Lux is too safe and strong a pick

Its been said before but saying it again.

Her utility is great with a possibly full team double shield that scales with her AP items, her burst is strong, snare isnt slow despite what people say and can snare 2 people, her ult does tons of damage with tons of range on a short CD even without resets.

And her E is very easy reliable poke and waveclear.

I was playing kass into her, at level 5 I had killed her once and backed and had double dorans and boots, she came back to lane with boots and some pots and still had her dorans.

My Rank 3 Q was doing like 1/6th of her HP. Kass passive has 15% magic reduc and i had one mr rune. Her E, without detonation, was doing about 1.5 times the damage of my Q.

So even if she was maxing E, thats way too much damage for that easy to land aoe ability with a slow.

She needs a tweak.

Snare should be single target, luscent singularity should have less base damage, and that ult needs a higher cooldown if she doesnt reset it - and honestly the reset should be much less than it is now and reset the same amount even if she kills 2-3 champs with it.

Is she squishy? sure. Does she have counterplay? Sure. But shes too strong for how safe a pick she is into any team comp and into mid or sp.

another idea to add some complexity to her gameplay is to reduce the base damage on her ult but ramp it up to the current passive + ult damage only if she applies the passive twice before ulting. So she has to land E and Q to get max damage ult. This way she cant zone you with E into Q and get full damage.

Hahaha NOPE.

Lux was just nerfed, and she's nowhere near as strong as you claim her to be.

Plus all those changes drastically nerf bat her to the ground. Her snare is a skillshot that is easily blocked by minions so you can't hit the second snare unless the enemy is literally lined up for you. Her E does not do that much damage and her ult cooldown was just nerfed, so let it be.

I think you're just QQing because a Lux outplayed you, not because she's too strong.

no, i won the lane and the game. The main trigger for this post was 'Her E does not do that much damage '. At level 5 with just a dorans ring against kassadin with one mr and one health rune, that E was doing a little less than 1/4th my hp. My Q at rank 3 with double dorans was doing about 1/5th of her hp. Yeah, i know, kassadin is all in his scalings so this isnt a good comparison. It was still an annoying amount of damage that melees cannot dodge , and thats without detonation from her pretty long AA range. Its not that mana hungry and the cooldown isnt all that high. In lane at level 5 with just one dorans ring 3 Es without detonation and ive lost more than half my hp. She still has about 75% of her mana (yes, some was from regen) As kassadin with that 15% magic damage reduction passive and two defensive runes, that really is something to raise eyebrows at.
