One of these days you'll make a thread I won't have to auto-downvote.

That's what I keep telling myself, anyways.

She just spam snares and if she hit once you die.

Countering Lux

Step one- pick any champ with an ounce of mobility ( Ahri Fizz Zed Yasuo Leblanc Katarina )

Step 2- dash around, pretty easy to dodge a slow moving skill shot.

Step 3- burst her down when she doesn't have snare up

Pretty easy actually. Build a little MR, GG

The same could be said about Nidalee yet her spears got nerfed multiple times. Lux can just spam that shit until she hits, even if you have a mobile champion if she hits, once you die.

Don't know how you spam on a 15 Sec cool down, plus if you try playing a little defensively (Behind minions), it's pretty easy not to get hit by it. Also, not exactly the fastest moving thing in the world. Also your argument can be said about ANY burst mages. why don't we just nerf them all?

Not you, TeemoXNidalee. Sorry if it seems like i meant it that way.

Lux has counterplay, but if played well she is hard to counter. She has a lot of utility and self-peel, so you need either Zed tier mobility or Olaf/Irelia/Sion tier tenacity to actually reach her in large fights. Then when you finally reach her she activates Zhonya's, then flashes and ults. Bam you just lost the fight. Keep in mind that's just to counter her. There are 4 other players on her team.

She has a very good and safe kit for winning games. Laning phase is the easiest time to deal with Lux, it's after the laning phase that she can become tricky to deal with. The thing is, she doesn't really do everything by herself (which is probably why she's never complained about or banned). However, she synergizes well with a lot of the roster and can fit in pretty much any comp.

The same champs that can manage her in lane, can't do so the same way in teamfights. Plus, she can still be useful to her team from behind thanks to her utility. Can't say the same for her counters.

EX: 1/5 Lux >>>>>>>>>>>>> 1/5 Zed Ahri Fizz

You can still win a game with a Lux that had a bad early game, while in the same situation her counters would just be nothing but a liability. In that sense, the best counter to Lux is picking a champion with an equal amount of utility. That way, after the laning phase you're still useful to your team, regardless of how you did early (just like Lux).

Okay, fair enough. I used to play Lux alot before she got really popular (Hipster alert), and if you play her right she's hard to kill. She has massive kill potential from a far also has great utility for the team. She can act like a support that deals massive amount of damage.

But, (I hate always using this argument), almost any champ can great and hard to kill if played right. Maybe not to a certain LUX level, but they can. It all depends on the player controlling the champ. I've been dummied by people i should have countered, I've dummied people that should have countered.

One thing that she depends on, that you could counter on, is the fact that she needs her burst to basically one shot people, or else she'll probably die. Also, people often forget, but you can still attack, use spells, (do anything but move) while hit by Lux Q. So if she moves up to proc her passive, attack her then. Flash as an offensive option is also really strong against Lux, the closer you get to her, the weaker she is i find.

I don't have too many issues with Lux personally, I just feel that she's a lot stronger than most people give her credit for. Her damage is good, but I don't feel that's the strongest thing about her. I mean her popularity and winrate are both high for a reason (even in this season where most people think mages are "weak").

Lux no counterplay? Dodge. Tristana very safe and good at taking towers which is really strong right now. Zed literally the assassin with the most counterplay in the game. Legit one of the most unreliable assassins in the game right now. His late game is so bad.

I'm talking about AP zed instakilling you with a basic attack because of his passive.

dangopeeDec 8, 20151 votes

10% of max HP magic damage. Instakill. I'm getting trolled.
