Thoughts on the Lux buffs?

I am only a lowly silver, and I know her win rate isn't too crazy, but I don't know if Lux's shield buffs should effect her too. On the PBE it triple stacks if she touches an ally with it, also affecting Lux herself. 150 HP AOE shield level one is sick! But I don't want Lux to be nerfed.

The thing with Lux is that if she isn't 100-0ing a squishy she's not doing much at all. She can't damage tanks and her long CDs means that once she uses her abilties the enemy is relieved of a ton of pressure.

Low elo lux really dominates but I think overall the buffs are justified. Landing both parts of W is a little bit difficult anyways. Sometimes it feels like your team is avoiding it lol.

No matter what they change on Lux she will probably not be viable at high elo... because she can whiff all of her damage and be useless. And in an elo where people are really good at dodging skillshots, that means most of the time she IS useless. High Elo players tend to want reliable.

The return shield is rather slow, which means she isn't going to get that juicy shield until at least a few seconds later. It's enough time for someone to focus and destroy her. Basically, it's to reward teammates or Lux that position well....but most people like to avoid the return shield like the plague, so....

i think it's mainly to help "support" lux a bit more viable

buff her shield . don't buff the shield. Lower E mana cost at higher ranks. and increase the ap scaling on it.
