Interesting guide with clear explanations and some very nice coding ideas, +1 to motivate.

If you don't make any explanations about items and runes advising to look other guides, maybe put a link towards the one or the ones you recommend. (still think a super short chapter made by you would be better)

Otherwise you could maybe place "Lux" somewhere in the title, "Season 8 Light" makes it not that obvious it is a guide about Lux ;)

There are some stuff on here I disagree with, one being if you're going take ignite then its probably why all the match ups are mostly at red. Barrier/heal is probably best.

I dont think Akali, Annie, Fizz, Yasuo and Katarina are that hard to deal with I would say they are yellowish. Akali after 6 dashes straight into you so you can snare her for an easy combo, you out range annie by alot and can burst her down well too. You can use your range against fizz and look for a combo oppurtinuty after he uses trickster. Yasuo, you can place your e on yourself and since hes melee he cant really block that with windwall since its on yourself so he will get hit making trading more easy. Your shield absorbs Kats ult dmg and since shes a standing target you can burst her faster than she can burst you at 6.

Hey Dinae (dino),
I was just reading through your guide and i love the design! I just wanted to point out some things I saw in order to help you with furthering your guide:

1. Your pros section is really... broad. I would come up with pros such as 'great poking ability' and be more specific

2. Lich Bane isn't a good item on Lux, as it is too dangerous. You even said yourself that you should be in the backline throwing out your spells. If you buy lich bane, either the passive will go to waste or you will be too close. Other items are better.

3. Luden's Tempest- you said that you need to buy it early for it's damage, but remember that it does more than just that. It gives movement speed for dodging, running to objectives, etc and is a really amazing item. Not to mention, the proc will help when poking before teamfights/in lane.

4. Abyssal Mask should be a situational item, as it serves a purpose.

5. "She is unable to carry" is false. As Lux, I normally do the most damage on my team. She has good lockdown with her Q, a shield for her team, AOE long range poke from her E, and an ultimate that ****ing hurts lol. She is more than able to carry if played right.

6. On your masteries, I would still add in other alternatives For example, you chose Bounty Hunter . You may want to add in 'if you play a more passive Lux, you should take Oppressor '. There have been games where I have gone 2-0-20. This wouldn't get me that 3-5% damage increase. It's based on personal preference. Same goes for Assassin ! I prefer the buscuits as well, but Assassin is great! You are a solo laner, so it will always proc while in lane phase. Not to mention, it helps with a damage increase when sniping. It reads 'as long as there is no other enemy near YOU'!

7. Remember that Ahri and Aurelion Sol have amazing movement speed (gap closers) to get to Lux. Ahri is able to R away from your Q. Movement is an important factor in this game, especially for immobile champions like Lux

8. Azir, even though he got nerfed, is still very strong. A good Azir will E to you and use his ultimate to fling you into the jungler/team. You will be dead. He also has great range and an escape.

9. Will you add in a chapter on summoner spells? I only use Ignite if I NEED it versus a Vladimir and such, otherwise I think Lux shouldn't be in range to use it. I love Barrier/ Teleport on her. What if you are against a Veigar or Varus? You may need Cleanse! See what I mean? Every game is different and your summoner spells should change.
10. I am very confused by your runes. The picture shows some scaling with some flat AP? I would also make suggestions for different types of runes. What will I do when I am against an AD mid? I need that armor from the seals. Or if I am against a LB? I NEED that magic resist in order to survive her crazy burst!

11. I know that flat AP glyphs sound great, but I would really suggest scaling. While flat may seem better because it provides almost 11AP at the start of the game, but scaling gives more overall, not to mention it surpasses the flat glyphs after level 7. You get to level 6 rather quickly, and your burst will really shine after level 6 anyways. The flats can be used for early damage, but scaling works better in Lux's favor.

12. I would add other situational items, as every game will be different.

I know you are still working on this build and I love all the colors and art! I think that feedback is the best way to learn and get better, so I provided some pointers that may help you. Take what I say as a grain of salt and do what you think is best! Great effort!
Happy lasering!

Lux is an AP Carry, so why would you take masteries from the Resolve Tree and not the Ferocity? I am fairly certain that Sorcery, Double Edged Sword , Expose Weakness , Natural Talent and Oppressor are ALL better masteries than any other Resolve might offer.

A good part of your matchups is waaaaaay off. Syndra and Ekko are not THAT hard, and I hardly even play Lux these days.

In the "Pros" section: "Rewarding", "Powerful Mage" and "Awesome Lasor" are very abstract and I have NO idea what you mean with it. In fact, it almost looks like you were struggling to find pros to playing Lux. Also, "Unable to carry hard"? Seriously? How so? Lux is one of the most OBNOXIOUS champions to play against when she is fed. One laser and you're out of lane or dead. I don't understand this.

Honestly, Lich Bane is kind of garbage on Lux. Late game the only thing you need to do is Q > E > R and they are most likely dead. You are forgetting that Lux's R triggers her passive, you don't even need to get up close and personal (which would not be good in your situation, since Assassins are a thing), nor do you want to do that. Besides, her cooldowns are so long, that making effective use of the passive is going to be more trouble than it is worth.

You don't even justify why Abyssal Mask is not a good item on Lux. IMO, it can work in certain situations and should not be entirely scrapped.

Where are the optional runes? What should I take against a Zed or a Yasuo? I am prettu sure in this case Armour Seals are better.

5% BONUS armour and MR won't even come to effect because you WON'T BE BUILDING ANY!!!1111 You are not a friggin' tank, you need to build damage, not defense.

Honestly, I'd personally switch to the Ferocity Tree, since it gives way better options.

I think this is all I had to say about this guide. In the end, it has some raw potential, but you need to work on it. Good luck.
