Lux is NOT OP!

To all you people who claim Lux is overpowered now, you are jerks. ;P

Lux never even got a real damage buff in the last few patches. All she got was a consistency booster and better mana costs on her Q. Yes, her Q's second hit deals its full effect now, but that's hardly a damage boost when you only hit one target.

Yes, Lux is a safe mage, but there are plenty of Champions who just spit all over safety, or who can give Lux a LOT of grief.

Cases in point for mid-laners:

- Gragas has an answer for everything Lux does in lane. You simply cannot poke down Gragas as Lux. Any E's you throw at him can be blocked by Drunken Rage. If you try to move in to proc Illumination on him, he can easily Body Slam you. You also can't really push him down, as Barrel Roll takes care of minions easily. Lastly, once he gets Explosive Cask, you can't even tower-hug against him.

- Spirit Rush counters everything Lux has. If Ahri somehow loses to Lux while having Spirit Rush available, Ahri is the one who screwed up. Ahri can also sustain through Lux's poke, even after the nerfs, and if Lux comes to proc Illumination, you can retaliate with Charm or Foxfire.

- You might be able to poke Diana pre-6, but once she gets Lunar Rush, getting anywhere near her is a death sentence. And even if she doesn't land her Q first, she might just start with her R and kill you anyways later in the game.

- Get near him, you're dead in 2 seconds. That burst of his is murderous, and forces Lux to rush Zhonya, something that delays her Athene's or Morello and thus leaves her with continued mana problems. There's little Lux can do otherwise if Talon targets her.

- Pre-6, you can poke him. Once he gets Riftwalk, he's your worst nightmare. Riftwalk dodges will make your skillshots frequently miss, and his natural resistance to magic damage makes him harder to kill than your typical assassin. There's just no way to be safe against Kassadin.

Heck, there are also other Champions who counter Lux pretty hard that don't go mid-lane:

- See that "!" over your head? You're probably already dead. Rengar can kill Lux in two shots easily before she can shield herself, and Light Binding won't stop Rengar's knife from coming down on your head. Critgar builds, in particular, can instantly kill you even if you have a Zhonya.

- If you're the target of a high-AD Jarvan, you're kinda screwed. Lux has no mobility outside of Flash to escape Cataclysm, and Jarvan can easily catch her with his E+Q combo. Cataclysm alone can take off about half your health if J4 builds high AD.

Bottom line, Lux is not OP. Stop complaining about her and get back to bitching about Darius.

EDIT: If you're still going to go on "Lux is OP!", Riot said that they would look into nerfing her E's blast radius if the changes to it made it too reliable.
