Sorry for the delay, just updated :)

Hi Yanaike,

Yes I remember you!! Welcome back to League :)

I absolutely will be updating my support guide soon! It's been a long time coming since the start of this season for sure and apologies for not updating it sooner- theres just so many changes and I have not had the time for my support guide yet! Even just updating this guide takes a while, especially during the beginning of the season when they drastically change builds based on item changes early on. For Lux support rn, you can either go AP and follow this guide, besides of course getting the support item (Zak'Zak is the best for AP). For support, dream maker is the best if you're going super shields! Staff -> Moonstone/shielding item -> Imperial is kinda the main build but tbh you can be really flexible with this depending on the game (ardent for a lot of attack based, etc). I hope to get it updated soon for you but I hope this helps a bit!

As for Luden's, its been a really bad item since the new season. They nerfed it heavily and took away the magic pen, which is what made it the best mythic for Lux last season. I think its gotten 2-3 buffs so starting this patch, its not a bad item at all! I would highly suggest using it if you like burst Lux, especially in the support role where your items are limited based on gold so every item counts. The reason why malignance is so good is because its just a solid item stat wise and the pool is actually really cool. Since its based on damage, ive had dragon or teamfights where I've made a HUGE puddle and it really helps a lot with zoning in fights. Also your ultimate is about 19s at level 16 if you have ultimate hunter on top of this. Once I am level 16, I will use my ultimate really liberally to get carries low right before an objective and they're forced to back, try to steal objectives, etc. There have even been fights where I get to ult twice and it feels really good! Or you can get a pick and then siege mid and have your ult back up again for their defense. Her ult with elder and malignance is also really dangerous - i have only used my ult on a full health carry and killed them with elder lol. I was really hesitant about malignance in the beginning of the season but its an overall really good item for Lux.
I do think, however, Ludens will be the go-to once its a better item since Lux's primary idea is burst. I have not played this patch enough to know if we can swap it fully over to Ludens yet but its definitely getting there. You're so right though, the gun on Lux feels out of character and almost illegal lol.
Horizon has been absolutely fantastic this season and tbh the vision exposure is insane and really underrated!!
I have been going malignance -> horizon -> rabadons in most of my games and it has felt soooo good! We will see how the patches change the Lux build though, especially bc on the PBE before this season, stormsurge and shadowflame were a really dynamic duo for Lux (and burst in general) but storm has gotten some massive nerfs since then.

I hope my explanations help and please feel free to ask any more questions if you have any. Best of Lux in your games :)

Hi!

I went ahead and created a more convenient way to view the matchups. I split them into 4 categories instead of 5 - and I even added a Table of Contents for each champion! Just click on the champion you want and it will take you right to that profile! Hopefully that helps with better convenience and visibility :)

Omg thank you so much <3

Hi Vitty,

I appreciate that a lot <3 thank you for supporting me!

Haha if you ever want, I can definitely watch a game or two to help out! It's always a great idea to watch your own games to see what you think you're doing wrong and might need to change in future games! VOD reviews are soo important for improving!

Hey, thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it!!

It really honestly depends on the matchup, I would say. Power of Evils build focuses on more consistent damage with weaving a lot of autos in, meanwhile, her traditional is more bursty and is more safe because she throws stuff from far away. The traditional also focuses on early/mid mid game damage, while PoE's focuses on more mid-late since it takes a bit to stack the Seraph's. If the game ends mid-game, the Poe build wouldn't be maximized. You're also looking at if you want to just burst down squishies and then wait 6-10s for your spells to be up again, or if you want to not do AS much damage but be able to proc your passive fast and then weave autos in between your cooldowns using Nashor's Tooth.


As for meditation vs merciless, that's more preference. I like merciless because I don't normally have too many mana problems, but meditation is definitely 200% okay. I actually usually take 2 points in merciless and 3 in meditation so You can do one or the other, or even a combination of both like I do.

PoE buys Nashor's because of the consistent damage it gives, but Liandry's isn't bad!! As for Rylais, it is kinda subpar because the slow won't really be used that much. Your Q binds them anyways, so the slow would wear off before they can move. Your normal combo is QER, so they should either be dead or you would want an item that gives you more damage so your combo can kill them. Your E slows anyways and Rylai's works better with spells you can spam, like a Karthua Q. Let's also look at the stats. Rylai's gives a little health, but it only gives 75AP. Most other items either give more AP, or they give AP with something else (Zhonya's gives 70AP but gives armor AND a really good active). Liandrys>Rylais because it gives 5 more AP AND magic pen, plus the little burn. This adds to her burst!

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions <3
