Lux's mana costs getting reduced next patch. Lux players rejoice!

Jatt Wrote:Short answer: she's really hard to play, and playing her optimally requires alot of kiting and patience (something most players lack)

Long answer: Lux relies on landing her entire damage combo in order to be effective, unfortunately her Q comes with a very high mana cost and a high cooldown. If you want to become aggressive in lane, you are forced to shoot Q after Q, which will deplete your mana pool quickly assuming you are using your E to clear the creeps (which most good Lux's do)

Pros: Full 3 spell combo (Q into E(explode) R is devastating on single targets and in team fights. W is extremely potent with only 1 point at shielding multiple people in team fights. Great farming capability with E and R. Exceptional kiting

Cons: High mana costs, unreliable, hard to pull off spell combos, extremely unforgiving when missing spells.

Good news everyone! Lux is getting mana cost reductions next patch. Making it easier for Lux to take more chances in lane, and play more aggressive. We like that Lux is a hard to play mage with high rewards (seriously, practice Q - E- R combo), so we're trying to make her less punishing.

I died.

But then again we don't know what they are. I remember a red said before about her having to land all her stuff and all that and all she got was 1 second off her E which got reversed like 2 patches later.
I'd like it if they lowered the costs on her q e and her r. You need 40% CDR on lux but at the same time i can have like +54 regen at 18 from tome runes/masteries and 2 rings and its still nowhere near enough due to her costs.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it is very likely that her Q, E, and R will have their mana costs reduced. From Jatt's post, he seemingly hinted towards that too.

 Here are my guesses. These may not be accurate guesses, though.

Now they just need to make her passive give a small vision radius around the champion afffected by it and remove the vision obtained on her E and she's the girl I want her to be. She's a light mage for crying out loud, yet characters like kog'maw are better for obtaining vision of the enemy team.

I would flipping die if they make her illuminate fog/brush with her passive. She is already super strong on dominion that would be sexy.

Oh gawd, those LeBlanc blinks look so fun, yet trolololol-worthy to use.

I just hope that announcement is only seen in spectator mode. If its seen by everyone, that's going to raise a lot of eyebrows.

And I wonder if the global ult CD increases for Shen, Karthus, and Soraka will finally make people shut up about their ults being overpowered.

Unlikely.

Depends on how much of an increase Riot gives them.
Too little of an increase will virtually change nothing.


The LoL Patches thread - Five Second Pose - 2012-07-02

Too much will bring the game right back to where it was before the Shen buffs. People stop playing Shen and Karthus and Soraka remain popular because they have strong kits.

lol the top comments on that vid saying lb should be nerfed.

sux how they keep nerfing Soraka till she'll be nothing though '-'


The LoL Patches thread - Duelman - 2012-07-02

Not a huge fan of them reversing the cooldown scaling of soraka's ult.

From what they portrayed in the preview film it sounds as if she will start off with moderate cooldown on rank 1 of ult, increasing cooldown length with each point invested.

At this rate, don't be surprised if Soraka replaces Karma as being the Evelynn of supports.

Soraka is still god tier support

The only thing I don't like about soraka is she has limited utility in team fights. Soraka depends a lot on her ad carry to snowball the lane to make it easier. During team fights you basically get

- 1 heal, can only help 1 person and can be hard to land during the mad scramble
- 1~2 silences, but can be hard to land during the mad scramble
- 1 ultimate which can usually counter 1 AoE ultimate e.g. karthus/kennen

I love sona's utility in team fights though. She has the opposite problem of soraka though where she can be bullied in lane as she can't sustain for her AD carry as well as soraka because sona is very mana intensive to spam heal if your AD carry sucks.
