No lux nerfs in 6.5?!

Im sure i will get 20 downvotes from salty lux mains who say that their champ is balanced, but right now she is just too safe to have the damage and utility that she has. My idea to nerf/change her:

Reduce her passive damage
Make her w only be able to hit one target, and reduce its stun duration
Reduce her e radius because it is huge, and slightly reduce the slow it gives-make it a longer slow if the enemy is in the center of it.
Increase her ult cooldown to something like 90/80/70 seconds so she cant spam it all the time.

Edit: I now know that she is possibly getting small shield nerfs on the next patch, and that might be a sign of future changes to come, but seriously the shield isnt really the main problem, and while nerfing it a little is a step in the right direction, it will do essentially nothing to change her overpoweredness.

Ive come to the conclusion rito really doesn't give a fuck anymore. Considering they are nerfing all the wrong things this patch.

Not to mention that new draven skin wtf. and draven minions? srsly?

The only thing I approve of that they are theorizing is the new 'Random gamemode' thing and the new champion. All the rest is meh

Yeah, they are making her BS shield go from BS to decent. The rest of the BS that is her kit still remains.

With those nerfs, she's actually weaker than before she was buffed in the first place.

If you are including the pre-detonation and aoe buff on her E into your calculation then you are flat our wrong.

The latest buff was to her snare.

IF you read the patch notes you would see she is getting nerfs.

You don't bother looking at the PBE, do you?

Nerfs to her shield's base value and scaling are there.

They do changes to small amounts of champions at a time.

Two reasons I can think of for this stance/approach:

Less influence of one champions changes impacting another champion in a negative(Or absurdly positive) way.
Limited personnel/time to work on changes, so they focus on what they consider "highest priorities" and then work through it piece by piece. I believe they do this with skins and bug fixes, so it wouldn't be a shock to see it done with champion balance as well.

First off that isn't a nerf, that's gutting. Second off she's getting a nerf once she does she'll go out of the nerf radar :P

Tired of people trying to gut champions out of the game completely just because they salty. All lux needs is a rank 1-4 snare nerf and she's fine.

Gutting? Really?

Hitting her passive, w, e, and ulti all in 1 patch fully destroying anything she is, of course that's gutting.

I don't aim at this comment.I said about PBE nerf.

Misunderstanding.

Oh lol no the pbe changes will just put her back to a normal winrate that nerf isn't a problem since she did get too much shielding for her+allies, if anything i'm afraid it was unnecessary meaning they'll nerf lux again because that nerf was enough.

All I really wanted though as a lux main is they just nerf her rank 1-4 Q duration to 1 second rank 1 to full duration rank 5, they do that it cuts lux so only mains will continue her, dropping her play rate to normal and her early game will be weaker cutting her win rate to normal 50-52%.

I don't like how everyone who complains about lux is just hitting her hard on everything instead of rationally thinking how poor of a spot it'll leave lux later on, I mean her late-end game isn't even an issue it's how much benefit she gets from Q that synergizes with her abilities early.

Her early is mostly an issue when she can CC you for picks/saving herself or setting up additional stuff which is really what should be hit.

Sorry if I went on too long i'm just fearful of what riot will wrongly do until they hit the right thing and make her plummet for the unnecessary nerfs.
