AaronSofaer:

Welp, I bought Vayne. There goes all of my hoarded IP.

She’s pretty crazy. Much more fun to play than Ashe, must be sure to try her out when playing with mxlm. Maybe I can make him play Taric or Soraka for me? That will go incredibly well, I can guarantee it.

I love the shit out of Taric, I will play Taric for you whenever you want. And I play him far more than mx. :p

Vayne puts out more damage than Ashe, but lacks the utility spells. It’s a tradeoff.

MrCoffee · 2011-09-05T05:58:02.000Z

And i would say she requires more skill and positioning to use properly.

I have found Lux yesterday. Played 2 games with the hero. She is more my type even than Jenna.

The thing with Lux, is that looks like do light damage. But his passive make that if you ignore his attacks, and you let then stack, you are going to suffer a huge damage hit.

She is equipped with a varied list of spells that in principle exist to assist others. She can give people a shield, she can root enemies. But then she can use these spells to hunt other players.

Even at high levels she don’t look like a heroe that does much. Except these “Lux is dominating the battle” voice-overs.

And then, she have the gigalazor ult. I don’t think you could hit 4 enemy heroes with it more than one or two times, but is scary enough. Is godforsaken unique to this character.

She is very self-contained, and don’t seems to need any equipment at all. I have tried to give she some boots of speed, with evades, and some damage props. This way she can walk around like if the whole map is empty, and do whatever she need.

On top of all, the character is modelled after a optimist blonde, with a enormous very likeable smiley.

MrCoffee · 2011-09-05T06:18:52.000Z

I love getting 40% CD reduction on Lux, having a 24 second cooldown on your ult is awesome and your enemies don’t expect it.

But her passive is hard to use properly after the laning phase is over.

guppy · 2011-09-05T07:01:00.000Z

Lux is great.

Yeah, that passive can lay down some hurt, but as Coffee says, after the laning phase being in position to use it can hurt.

You probably already know this, but like Karthus, after early game your ult is better used to soften up a team at the beginning of a fight than to kill runners.

She was destined to be another trollop but Riot’s focus group finally cried foul and they chastened her up. I like her look too.

Wingrow · 2011-09-05T11:19:27.000Z

And then you play a game where Sion rushes Tiamat and His stun…

People concern me.

AaronSofaer · 2011-09-05T11:36:24.000Z

It’s okay; I laned as Vayne with a Malphite who claimed that he didn’t have a slow or snare or root and stfu noob Vayne feeder.

Fun fact: she was never “chastened up”. The focus group crying foul was because she started out with the worst character art of all time. OF ALL TIME! I don’t mean people saying “Oh her boobs are too big and it offends me on behalf of women everywhere” like Irelia, she started out with the ugliest and worst Sailor Moon inspired awfulness ever. Someone described it as her killing Toucan Sam and making her armor from his corpse.

Cougar · 2011-09-05T12:02:55.000Z

This is the original Lux.

~C~

Nathan_Phoenix · 2011-09-05T12:04:35.000Z

Wow she looks like a superskank with winged boots there. Definitely a good call to redo the art.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2011-09-05T12:19:42.000Z

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? OH GOD MY EYES!!!

Seriously, that is the most retarded outfit ever. A circus clown would be embarassed to wear anything that stupid.

Anti-Bunny · 2011-09-05T12:25:50.000Z

Hello, all.

That concept art is bad, btw.

AaronSofaer · 2011-09-05T12:36:05.000Z

That’s possibly the worst concept art for a video game character I’ve ever seen.

jellyfish · 2011-09-05T13:53:53.000Z

I like it.

Except the original irelia looked awesome.

Looked great aside from the udderly ridiculous anatomic errors in the chest area. Something which they kept…

AaronSofaer · 2011-09-05T14:29:26.000Z

At least Irelia in the second picture looks like her armor is armor below the chest.

Wish she had something more like Lux’s armor, though. sigh

MrCoffee:

That was my point. I agree that it looked pretty awesome (and think the current art sucks) but there were plenty of people that bitched about how her breasts were too big and thus it was awful.
