Lux's gutted shield

The nerf to lux's shield was way too much. I guess it would have been fine to nerf either base stats or scaling stats, but nerfing both of them (hard) really hurt lux's utility. The shield wasn't even that great in the first place, especially compared to every other shield in the game (Morgana's shield at max rank takes up half her health bar and karmas mantra E is 5 times as good as lux's W. That shield is now a worthless ability and it needs some buffs back to even make it slightly viable again. For almost a year no one had any problems with lux. Im going to go as far as to say that picking lux mid was almost a troll pick in most peoples minds. She only became a "problem" when she became popular just recently. She already has many defined weaknesses and taking away her shield has just made her an underpowered pick. Lux needs some buffs back to her shield, its just pathetic now.

Move along folks. Just another butthurt Lux main with no idea of what he's talking about.

Nothing wrong with her current state. The only issue is that it seems they did their boomerang changes backwards. It Flys out fast and comes in slow where as the patch notes state the opposite.

That's not true. A while back, like right before this season I would agree that she wasn't considered stupid strong but she was still a very good champion, and never at the "troll pick" status that you claimed her to be. Trust me I know that status...I've played champions that was basically labelled around those status like top lane Shyvana back in Mid season 3, or Galio back in season 3 and 4, those were more "troll" picks then Lux. Personally Lux became stupid strong imo when she was able to instant activate her E and then counting in how strong she is against the other "meta" picks atm is why she was nerfed.

Also I know the feelings of when your main gets randomly popular and gets nerfed only because they randomly got popular and was considered "strong" since my main is Anivia which actually has even more weaknesses then Lux does and still got hit with some nerfs. You will learn to deal with the nerfs and if you really are good with the champion then you will basically play as you always do and eventually forgot that the champion was even nerfed at all.

Personally, I would've maybe fix Lux's Q and R hitboxes and maybe a bit of CD for her ult but not her shield. I think Riot INTENDS for this to be the assassin meta. She's a high ranged sniper but she's weak to all-ins is probably what Riot intended. (Like seriously her ult CD makes her spam it like crazy with high dmg AND long range. I can't count how many times I have lost a dragon, teammate, or baron against her ridiculous ult CD)
