Yes she does.

Lux's damaging spell ratios -
0.7
0.6
0.75

They're all SKILLSHOTS, all of which on long cooldowns. No real major CC.

Annie's ratios -
0.7
0.75
0.7
She has an AoE STUN, and most of her damage is instant. Her W, though cone damage, for example, hits immediately. None of Lux's abilities do that.

They're all relatively easy to land. As I say, the ratios are low in relation to difficulty. Since both are burst mages, and Annie's skills are on far lower cooldowns, and Annie has higher bases, it's clear who's the superior choice.

Lux in a lane isn't bad. It's her late game where she falls off. Of course, it's not hard to land her abilities, nor is it hard to land many abilities in this game, though having a point and click ability is assured damage, a good laner can dodge many skillshots. Assured damage >>>> anything with even a small chance of being dodged.


You were faster than me

Lux is not that great pick, but she can be useful if you can land skills

Xenasis absolutely explained it. Lux can do almost the same damage as Annie and other AP carries if you land all her skills, but it's a lot easier to do that on other champions and Lux's skills have longer cooldowns even if you can hit them.

Jep i think all to lux is said.
One fiddel also his Ultimate isn't made for mid.
You need to channel it befor you jump to the enemy in mid you have bothe side brushes for for that. But whitch enemy with a brain will stay near them if you go into them?
On the other hand you could cast it open. But then he either cc you or just walks away . So his hole kit is kind of usless in lane

Lol, Lux vs Annie mid, Lux wins anytime. First thing is; she can easily zone Annie with her abilities, it's actually pretty easy to land an E on them if they're typical AP Casters and start Doran's Ring. Lux does way more DPS early game than Annie, because of her passive too, she can farm like a queen. Other than that, her ulti almost hurts as much as Annie's but it's sick longer and sick much harder to avoid.

Tell me Lux isn't a good AP carry. I'll roflcopter :)

But Lux can snipe from long range. And she has CC as in snare/slow, and she has an AoE shield. She has a way longer range.

Anyways that is just a matter of preference... I am having more fun with Lux than with Annie, so I play Lux often. Also "right-click-win" champions are kinda boring to me... Sometimes it is fun but only when I am bored :P

Which leaves me with this. With Lux I can take down a squishy with 1 combo, with Annie I can't. Perhaps it is my unskilledness with Annie, but...

I don't see Annie in mid often either :P

I'm telling you Lux isn't a good AP carry. :D

That's you, Annie has higher damage and scaling on all her skills.

But yeah, Annie's not that great at the moment anyway, so a better example might be Xerath or Morgana.

^ I am in agreement with this. Currently Lux has no place in the game. Sad but true. Too long cooldowns to be AP carry, but the shield doesn't make her a good support either.

Riot, I demand buffs right now to make her even more broken OP :D

Name one way in which Lux is better than Morgana, and I'll give you a cookie.

Give up yet?

Lux's ult is pretty good and really fun to use, but Morgana's is still ten times better. Keep trying. :P
