Except Janna has a shield that's actually helpful early game and is easy to shield incoming volleys or something with compared to Luxxes skill shot with delay. She has a hard cc compared to a harder to hit with soft cc (although longer). More supportlike passive and ultimate. Maybe it's that I'm just too used to use Lux as ap carry but I just don't see how she works as any other support decimates me when I play her.
She doesn't really outshine any other support
i just play her when i feel like our team could use a little extra magical damage. Anyways,I basically Adapted Roku's Support Lux style.
Here would be an example.
And here, is an example of me and my friend playing bot, Him as Ashe and me as Lux. (his point of view because my replay of the game has broken D
Although Roku goes HP over MP regen, id go the normal support route of Farie Charm Wards and Pots to start.
For Skills, you would max E first, but start with Binding level 1. You will want to level Shield secondary, but as you increase in levels you can drop points into binding depending on how well you're doing. In lane your goal is to bind either enemy (or both) which enables your partner to poke them, or kill them. At 6 onwards you want to attempt the full rotation like Roku and i do on someone. It looks hard but its easy to do with a bit of practise. You can severely cripple or kill an enemy with this, and usually you or the AD is going to pick up a kill or make them have to back.
As you can see in Roku's video, he goes philo, 2 rings and a soulstealer. I've tried this and i feel its safer to go Large rod into Deathcap instead of stealer, because then you don't have to worry about stack losses if you die. My latest core build is Reverie, Pen boots (you can sell these later for Mercs if you wish) 1 Doran Ring, Aegis and Deathcap.
My supporting rune page is Magic pen reds, Armour yellows, CDR blues, and GP5 Quints. With masteries and philo, i believe thats 9 gold per 5 so you won't have trouble getting enough for the eventual deathcap + assists money (unless its looking like a bad game early on of course!)
Thats about it, if ive missed something you wanna know, feel free to ask again!
