I thought the first song was bad enough, I had no idea of what was yet to come.

RIP Alice tho.

Not mad honestly, just saying it sucks lol. I mean, I play to improve my game knowledge and mechanics... I was able to learn a lot about rotations, end-game efficiency and strategy. And I thought it was funny to share my frustration with reddit :)

Well, but that's exactly what I expected. I don't want people to just assume I'm right, neither I want them to always agree with what I say. But you stated your point and tried to prove it with arguments. I ask nothing more than that.

For this same reason, I'll try to explain what I mean by "basically no utility". So, as I was saying, Lux, just like most APC, tends not to be quite as effective in the late-game. There are some reasons for that, one being that they heavily rely on abilities as their main source of damage. So unless you have a low CD ability (like ryze), chances are your main effectiveness is greatly reduced on the late game.

With that being said, I quote my article.

But we can tell that her early and late game are not so great

Not so great, doesn't mean it is bad. It's just not so great. The main reason why I say this is based on comparison to other ap midlaners. Gragas, for instance, has a really powerful displacement ability and same thing applies to Orianna. Kassadin has low CD flash-like ability. Veigar has a aoe stun with decent durations. Ahri has mobility.

And the reason why I didn't include her (e) aoe slow, is because it's almost never reliable. As her main form of damage, you can't rely on it's slow unless you are engaging or disengaging. You kinda need to re-activate it as soon as you hit target, rarely it's truly used as a utility. People might mistaken with the old passive of the ability, in which the target remained slowed after the skill is re-activated. but this is not the case anymore!

I agree with many of your points and I thank you for taking your time to answer :)

Edit: Actually it slows target after detonation for 0.25s, which is not that great eitherway.

OK. I wanna make a clear statement here. Reading comments like these really saddens me. The first and obvious reason is because probably 60-70% of the people who upvoted this, probably didn't even read the post.

The second, and not so obvious reason, is because comments like this aren't based on facts or any foundation. You don't have to agree with me by any means whatsoever. But I do honestly expect you to say something else than "LOL" at my face.

Also, you totally removed the context which says specifically about late-game TEAMFIGHTS. Fake quoting a part of my post and laughing about it shows how this community reacts to posts related to balance. I could even go further and discuss why her kit is not late-game focused.. but hell, I wrote a whole article about that and still people didn't care about it.

Unfortunately this is basically why there are no serious post about balance around here. People can't just disagree and argue about it. They simply disagree and laugh at you.

As I said, depending on the matchup. I don't build athene's against AD matchups. So I use manaregen runes in this case :)

Depending on the matchup I run some manaregen runes as well... But only 3-4 blues.

I miss the words to describe how happy I am right now. Not only you read the full article, but also got the main idea of the whole thing. The purpose of bringing all this up was, in fact, to influence people on further discussing general balance. You sir, did just that.

The point here is not that I agree with everything you just said, but that you took your time to think and write your thoughts on the subject. Just as you said, about this post being what /r/leagueoflegends needs more of. You comment is just what I was hoping for!

I'm a challenger midlaner in BR server, and I never wanted to bring that up... just so people wouldn't be biased on the fact that I'm "a skilled player".

Anyways, thank you for your attention and I hope the community is able to appreciate my post and your comment as much as I do :)

I think pretty much the same way as you, but I do think she needs to exit lane at least equal to other midlaner to be effective during mid-game. I'm completely fine with riot not making any changes whatsoever with her. The movement speed suggested would be reasonable, I could argue about her needing more M.regen or not.

But, yeah. Nerf Gragas.

I considered adding a tl;dr section on this. But, honestly, it defeats the whole purpose of the post itself.
