool, it allowed him to splitpush multiple lanes at the same time when used for minion wave manipulation.

this still works, but he cant keep the pressure up and still have it available for his next teamfight.
