Looks great and detailed! +1

Consider replacing Lich Bane though, as the above poster said ^

I guess this is a good guide.But,what my view of Lux I have now that she is sniper kinda champion.Throws spells from pretty long range and not letting to be hit from anything.You use Lich Bane.That is what puts me in the pickle.It is still needed to land an attack,ranged though,but still you are getting closer.Would it be still viable to replace it with an early RoA?

This guide is so copyrighted after me...seriously. Your rune choices are exactly like mine, but I don't mind that, I don't see anyone taking greater seal of vitality other then me. Everyone else goes to Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration. Your masteries are pretty much like mine as well, everyone runs Expanded Mind over Good Hands except me. But you gotta have Havoc . +3 AP to low scaling abilities is pretty much useless, you'll be dealing 1 extra damage at level 1~6 and after that Havoc will deal about 4 or more damage. Nobody really cares about that.
  • Aside from that, your pros and cons look kinda weird. Actually separate them with columns or something, too squished together.
  • Not to mention your masteries section and your cheat sheet masteries don't even match. Clearly you read one of my guides and bothered not to change it.
  • Please just remove Clarity...
  • Mention that philosopher's stone is only viable for support Lux. AP Lux shouldn't touch this item.
  • Deathfire Grasp isn't bad...put it in situational items. Damage is more important than range as you have 2 crowd control effects already you don't have to stay back the entire time. If so, why even have Lich Bane? You're obviously going to auto-attack to activate Illumination, so you'll be in range.
  • It's just too colorful. Think of the children and people who get seizures!

Meh. I was the first person to up-vote this guide anyways. Just wanted to leave feedback, LEGITIMATE feedback.

Her Q and E got decent scaling 0,6 and 0,7 if I remember correctly.. that's not outstanding but not bad at all it's average.

Even a second deathcap would be better than shurelias.. at least in my opinion. Otherwise.. yeah I'll look forward to that grail item as well.

Mhm if you have always bad teammates you shouldn't care about them .. lul if they die cuz they engage 4v5 don't even try or just snipe from afar everything else would be bad. In my opinion Lux is one of those mages that can avoid to die like freaking easy .. slow, doublesnare + shield AND sometimes teammates:D

and btw.. most of the points I stated out aren't even done in my own guide yet.. lol .. since I am changing it right now and adding several sections.. should have made the minor changed before I guess.

1. The infamous anti-caster, who just hurts. Unlike Kassadin, LeBlanc has the tendency to burst like a mad women. 1 death could be the end... For any caster. She is really the counter to any mage and if you see LeBlanc just do not pick Lux. Try to pick someone with a stun like Vieger.

- Vieger --> Veigar
- Actually LB isn't that big of a problem for Lux she is way easier than kassadin.
Found a way to counter her even with Lux a long while ago luls :P But you'll have to wait for me to finish the guide changes.. :D

2. Still not sure about Shurelias ... usually you get 1 on support and actually quite often top or jungle. 1 is okayish 2 is enough by far. And you kinda waste burst for it if you need the 40% speed that means you are out of position :P

3. Skilling W on lvl 3 makes lane way easie

4. Getting Q on one just works way better :P for lane, for invading, to avoid an early gank

5. You take brute force.. thought about it for a while as well since Havoc is kinda BS but well.. even if it's just 10-20 dmg it could secure the kill. And since you won't do that many normal hit's it's still more dmg than brute force. Even tho it makes lasthitting way easier so I understand that.

6. I know people say Good Hand is better than Expanded Mind .. but tbh that's just false if you play a good Lux if you ever get more than 3-4deaths with her you play her wrong:P

7. - Doesn't have a Late Game
Are you serious about that? Her scalings are quite insane and she can burst down their carries faster and with more range than any1 else (expect xerath) that's just not true. :P

8. CV is **** on lux since the remake. The CD is way too long.

9. You sometimes use then when you have to use than.

10. DfG is not "unviable" on her it's just not that good. Since you won't get in range that often.

11. Veigar is actually a counter to Lux. If he is a good one.. which you rarely face.

Your guide is quite cool the build is almost the same than mine so it would be weird if I didn't like it. Your colors still suck, lol. But all in all it's a great guide and definitely deserves a higher rating/ranking.

koksi :D


All valid points... But Really Koksei, have you found an item that is worth getting on Lux that is AP beside the items i have? I have yet to find any item like that... I'm really hoping on that grail thing that is coming out. THAT is what im HOPING to replace shurelya's. Grammar :< I'll go fix veigars name damn it... LB Still haven't figured her out D: I've tried to throw my E Where she is before she distorts and then try to Q her when she comes in, but she just does so much damage T_T I get level 2 W just because of it :/. The 2 at 3 is valid. I've been liking that more. getting 1 point in each skill and then continuing on. I've never liked getting Q first T_T. It just never has helped me. Only when we are invading have i got Q first. And even if I get E It can reveal positions too. Its pretty much a super short ward. I've taken Good Hands over Expanded mind, cause i've always have had bad team mates >.> So i need those seconds off :< And yes she doesn't have a late game :O Only thing that scales amazingly is her R. Her E is sub par late, and her Q is also somewhat subpar compared to Morgana's or Lulu. I'll change CV. If you cant use DFG its unviable :/. You will never be able to combo with that item, safely. Since lux just dies to melee, having DFG would be no use : /. You would have to get it at like 20 minutes for it to work, since melee are not super tankish yet.
Thanks for the review :D I'm revamping everything! So Pics and everything like that im working on to get. So uh dem grammar mistakes? I'll try to find them all '-__- Gonna be a hell of a work though T_T

Quoted:

CnC:

You should add some space between banners, pictures, dividers etc and text.
center all the videos and images in the guide.
You can take a look at either jhoi's templates, or seraz's templates cause most of the chapters are poorly formated :p
masteries section needs space. like I said before, add some space between banners, pictures, dividers etc
the items section looks really messy and is hard to follow.
The Sequence, and How To, of Lux's Skills chapter:
- it's not very appealing to use red for so much text (the passive)
- i even think that the yellow text is overwhelming
too much color in Champions vs. Lux, and it has no formating
if you're going ap i don't think you need shurelya's


So yeah, the thing that bothers me is that there is little to no formatting in the guide, so the layout is lacking and it's hard to follow the guide from start to end. Check the templates from Jhoi's guide, or perhaps Searz's templates. YOu could even read Creamy's guide on columns and think of a unique format. You also need spacing between the images and text and less color.

Otherwise it's a pretty neat guide, so I plus'd it.


Discussed shurelya's like a mad man... I've talked to literally everyone about it. I have an entire chapter and section the damn thing. I also have a thread dedicated talking about it >.> So Missmaw that is rather ignorant of you not to read either :< Format is something I agree to work on. I'm still new to the damn bbcode thing, so i'm working on it atm. And the colors... I don't abuse the colors >.> Only part in which are use them are in 2 chapters... Its not that hard to read... If everyone can look at flashing lights and look at LoL all day... Or any game for that matter, why can't you read some damn colored writing >.> Not that hard. Suck it up Missmaw :3.
So thanks for the review! I appreciate it, but most of your things have been stated and answered. Only thing that hasn't is the format. I'll change all that when I add pictures. I'm currently trying to do that.

I would recommend changing your Seals into anything with mana regen. Lux has such poor mana costs she really needs mana regen badly.
Shurelya's is pretty bad on AP casters, I suggest a Deathfire Grasp or a Banshee's Veil.
Improved Recall is baddddd, I'd rather take some more mana/mana regen/movement speed. Lux is all about those stats.
Work on those colors 0o I head a minor headache already but this did not make it better...
You might also want to change the chapter order, why would you talk about items before even explaining about her skills? If I don't know what Lux is and what she does I might just as well build tank stuff or AD carry :/
And there are quite a lot of grammar mistakes, which is quite annoying.

Just some tips, take it or leave it :)
P.S. I did not read any other comments here so sorry if things have been mentioned before ;)


K, well I do talk about the seal :O Its a personal preference. But I can change it. I do talk about it Icecreamy >.> As an optional rune... So uh yeah... On shurelya's you can look on everything I said with Missmaw^ Also if you looked at the guide, I give an entire optional route to it >.> So if you dislike shurelya's use that build >.> I might just add it to the guide cheatsheet when I revamp everything. Why is Improved Recall bad? I've always liked it, since it just makes me recall faster >.> That 1 second off has saved me alot of times >.> I talk about the Items before hand, since that is how i view things. I talk about things in this order: Pregame (Masteries, Runes, Summoner Spells), Game Itself (Items, Skills, Gameplay) I talk about items first because it just made sense. Why talk about something that is more related to gameplay then anything? Grammar i shall work on, and formating also. So yeah.
So ty for the review :D I Appreciate it <3 Also thought you didn't read the comments, you should read the guide at least... Not just go over everything lol... Cause some of your critics show that you actually haven't read the guide... Or at least notice things >.>
