Tips Against Lux as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
ShacoSupportAP says âI personally hate to play against her. I think she counters you pretty hard and you cant really engage on her (she just will q you). She can also zone your adc. She is immobile and squishy tho.â
itstsuk3 says âBullies the shit out of you early game, don't get caught by Q.
If not ahead you can bully instead but she gets strong with a single item so watch out and have a teammate with you.â
itstsuk3 says âTake Aftershock, Second Wind with Cookies if you dont think you can win Vs her. If you are confident in yourself take Glacial, Second Wind. Play around her cooldowns, Punish her for Bad Positioning and Protect your ADC if they get caught in her Q. If she has a Jhin ADC she's way harder to go against.â
Aydov says âTry not to get hit by her Q to not get hit by her all combo. If she misses her E and Q, try to engage before she gets them back. Early refillable potion is necessary.â
Dotje says âI have mixed feelings about how strong AP supports are. You get caught you die. But in the late game you always have a good chance to come back. Their skill shots are easier to dodge and you can almost always out heal her damage once you get some items. Just don't let her get fed, then she won't be too strong.â
Aerenax says âLux does a lot of damage, she will poke you down just like Karma. However, if you get on top of her, this will result in a kill as she has no mobility besides flash.â
granmuh says âI've banned this champion every game for the past 3 years. I don't care what champion I pick as support, I ban Lux.
In all honesty, Lux is not that great of a threat against Akali. I simply have a genuine hatred for Lux and refuse to play a game with her on the rift.
â
Wounds2 says âCan stop you with her slow from E and root from Q. She can be punished if she wastes Q. Over the course of the game, you become more valuable as long as your team isn't getting picked by Lux on cooldown.â
Cyclic says âSimilar to Karma. Second wind and Senna base HP health nerfs made this matchup more difficult to play since one snare and you will die while her E will do a significant chunk of your health on a relatively low cooldown. Try to take advantage and play aggressive once she wastes key cooldowns like her Q and if you can't then just play to poke with Q and outscale in laneâ
ZharMeny says âSame as Brand, but she is just more annoying, also don't forget to punish her when she goes in AA range to proc her passive with(at least) your Q. Recommended Stance: Mountedâ
Prenora says âLux is similar to vel'koz she constantly slings spells but just wait for her to make a mistake and once you get on her, she's too immobile to get you offâ
Toches says âIf she's paired with caitlyn/jhin and is hitting her stuff, she's a pain in the neck.
Otherwise, mid-late game just exhaust her after she hits a Q, because E/R are following, and she telegraphs that animation pretty well, she doesn't get enough juice to fully poke you out early, so just try to not have both you and the adc get hit by her Es.
her Q animation has a sideswipe telegraph, shouldn't be too bad to learn to dodge
really susceptible to e/flash, low mobility.â
iveye says âLux is a very immobile mage similar to Xerath, she can poke you out of lane if you play overly safe and if you dodge her Q she becomes one of the easiest targets to kill probably in all of the champion roaster as she has no way to stop you with out defensive items like Zhonya's. Lux is also the most played support so you should make sure you understand her and the match up as it will be a common one until gold+.â
mellorwastaken says âUnless she is playing with Cait, should be an easy matchup, especially in low elo where she will randomly try to hit Q and you can just walk up in her face and Q-E backwards.â
Yoshiking123 says âA good Lux will make it hard for you to engage while poking you down. Thankfully, she's immobile and we can kill her and/or her ADC easily. What I recommend is pretending to be a little bitch in the back trying to avoid poke. Your goal is to bait her into using her Q and the INSTANT she throws out Q you should Flash stun her and kill with your ADC.â
PullTrick says âLux can be pretty annoying since she heavily outranges you and can root you during your E. If the lux is wasting her abilities you can look for more points in E to punish her but otherwise I would just max Q. Wit's End and cleanse are useful here.â
cyb3r1a says âTake Aery in runes. if she hits her binding you are probably dead. dodge it at all costs. matchup is pretty straightforward otherwise.â
DARKSTARR says âShe's able to use her root to put your W on cooldown for 5 seconds, leaving you very vulnerable. Her other abilities used in a combo during this 5-second period, is deadly.â
veeixin says âI've never had a major or terrible problem ever with a Lux.
She can be very annoying with her Q and she can scare you out of a brush with an E, but she's squishy enough to where you can quickly W-E and bring her below half.
Don't be scared against her, dodge Q and you're good to go.â
gizemdeniz says âToo much range and cooldowns are super short. She has unnecessary damage. The ultimate duration is low and deals a lot of damage.â
Sorakas says âCompre escudo relicĂĄrio caso nĂŁo esteja confiante. Lux tem um poke muito forte em qualquer lane que ela esteja, e vocĂȘ precisa lembrar que a vida da Soraka importa muito mais do que a do ADC, entĂŁo nĂŁo deixe a Lux te pokear na lane phase. VocĂȘ sĂł pode soltar as suas habilidades quando a Lux tiver errado ou gastado as skills dela, caso contrĂĄrio permaneça safe na lane. Pode ser difĂcil lidar contra uma Lux de morellonomicon, se ela estiver carregando compre Benção de Mikaelâ
Fenreee says â|||SUPPORT||| Lux is just a bad support champion in my opinion. You rush Swifties if she's good, and if she's not then you can get away with Lucidity even. Janna always runs Heal and ADC takes exhaust in this lane and that results in Lux not having kill pressure unless you play it seriously wrong. Lux is mostly good for denying bush control in lane and punishing melee supports, but she has no real pressure in a Janna lane aside from lackluster poke. This means she doesn't get to pop off and snowball her damage, meaning she will play a burst mage with a support gold income and end up not having any burst. You should win this matchup off the fact that you're faster at rotating around the map, warding and ganking, aswell as the fact that your Glacial Q funnily enough has more kill pressure on her, than her combo on you due to Glacial reducing her burst and her being more squishy than you for some reason. If you have a decently strong ADC early then you can even run ignite and dance her skills and make her suffer with Swifties. â
Roltu says âZonea, Bloquea, pero de ahĂ sigue siendo una peor morgana y en realidad a menos que este fedeada, una lux como enemiga no es nada contra un thresh.â
Ekko Rush B Guides says âLux is annoying, but not a hard matchup. She is really squishy and has no mobility at all, so that gives you free W's. The only thing you have to worry about is her Q, because then she has the potential to one-shot you without you being able to ult. Buy a corruption potion early on to deal with her poke.â
PR0M3T3O says âGet magic resistance
You can do it the best, stomp her and leaving her behind, then, lvl 6, the only thing she needs to start getting kills and ruining your gameâ
L9NunuChillump says âLux is hard to play against for Nunu due to the easy poke and root going through minions she isn't totally ban worthy but proceed with caution while playing this lane and try to bait spells as best you canâ
Uzonna says âI'm using Lux, but this goes for every support mage.
This matchup sucks. You get out poked when running this build and it's hard to step up for combo without being CCed and bursted out. When against a mage, I would play safe, wait for jungle if possible, and otherwise just scale.â
unhben says âIf Lux decides to max E, she can very easily clear your turrets. Keep her busy and max them so they gain health quick and stay alive longer. Matchup is even from there. Poke with E and W often once manaflow is stacked if taken. â
Melyn says âIt's important to play up with your ADC so they don't get zoned by her spells (which outrange yours). Especially when she hits 6, there's a lot of one shot potential so you may wish to flash if a Q is going to land.
Don't get baited by her W shield, it can shield a lot.â
Sellorio says âLux outclasses most supports in the game with her high-damage, spammable, long range abilities. It's why I like playing her so much but it's also a pain in the ass cause even if you ignore her ludicrous poke, she also has a CC and is guaranteed to end you if she lands a Q mid-late game (or early if she gets ahead).â
OakuMarai says âGood poke, annoying burst. Don't facecheck crap and ward well. Aery or Elec with celerity. Don't stand too close to your ADC or you'll both get hit by her spells.â
NotAragami says âVery VERY annoying to deal with. She outtrades you, has better range and can shield both herself and her ADC twice. Lux support mains are pests and there's everywhere in SEA servers, ban worthy. â
huirats says âPoke mages are annoying, at the very least you'd get even trades, but they'll probably win trades. If you get hit by her stun after lvl 6 you're dead.â
Twday says âthis is really just hit or miss. you either get a bad lux which you can destroy easily, or a decent lux with a brain which will screw you up as much as morganaâ
BIG BRAIN MAN says âWhen you shunpo onto her, instantly W and walk to the side to dodge her snare in melee range. If you can get a lead by killing her or using teleport somewhere, then you will be in a great spot. â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âAlways make sure youâre stood behind at least 2 minions so she is unable to root you with her Light Binding(Q). If Lux uses her Q and it misses, use the cooldown of this ability to play aggressive as she will be unable to protect herself and prevent the all-in. Mitigate Luxâs E effectiveness by standing behind and not inside the minion wave. This will make her choose between using her Lucent Singularity(E) to poke with or to push with.â

M4DN355 says âAs long as you are able to dodge her Q effectively, then fighting her is a breeze, although laning phase against her is difficult due to her high damage poke and shields for both her and her ADC. Later game, she's an easy kill as long as you dodge her Q.â
Mr Jamba Juice says âDShard: MR; Becomes an Even Matchup after some experience. Glacial Augment makes it harder for her to escape you after she uses her spells. She has every possible tool she needs to make his Laning Phase hell. However, if you play your cards right, this lane is playable. A good Lux (mind the irony here) will have Total Bush Control, so play outside the Bushes at all times. Play Parallel to your ADC so you don't get 2-Man Rooted or Ulted. Your Stun does not, I repeat, NOT, cancel her Ult Channel. Try to go around it. If you can't, shield some of the Damage with W, then Q yourself and ADC to regain the lost Health. Your level 1 is stronger than hers if she plays too aggressive, which a bad Lux will certainly do, and will Overstep, allowing you to hit a free Stun off on her, or at least blow her Flash. Buy Swifties if possible to have more Movement Speed available to dodge her Q (and in turn shake off some of her E slow), or if you have trouble Side-Stepping, get Merc Treads early to shun off some of the Root Length. Take Unflinching instead of Revitalize into her, as well as Legend: Tenacity. Your Recovery Tools are already much stronger than hers as it is.â
Jageiko says âLux is feared by a lot of Supports. Let me tell you: Not by Poppy. She is one of the squishiest champs in the game (Sona Lux Zyra) all in her as soon as you see her and snowball. Just have to focus on dodging the Q or baiting it.â
babyyspace says âLux root can be a pretty bad threat due to it hitting the first two targets meaning you have to stand behind two minions not just one.â
RoseOfInnistrad says âLux does a lot of damage, does it from a screen away, does it while shielding her allies, and does it while rooting you and slowing you with an unmissable ability.â
Slept god says âLux has good poke and her q bind can stop your engage with that being said without her q she can't stop you of you have Swiftys with the slow resists â
MorBidMike says âi dont like it, but it exist. get that mikaels and stay on your toes. don't play dismounted and instead just stay mounted and rely on dodging.â
Bazekda says âYou get hit by one root and there goes half your HP. You can't outrange her ever, try to get cheeky portals on her with your jugnler, mid laner or ADCâ
PrismaticShield says âShe outranges you in a frustrating way, but you can outplay her if you and your adc dive her early and build up faster than her. Banshee's Veil is a must against a strong Lux.â
Navn says âIf you get binded, you're doomed. And since it passes through minions, its a really bad time. She's got a ton of range so landing Q is also going to be really hard to even get some hp back from her poke.â
Navn says âHer poke is just as good as yours, so this lane is entirely dependent on who is pushing. The person pushing the lane will win this match-up, but she is a pretty easy arrow target later.â
spirit legacy says âIt seems like a very annoying lane to deal with, but you can easily bait most lux player's abilitys by moving alot. try to bait her spells and as soon as she misses her q she's very open for an hard engage. She only wins the lane if she constistantly hits her E. â
Challenger Project says âAbuse early levels. The problem with all enchanters is all the same - if we donât snowball early hard, we fall off and get outscaled.â
Maxwell_Shaco says âEarly game can be a bit rough since her poke can be painful and her root deadly.
Just be careful of her root, help your ADC farm up and in the mid to late game you can abuse her immobility to bully her with traps and shiv.â
rocco521 says âThe only scary thing with lux is if they also have a caitlyn. If you get poked out too low its really hard for you to play the game. Try to just dodge her spells and live lane. But if you get onto her she will die if you have help.â
anniesniffer69 says âstupid ugly femsub... if you dodge her Q and E try to spank her to death. after level 6 be more careful cuz she spams her ult whenever she wants.â
Brizz Valentine1 says âDifficult line in my experience
You can play with aery to try to trade with her or you can play with guardian and runes to hold lane and be useful later
His poke is quite annoying online he has more range than you But he is immobile and you can try to answer his poke, ask your jungler for help here and at low level he has a 10 second cooldown and your w has more than 20 seconds. Max Q to poke or E to wait for jungle helpâ
Demonsedge90 says âFacing a Lux is a relatively easy matchup, but if you get caught too much by her q, then you will not able to do much in fights.â
Cordiall says âLux isn't much of a threat to Braum, though if she gets ahead she can definitely do damage. Her E slow followed by her Q root isn't easy to dodge, but if you stay close to minions you can W away from it to dodge it. You can also take advantage of the knowledge that her root is down to all-in and kill her, if your ADC is on the same page as you.â
ARealFakeIdentity says âAs she out-ranges and out-damages you, Lux poses quite a problem, use bushes to avoid skillshots and rely on playing far enough back that you will not easily get hit.â
hampenguin says âEasily the most annoying champ to lane against, she'll do 30% HP with one E so you need to wait until 3 because you need your entire kit to kill her or survive.â
TheKingUltra says âHas only one damage combo, which is easy to predict, she also has very poor mobility, you can get a few kills and also outroam her very hard.â
LilPaniniUwU says âTake Barrier. Lux's Poke makes it hard for you to harass her while playing in the wave and her bind makes it sketchy to play outside the wave. Try to not get caught and scale. If you find a bubble you can score kills.
â
Eu como Miilena says âfique longe de seu adc para que ela tenha que escolher 1 dos 2 para jogar seu E e quando ela escolher proteja o escolhido com o seu E nos sem itens ela nao tem dano suficiente para quebrar o escudo da Karma. se ela acertar o Q sempre espere para dar o escudo quando ela ultar caso contrario a ult dela mata a pessoas estunada.â
PrismaticShield says âIf you're really good at moving around without being hit, you can counter her easily, but early game she is such a pain for pyke players.â
Ionia King says âIf you can dodge her Q she is of no threat to you, she is extremely squishy and once you jump on her she's most likely going to die to your team before she can cast anything.â
DtNikk says âLux outranges you, by alot. Go boots of swiftness, as getting hit by her Q spells certain doom. Mikales is also very good. Relic shield is by far better then spelthieves in this matchup.â
ColJaraka says âDodge her q with w, and you should be fine. She can get a lot of damage even when behind during late game, so don't get caught and don't underestimate them.â
tygame88 says âLux is my usual insta-ban. Hyperbeam is OP and she has way to much range. Poke champs are hard for Swain when they can outrange him. Her root is so easy to hit Swain with.â
AvengingAvacyn says âLux is really annoying because her ranged crowd control and ultimate counter you. You need to get in their face but they are good at staying away from you.â
VyoS says âShe'll poke you in the early game, so play passive and wait lvl 6, it's okey to lose some CS, When you got your Ult W E her and wait for her reaction, if she Q's then you can dodge it by swapping with your Shadow, after that you can all in her. If you're a bit fed you just can WEQ in a good angle and Ult her after swapping.â
TheFoolhardy says âLike morgana, her Q is enough to cancel your whole engage and she's most likely to keep poking you with E, even if the ADC does bad, she still has massive carry potential.â
TheBlueImperial says âLux is an annoying support to play against because of her poke but she is still very squishy immobile, she cannot do anything to stop you from engaging on her. If she lands a Q on your carry stand between her and your carry to prevent her from following up early.â
xDracolich says âLux is one of Rell's biggest threats with her high AP damage, her root, and her constant ult looming over your head. Pray you're not playing against a Lux support.â
PumpkinMatters says âLux is an easier Morgana, but don't let this cute little Beverly Hills white face fool you, because she can end your game, if she gets her combo right. Anyway, it's that same thing: escape Q, principally, and fall hard onto this annoying demacian head to end her happinessâ
commit lego foot says âlong range poke mage with a lot of burst. you are on a timer to engage before you get poked out. early refill and kindlegem give you some breathing room with second wind but still hard. â
a8qoyrl says âPain, pain, pain and more pain. She has amazing poke potential and does a lot of damage at the same time. A lot of the time if you are walking up, she will just root you and burst you before you can get in range to proc E and Glacial. You can really only try to engage when its on cooldown(11 second base CD all levels). Like Xerath, just make sure she doesnt poke you and Poppy to the point that its just dangerous to engage. So look for those windows of opportunity when her Q is on CD.â
Winter Nicole says âLux: Her Q traps you and her E does so much damage late game and when she gets her Ult, it's hard to protect your adc when she stuns them. (Recommend playing it safe with your adc and try not feeding her and try not feeding their adc which can be double the trouble though you can do good damage on her, make sure to stun her and Ult her so you can kill her let your adc kill her or you leaving their adc in a 2v1 and your'll have tower control but be careful with their jungler)â
TheAngryJacket says âBoots early on help to avoid lux e, dont clump with your adc and give them a chance to hit you both, as long as you dodge the root you should be able to dance circles around her.â
Harry132 says âAs long as you dont get hit by her Q you can not lose this lane but you have to be careful of not being poked to much during this laneâ
navarro41yt says âShe has an absurd root with her Q so if the spell hits yi he will be unable to move in various seconds.
It his highly recomended to go Flash vs she.â
DrErebos says âShe can heavy poke you out and will insta kill you post 6 if she hits a root. This is advice for all root type supports. If you vault them when they don't expect it then instantly side step you have a good chance of dodging their root.â
Alks says âIf she has the best aim, this could be a problem, however since we are fast, it usually doesn't seem that big of a threat. just poke her down!â
Discord231 says âCon esta tipa deberĂĄs comer daño de gratis para proteger a tu adc de su pokeo, pero con cuidado de no comerte su cc, y si no la matas antes de hacer un objetivo, prepĂĄrate para que lo robe.â
M Le Maudit says âPretty annoying with her cage but if you bait her cage you can use predator on the adc and you will win anyways, try to not let her poke you.â
revu says â[POKE MAGE]
Luxes are usually clueless. They randomly throw away their skills hoping to hit something. Look for all-in if she misses her Q. Her real power comes from how fast she can clear waves, pushing you under tower, which you dont normally want to happen.â
itsElJefe says âLux can be a pest, she is very easy to play and do well on, she has high damage when shes doing well, and a low ult cooldown. But you are a Xerath, you have better range and she's squishy. Avoid her stuns and play to your max range. Starting to see a trend?? STAY BACK AND POKE!! â
GuanaTv says âApesar de inicialmente ser um pouco chato enfrentar uma Lux, o fato dela nao conseguir proteger muito bem seu aliado faz com que seja uma rota tranquila.
(Although it is initially a bit boring to face a Lux, the fact that it can't protect its ally very well makes it a smooth lane).â
beeinthefranxx says âAfter her buffs shes literally like the teemo of botlane, besides blitzcrank and darius. take advantage of her after you dodge her q, shes immobile and has no cc other than e slow.â
Gobomo says âDodge her Qs and you're fine, get hit by them and you lose, thats the nature of the matchup. Unlike Morgana, however, there's no spell shield to prevent you from punishing her for missing her Q. â
Stannis_The_Mannis says âAnnoying, low damage early levels, slow abilities, if she E you, just walk toward her as the ability will fly pass you if there's no minion around, her Q is slow and predictable so dodge or don't walk into it. When she miss both her E and Q punish her hard as she has no way to stop you.â
Petra Venj says âYou really need to hit the Q's in this matchup, as Lux can poke really hard. I suggest going barrier to live her burst and going second wind.â
MsBean says âBeing against a lux isn't too bad, it can be a little big tricky if you get caught as she easily...one shots you... with her stun, E, and ult, she does a lot of damage, but it's not impossible to dodge her, just be behind minions, and don't chase her too much, she does a lot more damage compared to you. Overall soraka is a better support because of her healing, you give your adc kills and get assists back, as for lux you risk taking kills.â
neuroplasticity says âWhile she outranges you and has a lot of poke Lux isn't really difficult to deal with. Your passive helps to dodge her rather telegraphed skillshots and your W counteracts her poke.
Just make sure you dodge her binding and be wary of brush cheeses in lane as well as later on. â
Mooncurve says âdodge her skills, make that your priority. If Q / E is down you can fight her. She does often go ap as a support, buy mikaels to counter her binding.â
yaemitskiuwu says âThe recent Lux buffs made her an Even threat for Lulu. Her E deals so much damage and this is why I suggest maxing your E against AP supports like her. Dodge her skills you'll be fine. IF she gets fed make sure to get defense items.â
eiensiei says âBuild Mercury's Treads and you'll always be able to dodge her R even if she hits her Q. Her E is fairly easy to dodge if you walk forward or to the side, but not backwards.â
Doglightning says âRun ele. She is annoying she can out range your poke and root plus can shield your poke. Only advantage you have is you can root through wave. At 6 if she catches you in a root you are dead unless you have aftershock. After lane she will just have an easier time then you finding picks as she has longer range on bindâ
Doglightning says âTake Barrier. Lux's Poke makes it hard for you to harass her while playing in the wave and her bind makes it sketchy to play outside the wave. Try to not get caught and scale. If you find a bubble you can score kills.â
Mystral says âI think that this is a skill matchup, I just saved my ADCs by giving them speed to avoid her poke. She is squishy, if you get close enough, you can take half of her life away. Poke her only when she has her skills on CD.â
PicklePantsLOL says âDonât get poked out by her E on a regular basis as the damage will build up over time and the slow will allow her to proc her Passive on you. This will ultimately force you to recall abruptly.
Luxâs Q is the ability you need to play around as getting CCâd by that will surely result in your demise post-six. That CC paired with her E slow will literally spell death for you so make sure that you sidestep it.
You will want to allow Lux to push the wave in with her ADC so that she is exposed to ganks. Before a gank, make sure you bait out her Q so that she has no way to escape once the gank begins.
During team fights, she will try to dish out damage with her E and see if she can catch anyone with her Q. Try to avoid her Q at all costs and donât stay too close to each other or she will be able to poke all of you with a single spell.â
Aerenax says âLux is not as annoying as the other mages in the botlane as she is easy to play around if she misses her Q. The only problem is when you get hit by her full combo and your HP bar is deleted.â
eiensiei says âBuild Mercury's Treads and you'll always be able to dodge her R even if she hits her Q. Her E is fairly easy to dodge if you walk forward or to the side, but not backwards.â
warmfishu says âHer Light Binding (Q) will reset your W. She is also pretty high damage. How well she does varies wildly by player since she is both a high elo main and a newbie champion though.â
Rasta Da Masta says âThis matchup is hard for 3 reasons: 1, she has as much range as you. 2, she can actually 100-0 you and your partner with a full combo. 3, until you finish boots dodging is hard. Better bring your happy feed & hope for ganks!â
LegendaryOstrich says âYou can take biscuits against Lux if you feel she pokes you down a lot but early game she should not have any pressure to kill you since she deals no damage early. Look to fight once she uses her Q or W.â
Korippo says âShe does an insane amount of damage with her ult and her E poke mid to late game though, so it's important to keep your ADC as healthy as possible in the event they get rooted. It's ideally best to focus her first in the lane because while she is meant to setup, she also dishes out arguably more damage than her ADC in less time, so get rid of her before engaging on them.â
TheImmortalEye says âher higher range makes her poke effective. similar to seraphine u are a bit disadvantaged here with a similar kit. her ult does high dmg but dmg only, respect but all in when possible.â
Flackojodye says âbe careful with her binding, it has a deceptively long range, and most of the times she will try to full combo whoever she hits with it. Try to orb walk around her so she is more likely to miss Q and E. Respect her range and dont get pushed in or you will be dove and sieged.â
Distinger says âI personally cannot play against this monstrosity.
No matter how many abilities you dodge, if she lands a single Q on you, you are dead no matter what, because Lux's damage is broken even when she's behind.â
0Banda says â Lux, as a skillshot champion can get easily countered by Rakan, you can dodge her spells once you buy your first Boots and before that you can dodge her spells with your own ability's, like your W and E if your ADC is close to you. You can also dodge Lux's R easily
In your first back, buy Boots in order to dodge her skillshots, you can run Second Wind if you feel uncomfortale against Lux but its not really necessary, in teamfights, get close to her and bait her spells, then dodging with your Wâ
Xexzuz says âI'll just put this here. Any champ with CC you will do very well against for the most part. So just remember to time your E right and you can win trades really easily. â
Luiscencias says âJust like Zyra, she is a damage bot who you must respect until level 6. DODGE THAT Q and you will be just fine but don't ever forget she can get you killed with that one button. Zhonyas is incredibly good at countering her burst since most lux's will faceroll their abilities as soon as they bind youâ
AlysseaFaceUp says âThis is one of the exceptions, this support has more range than Zyra, but, you'll have to max your Q, she's so squishy, so dealing burst damage is the best way of killing her.â
Fear The Jester says âDodge her root with Q, gain control of the bushes and see if theyll waste mana to illuminate the bushes with spells (most are braindead mid mains that cant support properly), easy engage if you can dodge her root with your ult, Can also use your ult to dodge hers.â
Cimcia484 says â In the laning phase she pokes Soraka without giving her opportunity to Q her and mitigate the poke with healing. Similar problems with champions like Xerath or Brand. If they missplay and get hit by your Q, the lane changes entirely.â
Jowoey says âA good Lux will never randomly throw her Q but instead hold it for pressure and focus on poking you down with her E. She's supposed to start Q, but if she doesn't you can utilize that and poke her level 1. Wait until she throws an ability to find out. Early vision of the middle lane bush will make playing against good Lux players a little less intimidating but always be weary of her Q.â
CatGopher98 says âLux is a very similar threat to Brand, except that it comes with a lot more CC. Her cooldowns will eventually become nonexistent, including her ult's. Luckily, the same goes with your abilities.â
Hanjaro says âLux's full combo can spell death for you, especially if your ult is on CD and you can't reach her for an equinox. Dodge her spells, play to stay alive and scale.â
Hanjaro says âLux can counter your engage with her root, and her combo is deadly, along with her long range. You should avoid her abilities, play passive and engage at 6 when her abilities are on CD. She's squishy so you can burst her down.â
Biotic says âVery easy to play farm level 3 and you can just E into double bomb and you should win 2v2. Be carefull that you dont get caught out by a binding you should be the one engaging. â
TheBestestBork says âLux is lux, she roots you and pokes you all lane so dodge that and you will be fine. Also, as a standard leo main must, KILL HER WITH FIREâ
King Crow says âHer AOE is easy to hit and she outranges you. Her Q can be devastating against a Fiddlesticks. She generally outperforms you in lane.â
cozymoonzz says âtry to dodge her q and you should be fine, you can go guardian for the extra protection, but you outsustain her and outscale her if she doesnt get fed. â
LIGHTBULB NA says âSimilar to morgana, she is not really a problem unless she hits a Q. If she ever walks in E range, you should be able to hopefully burn flash or kill herâ
KasgoesREEEEE says âher q, e, r combo kills you everytime. don't rely on minions to avoid her q bc it can hit 2 enemy units. try to bait it out and then she's not too much help.â
Guoblide says âLux is a pretty hard matchup for Braum due to her poke being able to force Braum and his ADC out of lane fairly easily. Lux is a long-range burst Mage that can be built as a hybrid enchanter. She can run many different runes and builds that can change her playstyle for each one. For example, an Arcane Comet Lux will most likely build Luden's Tempest into full AP and focus on poking Braum whereas a Guardian Lux will build Imperial Mandate/ Moonstone Renewer into full enchanter and focus on peeling and keeping her teamates alive. Try to adjust your playstyle to counter theirs. Lux spikes at Level 2 with access to a root with Light Binding, Level 6 with access to a long range Final Spark beam, and then at Levels 11 and 16 where the cooldown to Final Spark gets ridiculously low. In lane Braum should try to play around bushes at Level 1 to help him dodge Lucent Singularity. Try to bait it out and then play super aggressively with your ADC for the 10 seconds where it is on cooldown. Lux without cooldowns is pretty much a glorified caster minion due to most of her damage and items stemming off of her abilities. Once Braum hits Level 2 he can play more aggressively and block Light Binding and Lucent Singularity with Unbreakable if they are cast on him. Keep in mind that Light Binding will still root Braum even if blocked (Although the damage will be reduced) and Lucent Singularity will deal full damage if activated before it hits Braum's Shield. Braum should continue playing around Lux's cooldown throughout the laning phase. Try to shove the wave into the enemies tower so that Lux can't shove the wave into you and get free poke off while pressuring under tower. Doing this will also open up roaming opportunities or better recall timing for Braum. When Braum hits Level 6 Glacial Fissure will let him get picks on Lux or her ADC if she wastes her major cooldowns. Since Lux has no mobility spells getting a knock-up on her when her defensive spells are down will usually lead to a Flash or a kill.â
Spection says âHas strong poke with her E, but it will make her go oom fast. Abuse her lack of mobility and throw Q's when hers is on cooldown. You'll want Zhonyas to counter her burst combo.â
Doody_tco says âBasically, Lux can ignore feeding her carry and go for Q>E>R and finish your carry, there is a chance for Yuumi's carry to survive with healingâ
RayTeamStrategy says âEven though her range is better than yours, if she wants to do maximum damage she's going to need to get close enough for you to silence her, which keeps her in check for the most part. Thanks to your superior mobility, you will be able to be more active in securing objectives which makes this matchup tough for her. But her burst damage potential still keeps her as a relevant threat that isn't to be underestimated.â
Nexon22412 says âCan root you when using your E wait for the moment when she her Q on cooldown and then try engage her if you get caught by her Q she combo you with E + R and you are deadâ
Billehz says âHer poke is very strong, and usually getting caught in her combo means you are dead. Your W does make it easier for you to dodge her Q and E, but if she is good she will probably be able to predict this and get some trades off on you. Once you have your ult she will become less of a problem as you can more easily dodge her q and go all out on her.â
Go Getter says âLux is extremely annoying to face against in the early match up, you're likely to die if the ADC manages to follow up on anything she does.
Survive until you or your ADC can engage safely and you will demolish her with CC.â
Vispectra says âLux is annoying , very annoying but not a hard match-up. She does a lot of damage but most of it is easily dodged with one Q , a sidestep or a well timed R. If you plan to fight her early post 6 , try to R onto her and move to the side , most lux players will throw the Q directly behind or in front of them to try to punish you. Her E and Auto-attack spam in lane might cause you some trouble.â
Bardificer says âW in from bushes and force fights, make her crazy paranoid about where the fish is coming from. Save R for when she full combos your adc.â
SupportTooEz says âFuck Lux. Heal her harass, don't let adc get hit by root. Not really a hard match up to understand, but adcs have a tendency to get stunned by Lux so you can rush Mikael's Blessing if your adc is incompetent.â
GUYnumb3r 14 says âIf lux hits you with abilities it will be a big problem, your shields will not beat her dmg early game. this might make you fall behind.â
duusuhh says âWhile you have to get close to do your damage, something Lux can abuse, playing around her cooldowns will keep things even. Just wait for her to waste Q and then get close, otherwise toss RQs. Consider maxing your E if she maxes hers first. â
Esoterica says âLux is a formidable matchup mid but not in botlane, as she must choose between trying to burst you or your ADC down.
Her Light Binding is easy to avoid and should be punished if she randomly throws it out. Her shield is also not effective at early levels, and she may not always get her ADC with it as well. Focus the ADC but stay aware of where she is standing.
Her QER combo at level 6 does ~60% of your HP.â
DamselOfDistress says âLuxeÂŽs E makes laning dificult. DonÂŽt be afraid to get close to her during an engage, it makes her Q hard to hit. She is still squishy, so she shouldnÂŽt give you much trouble.â
Pigeont says âJust not fun, she slow+ poke you and can root you trough the minion, can one-shot you if lvl 6 and in advance, get the 300g boots as soon as possible and maybe E lvl 3 to get back faster in lane, cause you will need to dodge a lot, depend on the skill. If she use her E you can try to poke her while paying attention to the ADC.â
edkemr says âRUN CONFIDENT RUNES.
Lux is easy to kill and has shorter range. However, Lux is Lux, right? She's obnoxious as hell and her Q is basically a death sentence due to the great hitbox it has. Also her ult can match yours if she's neraby enough. Still, it's in you favour, but don't overextend.â
Daraysen says âPretty even, try to hook her when she throws her Q since she won't have her root and she can't move while in her animation, making her vulnurable to you and your ADC.â
Dotje says âMage supports.. I despite them. If they don't win in laning I am pretty sure you'll be the better support. In case she's been very deadly you could get crucible to save your ally from her root and damage. But besides that just practise dodging her abilities.â
VeneficusFerox says âOnce you have boots, you can easily dodge her Q. Just don't get caught, as with all squishy vs Lux. Biggest threat is her long range ult to get kills and assists out of lane, just like you would do with your ult. Except she doesn't need to leave her lane for that long.â
KeleiX13 says âHer E's and Q's are usually pretty dodgeable since the projectiles are so slow. You outdamage her early on with your Q auto combo so consistently harass with that. If you're close enough, you can also cancel her ult with your ult stun if you get hit by a Q. However, if the Lux is good and you get hit by a lot of her abilities, you will probably be burst down pretty quickly so stay behind at least two minions when poking.â
Sinci says âLux does outrange you but you can still manage ways to trade with her if she ever comes to try proc her passive with auto attacks, she is very punishable when she uses her abilities but really scary has them and if you get hit you usually have to use many abilities to stay alive.â
Adam bot says âShe has high damage, but you out-scale her and with your movement speed you should never get caught by her bind, unless she flashes for you.â
Discord231 says âCon esta tipa deberĂĄs comer daño de gratis para proteger a tu adc de su pokeo, pero con cuidado de no comerte su cc, y si no la matas antes de hacer un objetivo, prepĂĄrate para que lo robe.â
LilRidge says â Lux is incredibly immobile and squishy, so you should always try to use the lane brushes to get close to her and all in her. You can easily take her down with your (W) Ferromancy - Crash Down and (E) Attract and Repel if you land on top of her. Avoid her poke.â
Tauricus2017 says âLux has been nerfed so heavily recently that she doesn't feel like a thread anymore, just watch out for her skillshots and when she overextends to proc her passive, make sure she will regret that..â
SpartanDumpster says âLux is likely to out-damage Zilean, so you need to stay on your toes, dodging her abilities, especially her Q. Once you're rooted, her and her adc can unload on you for a lot of damage. The only reason she's Major and not Extreme is because she roots instead of stuns. While rooted Lux and her adc are likely to put themselves in a position for you to stun them both, and you can cast your ult on yourself if you have it, so revive and run, boosting your own speed. â
Rainuu says âLux is an easy lane for Lillia as she easily evade everything that Lux has to throw at her. Beware of her poke prelevel 6 however, it can be incredibly annoyingâ
Ruiner of Fun says âHer Q usually means death. Unlike Morgana she can output enough damage by herself to kill you. Don't stack up on each other and carefully bait or dodge her skillshots. If you cannot dodge her Q it would be better if you dodged the lobby.â
Starchase says âDon't detach from your ADC unless she misses her Q.
Sustain all her poke damage with your E.
Tell your ADC to position behind 2 minions so that her Q gets stucked with them.
Rush Mikael's Blessing.
You hard outscale her.â
Midas_Wail says âInstead of going through each champion and telling you who to be scared of, I want to give you a general idea of what forms of tough matchups look like. Fortunately, the skill of your ADC can make most of the matchups ALOT easier, or harder. Lux and others like her is pretty tough because she has a large amount of poke and cc, and in tandem with her ADC it can be really scary for a teammate to 1v2 while you are off roaming. I'd suggest staying in lane more often in order to give peel to your ADC.â
mellorpyke says âLux is pretty free, 1 good hook and she's dead. Be careful at level 6 tho because she can oneshot you with her full combo. You can stalk her for the entire game with prowlers build, but make sure to oneshot her before she oneshots you!â
XD001 says âFree lane. dodge as many skillshots as you can early and at level 6-11 just kill her on cooldown with your full rocketbelt combo. Shove waves mid and look for roams jg/top/bot. In the late game you can look to 1 shot Lux and other squishies through flanks. Be careful to not get CC chained.
Ekko outscales Lux.
electrocute + sorcery + tpâ
Takitsu says âHook = Kill
Lux is extremely squishy. Avoid her E and look for hooks. No escapes aside from Flash. Even if she binds you or your carry, a hook can still result in her dying. Post-6 she can 100-0 so beware of her binds.â
Xeptron says âVery simular to Morgana. Dodge her Q ability (root) and you are free to engage. If Lux is using aftershock, try to engage AFTER her aftershock's been used, makes it easier to kill. â
losolkos says âTry to always move to make her try to hit you much harder also stay close to the minions she cant stun you if you are behind the minion she can hit with Q 2 targets. She have nothing to run so just slow her and focus on her and she cant run away if you dont let her hit you.â
Discord231 says âCon esta tipa deberĂĄs comer daño de gratis para proteger a tu adc de su pokeo, pero con cuidado de no comerte su cc, y si no la matas antes de hacer un objetivo, prepĂĄrate para que lo robe. â
Kadiyarch says âIt is a dodge skill match-up. she has a greater range so you have 2 choices: play every far and wait to have a good combo with flash or get very close so that you can hit her. If you do that, make sure that you adc is ready to follow otherwise you will most likely die alone.â
Coo1breeze says âLike Brand, she can harass you and the ADC pretty well, but she doesn't do as much early damage as Brand. If you can avoid her abilities and pokes, you will be ahead of her in gold, and you should be able to easily grab and kill her.â
EionThePepega says âLux might seem your clone, but she is not, because her burst potential is huge. Seeing most Lux summoners love to Ult after Q and E, black shield early and go either Poke oriented or Scale oriented.â
Gryndall says âThis depends too how enemy Lux good is. If you are not good on avoiding her stun I recommend buy Banshee or you don't want waste slot. You can take Cleanse. However if she not get overfed our flowers will tears her down.â
MagicPOwDer says âNo need to ban her. she's only a high threat because she will try to outpoke you at the beginning and her root will be very annoying. try to bait out her abilities pre-level 3. Let her waste her mana. Then stun and E combo her at level 3 to force her back.â
xDopii says âAnother annoying poke support that will stand behind minions. Due to your tankiness, she shouldn't be doing a lot of damage though. Try to stay in bushes and dodge her attacks. If you can get a hook on her, she is pretty much deadâ
Magdaleno9 says âYou absolutely destroy her, specially if she goes damage. Her q is very easy to dodge since it's super slow and her peel is very poor. Always power chord Q her and scare her. If you and your adc can kill her do it, she has no escape :).â
EionThePepega says âConsider her as Zyra's Long Lost Demacian Sister (Zyra's Demacian but you get it). Dodge Root or she will waste every ability on you.â
The Lotus Queen says âGetting hit by Lux' high damage combo can result in your death, and her long range can make it very hard to get through laning phase. Rush boots to dodge her spells to get through the early game, and do your best to win with your late game scaling.â
Jexeff says âThis champion is not what it used to be last season. This champ has seen a lot of nerfs in the support to role. As long as you avoid her snare you should be able to walk up to her. â
razzyhealer says âNotable for her CC from her Q, which is a straight line, but which can also pierce through a target. Getting caught usually means you'll die to her.â
Wounds2 says âLux bullies Rakan in laning phase, but the narrative stays the same as against most other enchanter/mage supports. They are pretty greedy when it comes to poking and can easily be punished if they overextend. Be cautious for her Q when you are engaging, as it can shut you down pretty hard.â
icebombhunter says âBoring. Bait her q and then all in her, you are stronger at all levels, just rush mercury, if she roots you after your e you will probably die.â
DutchWolf114 says âSkill match-up, which is good for us because all Lux supports think they are LCS players, so we can easily exploit their arrogance.â
fishbully says âONLY IN SUPPORT ROLE: After Lux wastes bind it is an easy pokefest. Only poke after Lux has no bind for certain (usually take aery)â
itizhelia says âYou go even in lane since her job is to stop you from doing your dashes by poking you, but you have an ability to dodge her Qs and Es.
But bear in mind that going into mid-game her cooldowns are much shorter which is why it's really tricky to play against her since a good Lux can f*CK you up really hard.â
Find0 says âI feel like lux shouldnt be here but here we go. you slaughter her if you dont get poked early. cheater recall for boots if possible so you can dodge her skillshots asap. Very snowbally pre 6 if you do int.
WIN CON IS ALL INâ
Royal Shaco says âhes even cause if she hits q ur dead
u dodge shes dead so in late game pretty much one shoots you with q and then the fllowing ult ur dead just dodge her q
â
Navn says âAs long as you don't get binded, you should be ok. Her E is pretty hard to dodge early, but you can shield yourself or your lane partner. Then just auto attack her for trades. Depending who her lane partner is (Caitlyn is the scariest), this lane can become unplayable very quickly.â
Xeptron says âLux is one of the other AP damage dealer support champions that people decide to play. She does very well in terms of poke since she can get a safe distance and throw her abilities at you. Due to her low CD on her ultimate ability, she can burst anyone pretty well since all LUX players build AP to make her shield bigger and damage higher.
There's one counter to her poke - finding a way to hook her and punish her for it. Remember - lux has no escapes. Her only escape is flash. Once the flash is burnt, she has no way of escaping a hook. Once you land a couple, you will able to kill her over & over again leaving her usless and weakened.â
Frank6264 says âLux puede hacer lo mismo que una Karma de manera mejorada, aparte de que su CC y daño son mejores y mĂĄs fĂĄciles de aplicar que con Karma. Depende del ADC enemigo Lux puede ser una amenaza muy grande o extrema. Recomiendo tratar de evitar que desgaste demasiado en lĂnea posicionandose en lugares de fĂĄcil movilidad (estar aislado de los minions por ejemplo) y de evitar principalmente el CC de la Q ya que es altamente probable que les puedan matar. Runas defensivas y extenuaciĂłn son recomendables en este enfrentamiento.â
rcyuumi says âAvoid Lux's poke damage and Q's and you are fine. Don't and you will have serious issues if she is paired with an ADC like Jhin, Cait, Ashe, Draven, etc.â
Pixel Pocket says âLux is in a good spot right now, she's a little more vulnerable to your engages than Brand or Xerath as she will want to auto-attack more to proc her passive, abuse this to get the upper hand and you can winâ
CaptianMike says âYou must dodge her root. Lux has high damage for a support, but is low health herself. If you can dodge her q, you'll be fine. Take SCORCHâ
jessuva says âI don't like facing Lux in lane, because she deals a lot of damage and her root is annoying. If you can dodge her root, she shouldn't be too much of an issue, but she has a TON of poke. â
Lykzar says âAn annoying matchup. Go for trades after she uses her abilities. I'd recommend going perfect timing here to avoid the burst she can provide.â
Quadliss says âShe can hit a cage and 1 shot you before you do anything. The laning phase is hard with her E, she has a shield and a range for counter you're box. She has a huge scale, you can't outscake her. I recommand you to ban her. â
CastratedSeal says âShe has okay pick potential, but it's a skill matchup. If you dodge her bindings, you should win lane. Start Relic Shield. Consider buying a Mikael's.â
Titans Revenge says âLux E is harder to dodge than her other skillshots, but does a good bit of poke damage in lane. She is highly immobile and if she misses her Q you can all in her.â
Hceercs says âShe's somewhere between a 3 and 4 as she has decent poke and can root you, and has all the qualities of an annoying mage matchup, but she really isn't as hard to deal with as Velkoz/Brand/Zyra.â
RedNBlue says âUh oh! Watch out, lux will root you, you will root her, you will Q her, healing yourself, auto her and get a wraith stalker, and then she downshift her engine ridding her of cool downs and she will unload her arsenal on you. NOTE: you will be dead. Laning phase will be the same thing except you better hope you can get tanky fast because you will be getting blasted by two people and you and your adc will both be blasting lux but its not going to be fun. You will be cursing and screaming kicking your desk when you die in this situation. Good Luck. I don't knowâ
IbnBattuta says âLux isn't that much of a threat but as Support to an ADC she is actually dangerous since you can't focus on her with ADC next to her or Vice Versa so as long she is alone, you are free to kill her but with someone better wait for backup.â
ParadoxRoli says âIf she missed her hook she is useless. You can all in her. Also her Q and your Q ranges are the same, so if she is not ahead you can tank her Q shot while hooking her yourself. â
GMGZ2 says âAHH THE LIGHT BURNS MY EYES! LUX IS SO HARD TO DEAL WITH IN S11. Use your Q to dodge her R, can't block her Q or E since her Q is a double shot that can hit two targets in a line and her E is a big circle that hits everything in it. Poking her is also difficult since she can use W and shield herself. Lastly, if she has R up, try and also have your Q up as well or else you will have almost no way to dodge or have your R to counter by teleporting after going invincible and invisible for a brief moment. Then if your clone survives throw it at her if you can. Oh and another thing, she can just root or slow your clone making almost impossible to get it near her. Lastly, use your boxes in bushes to try and stop sneak attacks and that is all the advice I have for this DEMACIA SCUM.â
Tartmeringue says âWhile Lux does a lot of damage and will outscale you late game, she's very squishy and easy pickings if you dodge her root and all in her with your adc.â
Frogsterr says âRoots you at level 2 with her Q, so be cautious around her. Make sure you poke her a bit pre-6 and 6+ so you can counter her a bit and mow her down.â
just_juniper says âBoth Zyra and Lux have long range harass, great teamfighting and CC. Engage whenever she uses Q, play safe whenever she has it up. She is extremely squishy, so catching her usually results in a kill.â
Guoblide says âLux another pretty tough matchup for you due to her good poke and peel from her Light Binding. She has really strong poke with her Lucent Singularity which can also apply a slow and make it easy for her to auto attack you and proc Illumination for a lot of damage. Avoiding Lucent Singularity is very important because her hitting it can lead into you taking a lot of un-needed damage. Lux uses Lucent Singularity as well as Light Binding to check bushes and make it harder for you to dive. Try to stand right inside of Lux's ability range to make it easy to just walk backwards and dodge her skillshots when she casts them at you. The most dangerous Lux ability for Sett is definitely Light Binding. Lux can easily hit it when you engage on her due to your large hitbox. Try to camp lane bushes to pressure Lux to throw it out. Once her Light Binding is down try to make a play by Knuckle Down or Flashing into her. Running Ghost is decent here because it lets you stick to her even if she slows you with Lucent Singularity. Rushing Boots of Swiftness is also really important because it makes the Lucent Singularity slow way less crippling for you. You hard out-roam her due to you being way waster from getting items like Dead Man's Plate and Boots of Swiftness. Try to roam mid a lot and help your jungler secure Rift Scuttlers and Dragons. You strongly out-duel her in 2v2s, 3v3s, and teamfights so always contest objectives with your team when even with them. Keep in mind that Lux can easily steal Dragons with her Lucent Singularity + Final Spark combo so try to Hextech Flashtraption over the Dragon pit wall and deny her the space to pull off her combo. Also, since Light Binding is a root and not a stun, remember to Haymaker when she Light Bindings in order to get the shield and stay alive.â
InsaneWind says âPoke poke poke. She will poke you till you cannot fight, it is wise to try fighting her at level 3 and not before that unless she took her snare and AOE damage attack. â
0mori says âShe's like Morgana. Just don't get stunned and survive the laning game/burst damage that she has. You're more useful than her later wit the utility you provide for your team. â
Midori Schaaf says âBuilding MR, HP and tenacity to deal with Lux sacrifices too much gold. Positioning is key, and focus the ADC. Prepare to die a few times before you start to snowball. â
Somoko says âChampions like Lux, Morgana, Xerath, etc. will try to duel you in the middle of laning phase. You should be fine so long as you only attack them when you know they've busted their spells.â
ReignMargulan says âLux is even in the sense that she can be a tough matchup if she builds correctly and hits her skills. But she is also extremely squishy so just exploit thatâ
Fictitious1267 says âI'd suggest poking until you know an engage would win the fight, or wait for jungle to gank. She has too much ability to CC and add damage for you to play aggressive in a 2v2 situation.â
NirvanaBunny says âLux has a strong poke with her E and passive, but she's squishy. Her mana-cost for her abilities makes her run out of mana fast, and her cooldowns early game are decent. You can abuse her lack of mobility and can CC her when her Q or E is on cooldown.â
aliteralpieceofwood says âA very annoying matchup, but possible. Avoid her root (Q) as much as possible especially when she gains her ultimate as she can one shot you. Use the brush as much as possible and try to outscale her. â
Kilo Khaos says âAnnoying but bearable. Dodge her skill shots, and don't engage when her snare is off CD, as it can lead to a bad trade. Always keep a lantern ready after she's level 6, her ult has an extremely low CD and will do a large amount of damage if allowed to hit.â
moon827 says âI'm going to preface this by saying she's not a real support. She's a mid laner. Besides that, as long as you can dodge the root, you should be fine, but if she lands it, there is a pretty good chance that you are going to be dead.â
KajiKumihoAkukei says âLux is more annoying than a real threat to you.
She has a lot of poke, so in the early game she will be very obnoxious to deal with.
The thing about Lux is that she is so squishy and has 0 form of escape. So if you manage to land a hook on her she will very easily be bursted down.
What you do need to be careful of is her burst damage. If she lands her snare on you or your AD carry post 6, immediately throw out your lantern because if she follows up with her ultimate, you will really need the shield.â
Frixen says âCleanse or Ignite.
Push her in, avoid her Q, and you can just run her down in an extended setting. She cannot keep up with your roams and sucks at cs'ing under turret. The only way you lose that is if you get caught by her Q and get poked out. â
Bouhhsolene says âYou're just a better Lux. Poke ? you does that better. CC? You does that better. Supporting ? You does that better
You just win against Luxâ
Tauricus2017 says âHard matchup. Her poke is pretty damn strong and her range is too high for you to be able to engage. Go for Defensive Against Poke runepage and try not to feed. She scales well. Try to punish however her position mistakes.â
SolarSupport says âLux's poke isn't as powerful as Brand's, but it's still very formidable. Her range also makes her almost impossible to engage on, meaning you have to attack her ADCâ
sashadidntwalk says âFirst of all, I don't count her as a support, but a mid-laner, most people will pick her when they get support and still end up with NO support items. But that out of the way, her Q will be spammable and if she gets you, you can end up dead, but if she takes your ADC instead just W them out of it instantly and she'll use her most common ability, she'll be throwing E's down at you almost all the time so just try to dodge it and poke her out, she is squishy so it shouldn't be that hard. Her ult is easily avoidable unless you get stunned but, again, if your ADC gets the Q>R just swallow them.â
Reason97 says âA lux who know's how to utilize her kit is gonna give you a headache. the issue here is that she just has so much more range then you, making it really easy for her to poke you down in lane, especially with the absurd AOE on her main poke tool, her E. If you can get an early lead, she won't be as much as an issue, but between easy poke, long range kit, and her absurd amounts of stacked damage and low cooldown's, if she get's ahead, you'll need to wait till later to deal with her. You arguably bring more to a teamfight then her, but the biggest issue is just gonna be if she get's ahead.
â
KeleiX13 says âWatch for her root and be sure to shield her E when she pokes. She runs out of mana easily if she plays aggressively early so make sure to poke when he abilities are on cooldown and when she's out of mana.â
Spection says âUNCOMMON. Man, is Lux annoying! She can peel hard for her ADC and has powerful zoning capabilities which are hard to dodge. Her combo can 100-0 you if she catches you off guard. Build mercury's treads and hide in minions or dodge her slow moving Q to win lane. It will only hit the first two minions and the hotbox is slightly larger than the projectile, so be safe when dodging it.â
ShroudedBRH says âLux has alot of poke available on short cooldowns as the game progresses she gets access to more damage. Try to bait out her Q to punish her ADC as she will likely run away after missingâ
Mickeystick says âLux still hurts if she gets a Caitlyn ADC. The goal of this champ is to shove the wave under turret and poke you, so try not to let her shove the first few waves. Instead of throwing your hook, hold onto it so you have the threat of it. However if you do hook her, she'll almost always die or burn both summoners.â
Wicked Cherry says âTry not to get caught by her root or she'll be able to land a full combo on your which would most likely be your death sentence.
I'd recommend waiting out her abilities and harass her while they're on cooldown.
Don't forget that she's got a higher range than you.â
Wicked Cherry says âDon't get caught by her root, otherwise you'll risk being ulted by her which means you're pretty dead.
Also, she's got more range than her, so be carefull and try to attack her once she's used her abilities.â
Wicked Cherry says âShe can root you and if past 6, you're most likely dead if she does. So grab those mobility boots and try to remember you're a master of dodging her spells. She's annoying but if she can't get enough kills, she'll simply fall off like a leaf off a tree in autumn. However, asking your jungler for ganks would never be a bad idea in this case.â
orbiterpluto says âIn 10.11, she got the E slow buff whcih really hurts Ivern. She will most likely build full AP so I would build tanky, but enchanter is fine too. Dodge her q and e and then all in.â
QueerJunk says âNami has a 60% winrate against lux! You outheal her poke, and if you land your CC on her she will feed in an instant. Avoid getting her fed for freelo!â
TheSpecialist says âLux is nearly a direct counter to Pyke, the Root screws over Pyke and can be followed up by any of Lux's other abilities for high burst Damage. Even Lux's Q can reveal Pyke's locationâ
xlouis31 says âLux' range is so annoying, but you should be fine if you Flash + Q her after she walks up and misses her Q. Should be pretty easy to deal with her after you hit lv. 6.â
Malbonaviro says âTaric is a special type of champion that fits into what is known as the "support trinity". Most champions are built around the idea of scaling in which champions that scale at different rates have their own counters they're good against, similar to rock, paper, scissors. In the case of support champions, the triangle isn't a matter of scaling, but more of a matter of crowd control abilities. The support triangle works as follows. Hook support beat immobilization support, immobilization champions beat damage delay support, and damage delay support beats hook support. This is a very mechanic heavy triangle and isn't dictated by how well you farmed, which is why some of these characters are very good at supporting. Because Lux is an immobilization support and Taric's entire kit depends on his mobility while he's also a damage delay support, it's a hard mechanic to circumvent.â
ShanksMeister says âReally bad. As long as you don't get rooted you'll be fine. You can rush tier 1 boots to dodge her skillshots and use your E so you'll be faster.â
Giraffe3100 says âLux sucks. Don't lose to a Lux Mid, as Swain that is embarrassing. Just dodge her abilities and walk past them right into her face and kill her. Q a lot.â
LegendLuklus says âLike Brand, she is weaker in early game, but her pokes keep you away. Fortunately, her pokes are easier to dodge and deal less damage. â
ZILMORG says âDon't get hit by her snare. Stay back and react once she focuses your ADC, by Q+W+Qing their ADC in return (this stops the engage and gives your ADC time to reposition). Lux is good at pushing the wave into your tower, meaning more opportunities for your Jungler to gank. You can walk up, E+Q+W+Q Lux since she has no escapes and secure an easy kill. The hardest part is dodging her snare to make the engage actually possible. To counter her pushing power, use your Q on the three melee minions at the front of each minion wave, then help your ADC auto them down. Slow down their push and try to freeze the wave under your turret so your jungler can gank more reliably. In teamfights, you have to react quickly with your ultimate to save the target she's bursting down. Never get caught out yourself; stay behind your team and E your bruisers/tanks into her.â
Mczrks says âTbh i don't remember when i last struggled against lux, she have only skill shots that are really hard to land on pyke because of his mobility. Dodge her root and it will be easy win.â
Vexno says âShe isn't meant to be in support in my opinion as she is a mid laner but as long as you can dodge the root that goes through 1 target you will be fine, if not you are probably going to die.â
Krynomi says âHer root puts you in a vulnerable position so be careful about that. Her slow is pesky but shouldn't provide that much difficulty. If her AP scales out of control be really careful about her Q+E+R/Q+R combo.â
DarthMagic says âHer root can go through minions whilst your hook can't which is very annoying. She also has good poke. If you can land a hook on her she should die very fast.â
Lesbiannie says âBest thing to do vs Lux supp is to poke her down whenever you get the chance so she can't stay in lane for long, the slow isn't much a problem but her Q is.â
TailsGothicAngel says âIt all depends on the player. Some can land their root's every single time, every time, and thus leave you bursted down into oblivion but others won't be able to land them as often. Keep your eyes peeled.â
brandbrandbrandbrandbrand says âJust dodge. This champion sucks to fight versus and a good one will just take relic shield and not let you play the game while sitting back and negating any damage you might do to her carry through her w and guardian.â
aliteralpieceofwood says âVery hard match-up especially if she lands her root on you so try to counter-attack with sear if she's already blazed. She can outpoke you pretty well so try to use your added speed to your advantage. â
Hoshikoo746 says âI feel good :D
For the same reason as Morgana, she's not a high threat. Just beware of her poke.
But don't get catch after lvl 6, it can cost you life.â
Joseseyboy says âLux burst damage and movement impediment can be intimidating and overwhelming. Dodging is as useful as it gets.Remenber that you stop as you cast your bombs, play smart around her cool downs to not fall into her combo.â
SkeleMan says âLong range multi-person stun. It's a bit annoying. Also a multi-person shield. If she gets ahead she'll oneshot you and her shield will be 600+ dmg shield. If she's behind or even it's fine.â
snukumz says âShe can be pretty annoying or pretty easy. If you dodge her skill shots then she isn't much of a problem but if she lands her skill shots then she can wreck you. â
snukumz says âShe out ranges you with 2 abilities that do damage.
She has a shield that can negate your poke and your ult.
At level 6 she can 100-0 you if she lands her full combo on you so watch out. â
snukumz says âWatch out for her poke since he has more of it than you, and she has more range than you.
Her combo will delete you, just as yours can delete her. â
Allergic says âA good Lux support will root you before you can use whiplash, and her root lasts forever, and with this build you're squishy and will probably die if she manages to land a Q. Her E will also reveal you.â
thesophieset says âYou don't really want to pick Soraka into Lux. Although there are ways to win this lane (early Mikaels and MR stacking), she can just purchase an early Oblivion Orb and make your life hell. Her early damage output is high and a good Lux will look to focus you and shut you down before they turn onto your ADC.â
Guffel says âGood poke and range. try to kill her before she gets Lost Chapter for her unlimited poke. After that play safe and wait for an opportunity.â
NalgaSensei says âLux severely outranges you and out pokes you. Because of this it's easy for her to land her Q (root) on you while you try to cast your abilities.â
Oiaki says âLux is a HUGE problem when ur playing pyke. She has her CC which u wont be able to stand while youre going in with ur Q or E, when u go in she will combo u starting with Q and ur probably ded. :(((â
Lambimia says â If it's in mid, be safe, mas if it's supp, wait, does anyone still do lux supp?
Se estiver mid, toma cuidado, mas se estiver sup, ainda fazem lux sup?â
snukumz says âDon't get snared and keep your distance so that she can use her explosing E on you.
She can 100-0 you if she lands her full combo so be mindful of that.
Her shield can negate quite a bit of your damage to her and her ADC.
Try to safely poke her down while being safe. Be aggressive if her skillshots are down.â
KuuHaKu_OtgmZ says âSoraka has few difficult matches, but Lux's poke 'n stun combo is ridiculous. Try to finish items as soon as possible to outscale her APâ
Metalbashev says âHer poke and CC are really annoying to have to deal with. Especially if the Lux player is experienced, they will make sure to ruin your day, they will stop you from engaging and disengaging. It will become often when you flash or ingage into the Lux root but if you react fast with your Ult to take it off and follow up on that with more abilities (offensive or defensive) you should be able to outplay the non-outplayable.â
frekko says âShe isn't too strong against you, but she forces you to build MR (so you will not build Tornmail first) and her poke can be really annoying. Dodge her Q, or engage her before she does. You just will destroy her in the mid/late.â
LettArcticFox says âLux isn't really a threat, her Q has a lot of range, but if you are in close range you gain the upperhand since you can cast your Q even if you are in Lux's Q.â
Sq_09 says âBY THE LIGHT!!! *stroke*
Good poke, engage-CC and CC overall. Also very high damage. You can peel well tho and kinda nullify her. Very annoying tho. â
Randomless says âYou outrange her. She's probably not even going to try to catch you and focus on your ADC instead but you can just heal your ADC after her lane combo is over.â
SynLynx says âI honestly don't understand why people play this champion in support. Her q is the only part of her kit which is dangerous to you, so always avoid that, you'll never win a trade if you get hit by it. But if she's used it, you can try to w her and get an easy kill.â
rquoe says âAnnoyingly long range, but otherwise not that dangerous. As long as you keep dodging her skillshots and harassing her when her dangerous abilities are on cooldown, she shouldn't be hard to deal with.â
Abusable Yuumi says âCan be a kill lane for your ADC or a kill lane for theirs - if your ADC can dodge, you win lane. If not, you're going to have a bad time.
Consider asking ADC to take Cleanse over Barrier.
If she's ahead, Mikaels will more often than not save your ADC or whoever else is unlucky enough to get snared.â
I main support says âLux is a debatable one, being that she has a lot of CC, they're not very effective going against a Soraka since you're always staying behind your allies so Lux have a harder time trying to kill you, even early game, your ADC usually will take her abilities and you cal always heal them.â
Dougaroo says âLux's stun followed by her ult will easily melt you and your teammate. You need to be building MR as well as health early on if she gets fed.â
JustSlayter says âHigh damage, but as long as you can avoid her snare you should be able to take her. She has no mobility so chasing her is no issue.â
HoneyQT says âUsually a very easy matchup, Her damage isn't relevant past 30 minutes and while her CC is good, it takes a very consistent lux player to constantly pull it off. Usually picked by autofill players.â
Cat Elf says âShe has a lot of burst, usually she can 100-0 your adc with her full combo and help from the enemy adc. Her Q also can hit 2 people so keep that in mind. â
LoveL0rn says âIf she hits you with q its no big deal, especially when W curse is ready to proc. Make sure you have Q to charm her so she cant follow up, aftershock giving the defense needed for the adc and the burst damage around you for when shes not charmed anymore.â
Epic Striker says âLux can just about destroy anyone she is pretty op and needs a nerf just stay near your tower unless you got a good adc then you should be fine.â
PayyBack says âLux can counter your engage with her root and you should avoid her abilities, play passive and engage at 6 when her abilities are on CD.â
StormAegis says âTeemo is pretty much dead if hooked or stunned for a good amount of time, so be careful with any matchup of this kind. If you get blocked don't panick, and if you know you'll be dead, try to deal the most damage you can to the weakest enemy around. Sometimes you can secure some kills even when in a death situation like this. If your opponent is alone and not fed, try to avoid him in the early game, but you should be able to 1v1 him with Q and AA and usually win. If you are in danger just Q him, avoid any hooks/stuns and run away with your W. You can use your R behind or ahead to slow the enemies chasing you.â
Flint124 says âIf you flash over her binding, she's killable with some effort.
Otherwise, her shield makes her damn near impossible to poke down and you won't get on top of her.â
Daedralus says âRange is a huge problem with her, but coming in for an auto attack for her passive will give you an opening. Using your E practically blocks her Ult burst, and is an overall squishy and vulnerable champ in the end. If you ult while she uses her Q, you will be immune to it and will counter her heavily with such a play and will leave her open to the Q + gunblade one shot combo afterwards. Overall, if you can handle her ranged harass and use an opening well, this can be a very easy matchup, or a very hard one if failed. â
SorakaBestWaifu says âKS queen
most of them are focus on building AP items and nuke you to oblivion.
Immobile champ for the most part so easy to kill her off when she mess up.â
Curmudgeon says âLux has minor CC, and not too much damage output if she isn't getting kills. She shouldn't be much of a threat if you can dodge her Q. Pretty even lane match up.â
Bobbab says âPoke Supports beats Illaoi if they outrange her E. Go Shoulderguard and play passive if your adc scales or wait for them to mess up. Guardian is advisableâ
Jointed says âLux has turned into a fully fledged support. She will rush Ardent and Athene's...and not lose much damage. She has full potential to burst your lane and is a formidable challenge. Keep her cooldowns in mind and trade when you canâ
KitsyMamori says âStay behind 2+ minions to make her Q useless. When she throws her Q and you either blocked it with minions or dodged it, go all in with your full combo (explained in abilities).â
Gravixx says âYou have to win this matchup early game. It's a very skill based matchup, hinging on your ability to dodge. Later in the game, if you get caught by her Q, you're pretty much dead. She has no mobility so you have to punish hard for her missing her skillshots.â
Hanjaro says âLux has a higher range than you, and with her shield being one of the strongest in the game, can out trade you if she lands a root. Dodge her abilities, poke her when they're on cooldown, ask for a gank.â
Hanjaro says âShe has more range than you, her full combo can spell your death, so try to dodge her root. Mostly just have to play passive and farm up here.â
Aizenvolt says âLux is a special case after 6 you have her but pre 6 she can be a pain with her insane poke. If you dont die pre 6 its easy to kill her after 6. Do whatever you can to not die pre 6 because if she gets fed you know what will happen to your team. Ask for ganks to get 1 kill pre 6 then your job is easy in the mid lane.â
Hanjaro says âShe has long range, high damage, and a root combo could spell your death. Dodge her abilities, harass when they're on cooldown as she's squishy. All in on her generally can spell a kill.â
GoBucket says âDecent CC and damage that are pretty easy to land. Bait them out and get on top of her and you are good to go. Her poke is not as menacing as Xerath or Vel'Koz and her Q is pretty slow. This lane depends on your ability to dodge her roots, if you do you can pressure her and you would win. If you don't...â
Zer0XM says âLux is something I see people saying isn't bad for Naut but I disagree, it mainly depends on the Lux and if she can land her Q on you mid hook (sometimes she can hit you before your hook collides). Besides that you can eat everything she tosses and she doesn't have that much capability to survive a hook, even without your team you can beat her out in lane.â
Zefirez says âRecommended Rune Set: Hail of Blades.
Not much to talk about here - Lux is Lux. Don't eat her q and you're golden. Given that you have highest base movement speed ingame you don't have any excuses for getting caught. Practice your dodging skills if you're still getting trapped way too often.
Other then that this matchup is plain easy - once her q missed, engage and kill her ass.
Oh and try not to use your E too often - nothing is more juicy then watching her ult get reduced to 0 by a well timed Aegis Assault - you don't wanna miss out on that fun cause you used it earlier just to look cool!
Oh, and another nice and nasty way to curbstomp her blonde ass - red wards and oracle lense. Kill her vision! Lux snowballs off landing ult snipes thanks to deep wards in your jungle, brushes, dragon pit and whereer she can plop a ward down (or her teammate). Deny her vision and watch her cry tears as she's just falling more and more behind...â
Vexno says âShe isn't meant to be in support in my opinion as she is a mid laner but as long as you can dodge the root that goes through 1 target you will be fine, if not you are probably going to die.â
Puck333 says âAll Lux her attacks are skillshots. Especially when you are at a higher level, your speed is really high, so you can easily dodge them. Look out for her stun though. â
Leaguecitizen says âLux is a big problem for Leona.
The reason is simple: she has ranged CC as well as high damage output.
One bind is all it takes to get all your summoners or potentially kill you.
This is a lane where you need to play defensively, and look for the right opportunity to go in.
Luckily, unlike Morgana, she has no spellshield or escape mechanism.
If you manage to get on her, she's likely dead.
Exploit her low mobility by either engaging in lane with your ult, or roaming.â
Leaguecitizen says âLux is a big problem for Nautilus.
The reason is simple: she has ranged CC as well as high damage output.
One bind is all it takes to get all your summoners or potentially kill you.
With your W, you should hopefully be able to narrowly escape.
This is a lane where you need to play defensively, and look for the right opportunity to go in.
Luckily, unlike Morgana, she has no spellshield or escape mechanism.
If you manage to get on her, she's likely dead.
Exploit her low mobility by either engaging in lane with your ult, or roaming.â
FabioOoOoOo says âWill pretty much destroy you if she gets a lead. You won't be able to overcome her with MR if she builds a void staff. This is my go to banâ
Leaguecitizen says âLux can be dangerous, but only if she hits her abilities.
She doesn't have any sustain, and if you play the lane smart and play back, she's going to have a hard time reaching you.
Even if she does, she might very well end up dying herself.â
spark2 says âLux is actually a pretty fair champ. She's very long range, but all her stuff is skillshot based and therefore dodgeable. If you can get around her Q, you can dive her very easily in lane. If you can stay away from your minions in lane, you'll force her to choose between waveclearing with her E and harassing you with it.â
supersuavebro says âHer poke and root are very annoying, but even the best lux supports get too close to stay out of range, just punish them every time they creep and jump on their adc when they root yoursâ
NirvanaBunny says âLux has a strong poke with her E and passive, but she's squishy. Her mana-cost for her abilities makes her run out of mana fast, and her cooldowns early game are decent. You can abuse her lack of mobility and can CC her when her Q or E is on cooldown.â
aimez says âI'm going to preface this by saying she's not a real support. She's a mid laner. Besides that, as long as you can dodge the root, you should be fine, but if she lands it, there is a pretty good chance that you are going to be dead.â
Gruebles says âDodge q, try to dodge e, make sure you go in after she q's or go in and bait it out. (Short q cooldown you only have a couple seconds)â
SirZeros says âLux is strong because of her big range and damage output, call your jungler if she overextends or stun her if she hasn't got good positioning.â
Ahpulzz says âVery frequently seen in normal games and lower elos, Lux is an annoying opponent to deal with. She has good CC and reasonable damage to follow it up, and her shield is able to defend both her carry and herself. The biggest issue is her far range, making landing a hook on her very difficult and forcing you to play around her abilities.
Her immobility makes her vulnerable to ganks and getting caught out, so definitely look for ganks in this matchup. Additionally, focus very hard on obtaining and denying vision because Lux will always try to combo opponents while hidden in brush or across walls.â
Chromuro says âAvoid her Q or suffer the wrath of a teenager. Before 6 can be an even matchup, but she can still do a lot of damage and poke you out of lane. After 6 it becomes really difficult to manage her. All her power resides in her Q.â
samuraiPepsi says âOnly ingage if you have item/cooldown/health advantage or if your ally laner or jungler is bot with you and theirs isnt. Also dodge as much poke as possible.â
Vermeio says âProblem is her root, somehow, it gravitates to you ALWAYS. Those long cc are troublesome to Poppy, because cc never comes alone. If too much trouble, boot asap, and MAYBE a talent on precision tree to raise tenacity. Easier late game than early.â
GlacialWarlock says âLux... Oh, Lux...
She outranges you comically hard, her Light Binding (E) is annoying as Tahm Kench isn't exactly the best kiter in the game and can send you packing as you sit there, rooted.
Her Prismatic Barrier (Q) is similar to Karma's in which it helps the ADC escape their death and annoys the hell out of you.
And the Ultimate is something you should ALWAYS watch out for, even if you did build Magic Resist. If she does pop Final Spark (Q), your top priority is eating the ADC, no exceptions.â
Stand In The X says âRush Mercury Treads and you should be fine. Try not to get caught by her Q or you have a high chance of dying and no one wants a fed Lux. â
Beth_NHPS says âHer root can pass through a minion pinning you there next to it, just stay aware of it and it's cooldowns, and you should be fine. If not her landing her root on you will usually be fallowed by her ultimate, which is rarely pretty.â
Sona Aria says âPretty simple matchup. If you don't get rooted. You win. Lux no longer buys damage items early, and instead buys Athenes unholy grail. This means that you get a free lane to scale provided you don't get burst. Going for poke on Lux w cooldown is recommended.â
Osamabinlaggin96 says âAs soon as she burns her q its a free double kill. if u land a hook on her its over for her, its up to u whether to focus her vs adc in lane.â
1OLAF3 says âOkay I am not professional but I cant play against Lux, to me she is the worst counter to Ali at early game, late game is a bit easier if your team is playing good, but not at early too much CCâ
SetsumiV1 says âAnnoying, CC's you for days, has a massive shield, basically like Karma, only with more damage output, same applies, Ancient Coin is a good startâ
Xavier Senori says âLux is not too difficult to deal with. As long as you can dodge her binding, you should be fine in lane and for the majority of the game. The only problem is that her range will make it hard to harass her, so roam and farm your jungle whenever possible.â
TwistedFireX says âThis is only put on Even because of her Root, if she lands it on you, it will HURT! Now, she is almost useless if she misses her W, though her shield can be annoying.â
Saethwyr says âSince the changes to her shield, you're not likely to see her, but it's not too rough of a matchup if you know how to dodge her Q and E.â
Better Call Phil says âI am biased for this matchup. One of my most hated champions.
When she maxes her shield, I want to break my computer.
Play around bushes, be aggro when she misses her Q, punish her.
Relic Shield or Ancient coin are both good. â
The Jhin Cena says âGross early game usually being poked constantly and having to recall, or running out of mana from dodging everything with Q and E. The way you wanna go against Lux early game is try and not use E or Q unless she's in range of your E so you can land it on her. Otherwise just try your best to farm and wait for your jungler. At level 6 try and land a full-ranged R on her and then E > W > Q. You should almost always grab Banshee's Veil as your 3rd item against Lux.â
supportsbelike says âLux has a lot of CC and long range. She will likely dodge all your abilities and be very annoying to generally fight against. â
NirvanaBunny says âLux has a strong poke with her E and passive, but she's squishy. Her mana-cost for her abilities makes her run out of mana fast, and her cooldowns early game are decent. You can abuse her lack of mobility and can CC her when her Q or E is on cooldown.â
hipstersora says âPoke with Q, stay healthy. She's just as skillshot reliant as you even if hers are easier. Poke her down until you can all in her after she uses Q.â
LighterDay says âChamps that have ranged abilities are usually difficult for Pyke. Lux has to be the more difficult one because her snare prevents you from fully dashing and getting close. If against Lux, save your dash to evade a Lux snare and reposition yourself for a hook.â
best_shacosupport911 says âWho doesn't Lux threaten?
Her Q travels through boxes, E scouts brushes.
She can bind you through a box from her tower while standing in the middle of lane brush.â
Rozyrade says âAs long as you don't get hit by her Q, you should be bale to survive. When she hits her Q, try to W to your adc as fast as possible to avoid damage.â
noolan says âEven though most of her abilities are dodgeable, her potential damage and bs shield are gross. You are going to either destroy her, or she is going to destroy you.â
Shderen says âGood trading potential and team fighting. In lane, do your best to dodge her E as that is what she's likely maxing. They tend to throw it behind you so consider walking toward her as she's about to cast it.â
NirvanaBunny says âLux has a strong poke with her E and passive, but she's squishy. Her mana-cost for her abilities makes her run out of mana fast, and her cooldowns early game are decent. You can abuse her lack of mobility and can CC her when her Q or E is on cooldown.â
N0ZOMI says âGood Lux can be annoying on lane. Dont get stunned, land your stun and she's pretty much dead. Squishy af + low mobility but good disengage.â
SawyerNelson says âLux has long range poke with arcane comet, or better trading tools short range when they run after shock, you have to abuse the all in factor if they play at range, or use your poke advantage by maxing Q when they run after shock.â
NirvanaBunny says âLux has a strong poke with her E and passive, but she's squishy. Her mana-cost for her abilities makes her run out of mana fast, and her cooldowns early game are decent. You can abuse her lack of mobility and can CC her when her Q or E is on cooldown.â
Kon x says âshe can root you when ever your dashing with your adc & can stop your knock up by rooting you you may dash but not knock them up so don't get rooted :>â
SawyerNelson says âA Good lux mid is actually almost unplayable for thresh. She out ranges you by a ton. If you can catch her out on vision or by baiting objectives it's the best way to take her out. But don't try for aggressive hooks in an aram situation against her or she will Q and her team / she will kill you.â
Yukkine says âLike that fallen angel lady, but with the power to kill you outright if you ever get rooted. Go play some Dark Souls and learn to dodge.â
Enfurnal says âLux is a broken blond chick. Early game if she is aggressive, she will continuously E you to poke you out. Her Q can root up to two champion/minion/monster in the game. If she hits a Q on you expect 1/4 of your HP gone early game. Late game... You could potentially be 7 hp after that simple combo. As long as you can dodge her Q... She can't do much to you because her combo is Q E R. She still can kill you if you keep getting poked out by E.â
NocUout says âVery hard matchup, if she gets ahead she will easily one shot combo you, just play safe and bait her Q before going in, as she is still very squishy. â
AkemiSen says âLux support is an EXTREMELY easy matchup for Kayle even when played well. Her W helps sustain all the poke and her R prevents the lane rom snowballying out of control at every stage of the game which is great. Her Abilities are really telegraphed too.â
LiliGwen says âAs this build require you to get close to your ally to shield them, it would be unwise to take these because of her light binding. It would then root you both.â
Adauchi says âI list this as a Major threat to more of a lower elo, where the lux pick can overwhelm you with the hard to predict CC.
In higher elo games, if you know how to dodge skill shots, this will be a piece of cake.â
Rasta Da Masta says âThis matchup is hard for 3 reasons: 1, she has as much range as you. 2, she can actually 100-0 you and your partner with a full combo. 3, A late boots arrival means dodging is hard. Better bring your happy feed & hope for ganks!â
LuxIsMyCrush says ânot really a threat as long as you juke around her spells, most of times she will shot the E behind you or your adc so just walk forward should be enough.â
Jeroen R8 says âDodge her skillshots and engage when her Q is on CD. Lux has no escape options other than CC'ing you and shielding herself. Getting hit by her Q can lead to extremely bad trades or even death.â
Tipurrs says âShe will poke you for days with her E if she's really aggressive. She outranges you and has a shield. Very annoying matchup. Wait for her to use her q and e then engage her.â
Saecriru says âNeeko and Lux go even in this match up so you can play either aggressive or passive in this lane, its really up to you. Just try not to get snared.â
DGNNYOmega says âLux's crowd control can be a pain, but you are only rooted. Lux or her ADC will likely get aggressive towards you once you are rooted, making it easy to charm them. The same goes for Morgana and Neeko.â
I love Lun Lun says âLux is an AP support with a root and damages.She is strong but her main poking spell is E.If we can dodge it we pretty much won game because we can poke her back and we can outheal her burst in early stages.Late game she is strong but again we can save our Allies since our ULT got stronger.â
TurnDaBeatAround says âLux sucks to fight against. Her range is so strong for so many of her abilities. If you don't feed her early kills, you'll be fine mid/late game. If you do . . . â
Synk1904 says âHas a lot of damage and a lot more range than you, she can shield so you can't kill her that easy if you get close to her. If you have low hp don't stay near her and recall or hide as fast as you can.â
Zefirez says âThese days you can't go into a brush looking for some berries without stepping into one of these...
Ok here's the plan:
you grab cleanse, and anti-kite runes i provided. When she uses up her E (the aoe slow field) you run at her like a wild bear for a full engage. If she snares you with q, insta-cleanse and show her who's the bigger bear! If she flashes - you won, cleanse has lower cd then flash. And jungler will be most pleased.
Just keep in mind to avoid lining up with adc. It'll suck if you engage, while adc is still snared miles behind you!â
Autoswitched says âsimple matchup, windwall her q, use your e to dodge her e, or just avoid it. You can easily outfarm and zone her away from creeps, you also out damage her, and the only real way for her to win is either, you missplay, or you get camped.â
SpicySkelleton says âI've put lux in major instead of Extreme because you can still win even if she's a bit fed. Her stuns and slows can be annoying but easy to dodge if you use your W, however she'll most likely point it at your adc instead of you, try to get you and your adc behind your minions to adsorb her attacks and when there's not any obstacles, you can grab her and finish her off. Her ult can be pretty crazy so try to make sure she cant build AP while you build some extra MR.â
undeadsoldiers says âLux will mainly poke you with her E. Try to stay a little ways behind your wave so she can't hit Q or E.
You can push her pretty hard as her E is her only waveclear (unless you get a crazy Lux who uses R to nuke a wave!).
If you manage to catch Lux with a bubble, it's bye-bye blondie.
A common misconception is that you can counter her by dodging her Q, but you should know, a good Lux never throws out her Q without being 90-96% sure it will land. Her Q is not a stun, it's a root, so you are able to cast, don't just stand there and do nothing.
Suggested: Heal or Barrierâ
macspam says âIrritating matchup, buy boots and some early MR to counter her E poke. Cleanse is a good option, but keep in mind she just has a root not a stun so you can still cast spells even if she hits it. Try and use stopwatch if she roots you to dodge her ult. â
GeneralJ0hn27 says âShe has a difficult laning phase with her very long range poke, However, if you do see her use Q or E go in, have your finger on spell shield to block her Q. In the event you do get rooted use spell shield to block her R.
â
Great President says âToxiccc.If you want stay alive dodge her q.When she's 6 she will destroy you and your adc.If you want kill lux, dodge her q and e grab her with your q.Then stun her with your e and keep fighting. In teamfights she'll try destroy everyone with her e and r. If lux fed, focus her in teamfights.â
BreathlesSx says âNot really a thread. She does outscale you late game if you are behind but if you don't get in her spells too often you should be fine.â
Fyiree says âDO NOT PLAY INTO A MID LANE LUX AS DIANA.
A good lux will consistently root you, and out trade you, IF you can survive to lvl 6 and dodge most of her Q's, then you can 1 shot combo her, but that relies on her being bad, not you being good.â

Tips Against Lux in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
WWWdanieLWWW says âJust an annoying champion imop, can punish you if you go in and oneshot you, poke machineâ
bhakli says âBait her E on to your minions so she'll push towards you. Get the wave on your side, dodge Q and kill her. After bork she is a minionâ
South Z says âLux is surprisingly not that hard to deal with despite her very high lane pressure: if she misses her Q, you can run her down. Or run her down anyway with a well-timed Cleanse.â
DaddyVladdy says âstand outside of the wave so she has to choose to pokes you or push wave.Kill her if she misses q.Dont interact that much with her otherwise.You outscaleâ
CitTheCat says âThis is a hard matchup. She outranges you and she can poke you a lot with her E. The only way to win this matchup is to play safe and wait for the right opportunity to go in.â
darkezmond says âBeware of her Q and E, wait for mistakes from her, W into her and wait until she spends all the skills, and then squeeze out your E and Qâ
BlakC1 says âShe's major for the solo motive that she's fucking annoying. I recommend taking Cleanse into this specific matchup. Dodge her stuns and you should be good.â
Shaco Mid Lane says âYou can dodge her skillshots with Q and you can ult if she tries to ult you after hitting you with her root to not take damage. (E-max)â
AnxialSociety says âSpellbook perfect-timing demat cosmic.
Transcendence gathering.
Cleanse.
She outpushes, and can kill you.
Farm lane and roam. (demat?)
She's basically a hard counter that doesn't care about killing you, but who absolutely can. â
Deru says âEasy matchup since u just have to juke her q to make her unable to stop you from getting to her. You also shove and roam better than her before her 6 so do that.â
WayOfTheWlnd says âShe will E you, CC you, and then most important of all once she gets level 6, she is outfarming you at an alarming pace, I would perma ban lux in almost all your games.â
Samikin says âSomewhat-Threat.
Surprisingly, Lux is a hard matchup contrary to what most people believe. She has more range and punishes Zoe walking up with Q's really hard. Not to mention, her E is much easier to land and her R can clear the whole wave without interacting with Zoe, mitigating any risks. Lux is still a mage though, so she is still easily killable if you land a good sleep or if she walks up too far into Zoe's range.
Recommendation:
Electrocute (Inspiration w/ Buscuits + Cosmic Insight if you want instead of Manaflow + Scorch) rune page
Crown of the Shattered Queen + Lich Baneâ
IIndico says âI wouldn't worry too much about mages, as long as you use your passive shield and E correctly they usually won't be difficult. If you can't do those things you'll have a hard time playing against them.â
Mayuushii says âHas long range and annoying poke. Use W movespeed to avoid Q and E and try to farm or harass with Q if she steps up. Lvl 6 you can go in but avoid getting hit by her Q and you should be fine. R her R when applicableâ
MiniLuxi1 says âKeep your distance and stand passively, she can easily kill you with her skills with deceleration and immobilization, as well as pasivka on AA. Try to play through the windows - I passed the procast, try to catch and already win back, after which it is better to go to the distance again, so that she does not play for you. I'm not sure, but at the moments of its R (a large ray almost on the entire map), you can try to use W to survive this moment and go under the towers.â
StralekS says âYou won't die 1v1 but can't win: Conqueror/ Resolve: vs Mages, Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Dark Seal start. Play lane safely, farm, and when she wastes ability, punish her with all in combo. Full AP for higher win chances.â
Deru says âEasy matchup since you just have to juke her Q to make her unable to stop you from getting to her. You also shove and roam better than her before her 6 so do that.â
YourDreamWaifuu says â[Runes: Electrocute]
[Item: Long Sword]
[Mythic: Prowler or Duskblade]
[Play pasive] [Just try to farm till 6 then you can instakill her] [Bait or dodge her Q!]â
TheAfricanDream says âLux will completely out range you in lane, but she has to play the lane at her max range to win. Look for extended trades mid when you hit her with your E. Your Q cooldown is a lot shorter than her cooldowns so look to harass her if she misses her Q. Lux has no mobility spells so once you hit your E on her, she will have no escape except for binding you. If you can reliably dodge her Q, this matchup is very simpleâ
Cjtheawesome says âIf you can simply dodge her E and Q combos, this is a fairly easy lane take as much cs as you can. post level 6 it just becomes a farming lane.â
BC1970 says âLux outranges and outpokes you. Her burst is dangerous, specially after level 6. You should go barrier, and if you want an extra bit of protection go Crown or rush Banshee's. â
Demonsedge90 says âWith a root/slow and powerful ultimate at her disposal, Lux can make your life hard in the lane if you don't respect her skills. While she's not difficult to fight against, you must be mindful of her cooldowns and be sure to move around often.â
Simelodeon says âI: Ludens
R: Standard
S: Cleanse
Ihr Early Poke mit E ist ziemlich strong. Auch wenn der Gedanke ist dass man hinter Minions stehen sollte damit sie Q nicht trifft, ist es besser von ihnen weg zu stehen damit sie mit der E nicht auch gleichzeitig noch pushen kann. So kriegst du Pushadvantage was ihre n Poke negiertâ
AriFr0mThe3nd says âThe light bitch can become quite annoying but if you dodger her attacks and make sure she doesn't have her abilities, she is quite easy to kill. Also don't forget that her E has a very wide range and you can still attack her when you are rooted(!!).â
SanyGame says âSame as Xerath and Brand, but more manageable. She can easily use [E]>[AA] to destroy your turrets, so place them far apart so she needs a lot of mana to destroy them. Remember that her [Q] can only attack two things, so try to stick to the turrets and minions. Early boots and some sustain are recommended, as well as Stopwatch and Nullifying Orb.â
RuchaczSzmat69 says âShe has annoying poke but she cant really burst you if you play around your W beacuse, you can get out of her stun and avoid getting ulted. Dont let her proc her passive too often, after prowlers you shit on her.â
Spoomk says âfuck off fuck off fuck off. A good Lux will kick your teeth in and put them back in to do it again. Her abilities are free in terms of hitting and cooldown, you don't have much of a chance to deal with her. Go elsewhere.â
xblademojo says âPredator + Teleport / Ghost. She will perma push and throw spells at you.
Depending on how good she is, you might be able to kill her with Predator on your own. Start Corrupting Potion for sustain or Doran Ring to keep up with cs under turret.â
GoodMangoes2war says âBecause early game is spent hard farming minions, lux's combos are particularly disruptive. Late game, if all goes well she's not as big of an issue. It's just a LOT easier to ban. Even Syndra is considerably easier to deal with.â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âAlways make sure youâre stood behind at least 2 minions so she is unable to root you with her Light Binding(Q). If Lux uses her Q and it misses, use the cooldown of this ability to play aggressive as she will be unable to protect herself and prevent the all-in. Mitigate Luxâs E effectiveness by standing behind and not inside the minion wave. This will make her choose between using her Lucent Singularity(E) to poke with or to push with.â
Adamonias says âShe's you but worse in every way. You outrange her and your abilites are better. Don't let her free auto you after she lands an ability thats the only way she outrades you. If you both land CC you win, bc you can still use ur other abilities while rooted. If she runs ign she's turbo trolling, most likely she runs barrier or tp to match you. Just care that her ult does hurt and is on a low cooldown. again if you're not confident you can run barrier , but i like TP to out tempo her and take free backs.â

SkyBanana says âWell if it isn't your twin Lux. You are basically the same champion but with different playstyle. Lux wants to burst her target(s) down with little counter play and has a lot of range zoning tools. Seraphine wants to lock down and burst the enemy team down and make sure they don't move for her performance. All in all since you are both the same champion it comes down to who can performs better or who can make the most plays.â
SoftSeraph says âNo surprise that Lux is here..
She outpokes you everytime, does a ton of damage and her root and slows can stop you from simply reaching her.
A good combo can tear her down, tho, but like Ahri, you mostly have to play around her mistakes and cooldowns.
Stay mindfull of her R incredibly fast R cooldown, as your E can absord it..â

Tears of fears says âNever stay close to your lane minions, she has to either E the minions, thus letting you punish her, or she'll try to E you, losing the cs, both outcomes are good for usâ

Hot Eboy Xerath says âLux's E in the early laning phase is pretty much the same range as Xerath's poke so her harrass can be quite annoying early on. In the mid to late game, you can just spam ultimate her down to make up for it. Make sure to dodge her Q or you will die. â
Xexzuz says âI'll just put this here. Any champ with CC you will do very well against for the most part. So just remember to time your E right and you can win trades really easily. â

Kneecaps says âCareful for this speed camera as once she catches you speeding with her q, her ult snaps your license plate and you go straight to jail, unless its your first offense in which you might get a hefty warning at most. â
TB Azir says âXerath benzeri bir matchup olsa da oynayanına göre biraz deÄiĆebiliyor. Ama iyi bir lux oyuncusuysa yine ormancı faktörĂŒ iĆin içinde yokken birebirde azire lanede gĂŒzel gĂŒzel acı çektirebiliyor. Xerath banlamayacaÄım zamanlar genelde lux banlıyorum. Bu matchup'ı bir Ćekilde oynarsanız mutlaka ormancınızla oynamanızı tavsiye ediyorum. Ormancınızın attıÄı bir baskın sonrası lux ölmeyip sadece sıçrasını bile kaybetse lanede biraz da olsa rahatlayabilirsiniz. (aynısı xerath için de geçerli) Ama çok iyi bir lux oyuncusu deÄilse, comet girerek gayet rahat bir Ćekilde oynanabilecek bir matchup. Yani tamamen oynayanına baÄlı diyebilirim.â
NegativePhoenix says âIffy situation. Her E is the most annoying thing but if you can dodge her Q stun it isn't horrible. Just know she's gonna outburst you in a 1v1 so be careful if she manages to land her abilities.â
Lightning_Ranger221100 says âBoth of you are pokey/bursty caster mages, you guys either win or lose some. Try doing as many of her spells as you can with e. If she pokes you, heal with w and wait for an opening. Or you know, just have a tank go in for you.â
Body Those Fools says âDo your best to dodge her E poke. You HAVE to dodge her Qs or you will get chunked, have to blow flash, or die. You can take Cleanse in this matchup if you're not too confident. Farm until Lost Chapter then you can poke her down over and over. You can all-in her once you're level 6 when she wastes Q if shes around 50% HP. Banshee's Veil makes it easier to all-in her to negate her snare so it's a great buy. If the enemy team has other strong Ults, you can go Zhonya's Hourglass to go into stasis to dodge them or Lux Ult if you get snared.â
Bughans says âA good lux will NOT let you farm. Also lux is so fucking broken like seriously riot 30 second cooldown on an ability that can singlehandedly oneshot squishies???
Your passive shield makes this not the worst in laning phase, just focus on playing very very safe and picking up what little farm she lets you.â
Bunan says âFirst Strike-Magical Footwear- Futures Market-Cosmic Insight-Second Wind - Unflinching
AH AP MR
Sapphire Crystall Refillable
FLASH TP
Q->E->W
Q max->W->E
Stay away from minions so she cant E you at the same time
If she wastes Q(11s CD) engage
Good luxes will hold Q
Use E to dodge E/Q
Combo E2 with R
Zhonyas second (R)
R 6/10 Good with CC (easy to dodge)â
KayyeN says âNot very hard. Dodge her Q and try avoiding her E as much as possible. You won't really be able to reach her often but she's not a big threat to you either. Most annoying thing is probably her low R cooldown, which lets her push waves very fast, thus punishing you harder for roams.â
Edex_StarsUpYourASol says âJust trade her, you win laning phase easily when you are under minions and roaming becomes a breeze. Just be mindful that Lux can still roam and that if she gets a kill, she will always be a sore playing in the backlines like Ziggs.
Mid to late is also not an issue as she struggles to do the damage necessary compared to Ziggs, and doesn't do enough utility like Morgana. â
OSG Rewynd says âIf lux randomly throws Q, this lane is free. If she holds onto it, you can't really kill her ever. Let her shove into you and hit your W's or call for ganks.â
jesterjedi93 says âThis is one of the 5-6 champs that if played correctly, you will never get close to. BUT if she misses her Q, you can go in for a trade and punish her for that.â
Super08131208 says âLux will poke you from base. If a Lux plays safe, you can't kill her. At level 6, you can try to dive her, but that is if you can dodge her stun. If the Lux plays super safe and stays under tower, just shove and roam. Give her a reason to leave her tower.
â
Zoose says âThis will be a poke battle. Avoid her auto attacks if you're marked, but be ready to W combo her if she gets close. Many luxs take barrier, so anytime you try to dive her, take her W shield and barrier into account, plus her potential to CC you under tower. She is all skillshots so early boots will help to dodge them. Take runes with extra HP and mana sustain.â
V1kt0r555 says â[Rune Keystone: Aftershock or Predator]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Push your lane and roam]
[Dodge her skillshots]â
basrty1p says âJust dodge her Q and E, she'll be hard time to fight you.
You DPS damage will be outscale her in mid-late game since your Worked Ground Q can slow and kill her quickly before she can do anything.â
DabiDabi says âLux will poke you from base. If a Lux plays safe, you can't kill her. At level 6, you can try to dive her, but that is if you can dodge her stun. If the Lux plays super safe and stays under tower, just shove and roam. Give her a reason to leave her tower.â
Esrucnl says âShe has no mobility at all so hitting your combo on her should be easy.
Make sure you dodge her Q though or else she can burst you down. Moment u dodge her Q with movement or E you should be fine though.
If she does the ''i will stay under turret all game and just clear wave'' you either roam to get kills and leave her there or freeze and ask your jungler to come and abuse the no mobility mage!â
Azurio says âYou just have to dodge her Q. Smoke her and E next to her while she is blinded, just pay attention to her burst level 6 and if she has barrier.â
SKRELAX says âPlease no. No. NO. NO. Her threat level isnt very high, her poke is just unbearable to go against. You can try to not take any dmg by Eing the minions to take at least some farm, or try to juke her spells (Her spell dmg and aa dmg is pretty nasty in lane, be aware). After six, the lane goes into a state where if she hits you with a root (q) you're done for.â
ddieguito_es says âShe's a more annoying matchup than a big problem. Don't be scared to try hitting your Qs and avoid getting stunned. She can't kill you in lane if you play decently. You can get a Doran's Shield if you're getting annoyed.â
beansoce says âBoots are very strong in this matchup to be able to dodge her abilties, try and not stand on the wave because she'll just e the wave and poke you. If she has barrier pre much impossible to kill her so just afk farm.â
Ludwig RageQuit says âPick Poke Rune and starts with Dorans Ring. If you dodge all abilities you can easily harass him but thats fucking hard. I recommend an farm simulator lane and a jungler for contest she rotation the mapâ
sona nordeste says âdefinitely the biggest counter to sona mid, but to avoid the chances of being blown, try to do everything to not get rooted with lux Q skillâ
Berdasco9 says âPuede resultar difĂcil matar a una lux debido a su rango pero por lo general si te mantienes detrĂĄs de los minions para evitar sus Q's y buscas el momento oportuno un all in deberĂa poder matarla, ten en cuenta que muchas Lux usan barrera a la hora de hacer el all in.â
donidaking says âDEMACIAAAAAA!
OK i would like to see she s freelo but this matchup is kinda hard is she s a good player since she outranges you.
She s gonna start E level 1 so walk and make sure to poke her with electro, one tip to not get hit by her E is to just walk up to her. Don t be afraid to trade autos since you sustain back up.
After she gets her stun try to dodge it and if you can t just pool it because at level 6 in 2 rotations she kills you besides that you should just run her down.â
Sakuritou says âThis matchup is more annoying than bad.
You can't ever kill her if she doesn't make a mistake.
Try to spot mistakes and instantly punish her for it!â
Aut0Lycus says âShe just does a ton of damage for no reason, its all down to who dodges skill shots and gets help from jg. She will out damage you the entire game tho so be careful.â
TheKingUltra says âHas only one damage combo, which is easy to predict, she also has very poor mobility, you can get a few kills and also outroam her very hard.â
ADAhriAbuser says âLux usually takes barrier and combined with her W shield it makes her very hard to kill. Try to set up a gank with your jungler or shove and roam.â
xIXWrathXIx says âJust Pain. Lux has a great poke game and can bully you if you are not careful. Take E as your first skill to block any damage she throws at you as her E hurts a lot and can go through minions unlike your Q allowing her to stay away from minions so you cant try to AOE her. Lvl6 lux is broken with her R cooldown only being 40 secs and dealing huge damage. Make sure to always R-Q her when you can as she is still a mage so shes very squishy.â
The_Unf0rgiv3n says âA good Lux would never allow herself to get poked by you and will make you return to base at least 4-5 times during the laning phase.
Farm safe and wait for ganks!â
Ahri Simplord says âShe outranges you and runs Barrier which is pretty bad considering your low damage, you have the same wave clearing capability but her roaming is a lot worse since she's immobile. Zhonya is a must in case you get caught by a Q.â
Dustyacer says âAnnoying mu, she consistently outranges you with q/e. Running at her is very hard bc of her slows/root. Only reason it's not unplayable is that u can ult onto her sometimes (if she uses her abilities to clear the wave) and you can block her r with your e. I also have great success with just side stepping everything, better than other champs for some reason (her q and even her e).â
Mordryn says âany champ with range is hard to deal with. i.e. caitlyn xerath vel'koz blah blah, but lux is the most common. play around hitting the least range champ if the ranged ones space you wellâ
Bundif says âShe used to be a minor threat to Zed but with her recent buffs, even a mediocre Lux can be very dangerous. Just play around her Qs. If she's good, she'll hold onto them until the day she dies. If she throws them out willy nilly, you win. You can consider buying Serpent's Fang if there are other shields on her team besides her.
Edge of Night can make up for sidestep misplays.
âBasically any champ that buys Seeker's Armguard into Zhonya's Hourglass can give you trouble. â
Haydoslang says âHas higher range than you do, can be annoying early game. Can start corrupting. Predator and lvl 6 very high kill chance. Zhonyas goes through her root so very valuable hereâ
JoacoT31102 says âBasically, anything with cc is a threat as it prevents you from cleaning the wave properly and from roaming. However, they are squishy, meaning you can kill them in lane.â
Magmora says âLux has one main poke ability, and one CC ability that does not go through minions. Her E is very hard to dodge, but standing away from minions can force her to choose whether to poke or farm. If she chooses to poke you can just shove the wave. If she choses to farm, you can fight her.â
DabiDabi says âLux players will usually bring barrier and stay under turret so it'll be impossible to kill them unless you get them low enough with your W to Flash all-in them. At level 4-6 shove the wave in and look for a roam. Give Lux a reason to leave her turret. You can commit a to gank or fake a gank and kill her.â
TrueGIXERJ says âWhile a *very* good lux could be a threat, i never view them as much trouble, as long as you remember to dodge about a kilometer wide for her shitboxes, you'll be fine, she's squishy and easy, no problemo.â
V1kt0r555 says â[Rune Keystone: First Strike or Arcane Comet]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Recommended Mythic Item: Luden's Tempest]
[Dodge her skillshots]
[Post 6 don't get rotted or she will burst you down]â
desch3445 says âShe's really, REALLY annoying w/ her E spam, but the reality is that she's an immobile mage, and y'know what we do to immobile mages around these parts? We refine them into a nice, sweet 300g :)
Just survive her poke and look for burst opportunities, you'll be fine!
Take the Electrocute page; FS is rendered useless by her insane poke, and she doesn't quite have enough health to justify Conqueror. Electro just fits like a glove in this matchup.â
