My name in game is gaspininja. i'm 16 yo, and I've been playing Lux since march-april 2017. I'm platinum, trying to get to diamond (I've gotten to platinum 1). Before lux I always played midlane, usually ahri/orianna/syndra. Lux is my beloved champion as she's pretty much unique, her damage is insane, and nobody knows her full potential. you can pretty much always oneshot your enemies, and insanely burst out people even when they don't think you will. Your w is really good, prevents you from dying 80% of the times, honestly, and people don't realize how good her shield is.

PROS:
good wave clear
high range
useful for ur team
easy kills with your combo
can steal nashor easily with e-q-r-e

CONS:
bad mobility
easy ganked
depends on skill-shots and positioning A LOT

Of course, q-e-r. Wow. Amazing. Okay, the basic combo is q-e(throw)-r-aa-e(explode)-aa. You should 85% of the times kill using that.

Other than that, if you wanna flash to land on the q and then proceed to kill, try using q-flash as there's a minor time to react to it.

remember your ult procs your passive

You can use e-r to clear waves SO easilly. SUPER recommended when you wanna push fast and recall, you wanna clear the wave super fast so your tower is safe or when you wanna roam and you know you won't need your ultimate.

Farm the whole early game and try to poke from time to time with your E. Never use your q until you are threatened with a gank or the enemy tries to approach you, or you are getting ganked.

Kills before 6 require practise, knowing your damage and your opponent's + dodging skills. Otherwise you won't get any. Once you are 6, if you have lost chapter, you can oneshot your enemy if they don't have magic resistance.

you can try and go for some quick roams on bot and top, always with your ult (at least, whenever you can). My experience when roaming? It usually doesn't work unless you are ahead and you can kill the adc alone, 'cause usually bot lane doesn't follow your calls. if you are ganking top lane, on the other hand, you'll probably be followed, but you also may get baited or outplayed.

Other than roaming, try farming, getting any kills you want easily with an easy combo, and get objectives.

You just want to play for easy picks and objectives. once you root somebody, you probably can kill them or your team will help you get an easy start kill for probably a won teamfight, or an easy drake/tower. Watch out when getting caught, you easily throw games.

You'll throw games or you'll win them. you stealing nashor, drake or getting an easy pick will win you games. getting wrong-positioned, getting caught and going in the first one will lose you games. get a good position, with your team, or safe from wards, and you'll be mostly okay.

if you are losing lane, just try to farm under tower, clear waves, and roam for easy kills on bot lane and getting drake afterwards. In this scenario, maximise w and try to help your team rather than feeding yourself. You can extend the game for as long as you want with your big capacity of wave clear with e and ultimate.

to learn things from mid-lane, ways to steal objectives and seeing the dmg you are able to do and time it and such, how to poke, and such useful things, you should watch:

- Scarra (he was in LCS, really good player, Master-challenger, his streams and youtube videos usually teach you things you should know about. he doesn't usually talk about Lux, but he's a mid laner, so you'll learn useful things in any case)
- Kaypea (she's a gold-platinum player, she's mained lux and a couple more mid-champions, you learn, with time, how to steal everything with your abilities, and how to time it, as you'll see a lot of times how she does it)
- Yozu (he's a challenger streamer (if im not wrong about the rank) who's a lux OTP)
