Lux Changes
Patch 26.4
changeLux is straightforward to play, which means she should look quite strong in the hands of most players. Unfortunately, she isn't doing particularly well, especially as a support. Our changes this patch are a mix of skewing her base stats to be more synergistic with the World Atlas and a direct injection of power aimed at making both her primary roles better.
Stats
- Base mana reduced to 440 from 480.
- Base mana regeneration increased to 9 from 7.
Light Binding
- Cooldown changed to 10 seconds at all ranks from 11/10.5/10/9.5/9.

- Cooldown reduced to 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds from 14/13/12/11/10.
Patch 25.24
buffLux is one of the easier to pick up champions in the game, both in mid lane and as a support but despite that, she's generally on the weaker side, especially in mid. To help her shine we're giving her a bit more damage when she manages to catch enemies with her Light Binding.
