Beta Attempt to Restore Lux's Movement :D

So I hop on the beta section, it's looking amazing so far, the preview looks quite nice, although, maybe it would be better just to have this box look exactly like the preview. However the biggest awesome would be showing Lux her long lost 10 movement speed she's lost. 330 doesn't suit her at all when there are so many gap closing assassins. She doesn't start with much armor, and her abilities don't shine that well 1v1 if she can't get her passive off. I am one summoner who put much effort into helping Lux get balanced since season 1. I felt Lux was solid, as nothing needed to be done, she wasn't over powered or under powered, until she lost her 10 movement speed. So I'm back again, to restore an unbalanced Lux, Beta Community style!

I do want to note though, I am open to other things as well. Such as her shield giving a flat or percentage of mr and armor during shield life, and/or adding ad ratio, and/or buffing her passive to make the riskier move worth while, and/or damage percent buff when fighting solo champions. Please remember that I do not feel that any of this is needed if Lux receives her 10 movement, however, having an ad ratio on a skill would be pretty sweet to have. It would seem that the ad ratio would be for the snare as it is liner.

Also please consider that majority of Lux players are not Froggen or Scarra. Feels like the movement nerf was focusing those players, which isn't right since the community isn't any where at their level. Also, Froggen just loves Lux, don't try and force him to play another champ :P

but... 10 ms is so little... and you want % resists in exchange? are we talking like... .05% resists?

Lets be real, 10 ms on lux, an orbital mage that can self peel, is next to nothing. As far as nerfs go, its basically placebo to appease GD.

I was figuring more on the lines of 5% with 1% increase with every 50ap. It's really not much. I figure it would mostly benefit tanks as carries generally do no build that much armor/mr. However I did mention flat, but i feel flat could be more powerful than intended. 5/10/15/20/25~ At that rate, i feel like lux would be a walking iron solari, however the flat mention would probably make her a more viable support at that point.

I get 500 AP per game on lux. that is 25% Resists. Lets say that carry is sitting at 50 armor and MR because math is hard and that seems reasonable for them to have. 25% of 50 is 12.5. You are bumping the carries resists to 62.5.

Each Armor/Mr is +1% effective health. You just bumped the carries effective health buy 12.5%, while also giving him sheild health. lets say he got to 1800 hp, because again, math is hard. 12.5% of 1800 is ~ 260 HP, not including the shield.

This is only the carry. Now imagine this applied to the entire team, twice. Remember, lux's shield bounces.

So, is +260HP to the squishiest and most dangerous champion worth 10ms? I don't really think it is, but I know 10 ms sure as heck isn't worth that on your entire team, not to mention doubled.

I think you either greatly overestimate what 10ms is worth, or greatly underestimate the value of % resists.

Edit: math is hard, that should be 15%, still, do the math, it sure as heck isn't the same as 10 ms. Its worth more.

Lux's small nerfs didn't really hit her that hard. It's a little sad to not have a 24 sec CD on ult now and she's a tad bit slower but she's never been either under or overpowered. She can still kite fine so long as you land your skill shots unless it's an Olaf. Gap closing assassins are annoying as a Lux but still far from impossible to escape from.

If Lux is going to receive any change,s I'd just say a couple of QoL changes. I'd still like Lux's passive to give vision of the target affected by it and I think it'd be nice if her shield gave vision if thrown into a brush/fog of war. Yes her E gives vision as well but it's rather mana inefficient earlier in the game. Even without these changes Lux is still a fine champion. The meta is simply not suiting her right now as the meta is bound to do to many different champions.

agreed. meta is the issue here. not the champion. Lux is pretty balanced

ShibikoOct 30, 20131 votes

yeah I totally agree. As a light mage she should be able to see her targets if she lights them up. Her shield could be quite cool if it could simply light up an enemy. I think adding her passive using the shield would be cool. It still does no damage until she autos. I don't really find her mana inefficient too much, but that is most likely due to how i build her.

A champion with some of the longest range spells in the game, including kiting utility like a double target snare and an AoE slow, does not need to also be fast.

So as a side note, anyone think a school girl Lux or pom pom/flag girl lux skin would be cool?
