Lux is not a support, Kennen is not a nuke.


Kennen is debatable, but Lux IS a support, perhaps the most offensive one. You still build her like an AP carry, but 2 CCs and an epic team shield fit her into the support role (just look at her description, she's a support mage).
Thanks to Fatelblade for the sig!

I would disagree on both counts. ((Clearly))

1. Lux does do damage, but her shield is clearly a support skill set. She is not a traditional support like Soraka or Taric or Sona. But have no doubt she deals supplemental damage compared to Annie. But that's my opinion of her. Other classify her differently I consider her a support. And a master KSr :P

2. Kennen is a nuke. Lots of damage over short period of time. Primarily from his abilities although his auto attacks can deal damage as well. Once again that's up for debate, I'd call hima nuke.

****

I don't want to explain this again

She is a total AP carry, with support traits basically.

She is like 2ndary support, primary mage, just like Orianna, and as such should not be included in the support role in this list.

Orianna is considered one of the best nukes in the game, yet she has support traits, that doesn't mean her role is support and that she should be built supporty, that just means she has support traits. Same with Lux.

At the very least Kennen can be deamed as an AP fighter like Ryze. Short CDs capable of dealing damage. I've just always considered him a nuke. You build him essentially straight AP and watch as you stun whole teams and their HP evaporates.

Jeff

if you are writing a guide on this ****

it has to have correct info, not opinionated


just as I said above, Lux is nottt a support

if you have a guide thing that people will refer to, and they want a support, don't make it seem like Lux is a good choice.

Kennen can kinda nuke with a lot of AP, but he isn't as hard of a "nuke" as LeBlanc or Veigar.

Can we make a ****ing comprimise. Jeez, I didn't make this thread so people could piss and moan about my interpretations of champs. I made it to give information, if there is a discrepency than I will clear it up right now.

LUX-UNTRADITIONAL SUPPORT or UNTRADITIONAL MAGE. Better? Are we all happy now? Or are we going to continue to derail the thread by crying about which champs are what? To me both Lux and Orianna's damage falls off late game, they can deal nice damage but I doubt Orianna's ulti or Lux's ulti can half health a whole team like Annie's Tibbers. THAT is what seperates them from being traditional mages or traditional supports. THAT IS WHY I CATOGORIZED LUX AS SUPPORT. Thank goodness there is an edit buttong so I can go back and change stuff. I already have a headache.

lol alright, might be awhile. I'd prefer this thread to get off the ground a bit. See if it's even something people would be interested in.

The problem is that most new players won't look at the forums. I sure as hell didn't until I actually joined. I only came for the guides.

Lol "opinionated vs correct info" what does Riot call Lux? That way we have the EXACT answer...Because you saying she isn't a support or "a mage with support traits" is just as opinionated as me calling her a support :/

And it's not "****". This is supposed to be for people who need help understanding what champs do what or play as what.

I just made it because I figured it was something no one has done yet. Know what I'm sayin? I appreciate your comment though and I'll try to modify information that might be unclear.

Not trying to sound like an ***. Just stressed and thought this simple thread would be...Simple now it's just causing a headache @_@. Sorry if I came off as a d-bag.

HOOLLLY SCHNAZ chill

no hard feelings

it's just that you have the wrong idea on some things and you shouldn't give other people that idea too...

Do you seriously think their damage falls off late game...?

Orianna is widely known as like, one of the best bursts right behind Veigar...and yes, her ult CAN do half of everyone's HP...she is more dangerous than Annie for the most part because of her passive + AoE damage and slow + haste...she is hands down one of the BEST champions to have on your team...same with Lux, she deals crazy damage...

if you don't believe me, just watch Chandro's stream some time.
