I was told she counters any high mobility champions O_o

That is, of course, if you land your Q.

But it's nearly impossible to land your Q on high mobility champs. That doesn't make much sense.

^ this

I played her a lot recently on a smurf but I kept playing against free week Morganas that could push harder and still had less mana issues than me D:

She's ok I guess, but not great.

Thanks to MissMaw for the signature!

Same thing that happened to Ashe:

Play her as support!!!!

"THA' LIGHT! DERP!"


It looks like Riot really tried to push that job onto her.

Master the arts of skillshooting.
Go bot with some AD.
Skill everything once first and than max that shield of yours.
Be the ***** that nails everything on the floor!

She's viable and works fine, people just prefer Morg, Cass, Ahri etc over her.

If you are good with Skillshots and positioning, Lux is perfectly viable since she has brutal range. I personally prefer her over Ryze, since I'm rather bad with Champions that have no skillshots.

But.. it's way simpler to play Ryze, so I recommend him instead. His abilities can't miss, he is a tanky bruiser and way stronger in teamfights with his consistent damage output.

Also, keep in mind, she is easily countered by Bruisers or Assassins that can 'hop' on you. Basically... Anything that isn't easily kited or has the option to dodge your Q with abilities.

Currently I play a lot on my smurf account with Lux. For the most part I have to say, you HAVE to make an impact before the laning phase ends or before level ~13. Else you didn't exploit her potential for deadly ganks on other lanes. A long range snare + long range damage is often a guaranteed kill. You can play her similar to Sion, clear wave and run around. But you have to keep track of the enemy jungler and your own opponent - 2 wards are optimal. If your opponent follows you to other lanes, wait for him in a good brush (Wards are vital to see where he runs) and harass/kill him. If he doesnt follow, a laser is often enough to ensure a kill top/bot.

BUT, overall - Ryze is much easier, more consistent and has less counters. It's a matter of playstyle whether you play Lux or not.

@Winter: Im very sure u said in Skype bout Lux that she is a bad support&mid and basicoly unviable.
I saw Potatis own with Lux sometimes, so i guess she is kay.
