Can somebody explain me why are people crying out for Lux nerfs at this point?

Why after 6 years from her release are people complaining about her? in a season where bruisers/adcs run rampant and mages got the short end of the stick why? Is it because they play tank master yi/akali? I mean sure her ult has a short cooldown but it has always been like that to be honest i just played a game with her and people where crying in /all things like "Nerf Lux pls rito" and such maybe i'm too ignorant but simply i don't understand this outrage few mages at the moment are in a decent position in this meta.

The buff to her Q, the buffering change to her E.

If you think people calling for nerfs just started, you're way behind. People started complaining the moment those buffs hit live.

Her Q already made her insanely safe, combined with her range. The duration buff made her a little safer. Letting her buffer her E to explode immediately makes her damage easier than it already was. It was an unnecessary buff that made avoiding her damage impossible without wasting an escape. Thunderlord's pushed this further because all it takes is a single skill an an auto to proc it. With her range and new E functionality, she can safely and reliably poke without investing too much mana.

they mad coz bad

Seriously though it's a mystery to me as well. She hasn't changed since her double Q buff that was like October last year. The only other thing is Thunderlords? It's funny because the last time I saw a Lux get picked at LCS level the casters spent the next 10 minutes going on and on. "Lux is a bad pick that will lose this game and the only reason she got picked is because this game in particular doesn't mean anything to the ladder".

"Is it because (insert insulting sounding thing here)" is never the way to go mate. There's no reason to weave insults into your questions on the boards.

Just be respectful and maybe you'll actually get answers to your questions.

I don't see the insult here.

Why do people hate the safe mage with hard cc? Is it because (they play champions that are often the focus of hard cc)?

Is it because they play tank master yi/akali?

Building tanky items on an assassin isn't exactly considered a "good" thing on the boards. Making the assumption that the group of people you're talking about does something that is not considered "good" is an insult.

Good = strong? It's no secret that some tank assassins can be very strong at the moment. They feature a lot of mobility that a Lux Q can stop. Good = op freelo for unskilled players? That jab is exactly the kind of poorly defined rage I see at Lux lately. shrug

Really?

It's considered cheesy and skill-less. As far as the boards go that's a jail worthy offense.

Ok so the second option, by playing tankssassins you are bad and should feel bad. But like I said you can pretty easily boil down the Yi/Lux arguments to the same thing.

A good Yi will time his Qs to avoid CC and get in your face. A good Lux will position and use her Qs to keep you out of her face. They will both do a lot of damage and be hard to kill, just in different ways.

People can play tank yi/akali i dont care what i mind however is why complain about lux when you got something safer and stronger running around like tank yi/akali ?

That's where the mystery comes into it. Lux is a strong mid laner but I'm yet to see a fed Lux aggressively chase down and win a 1v5.

Thats because she doesnt need too, she can blow her kit in a tf or have a good turn around and win 1v5

I never intended to offend anyone maybe this is only me but most of the time the people complaning to me about lux are playing bruisers... I even got downvoted for asking a question whatever this community sometimes -.-".
