The League of Legends community is expressing concerns about Lux's mini rework in Wild Rift, the mobile version of the game. Lux, a popular champion in Riot's PC game, has undergone specific changes for the mobile adaptation, sparking worries among players about her effectiveness and playstyle.
Wild Rift has experienced tremendous growth recently, and the introduction of a new champion has players eager to see how they will perform on smaller screens. However, the alterations to Lux's abilities have left some players worried about her performance, especially in competitive matches.
On Reddit, one player writes, "Lux's ability update is making me so concerned for her competitive viability. She is essentially a different champion now, and it seems like she will be more vulnerable and weaker, unable to make significant contributions. I am so worried."
Another player adds, "I am concerned about Lux's update. I am not sure if I am the only one who played Lux in the last week, but it feels like the update did not improve her in any way, only making her weaker."
The concerns stem from how these changes may affect Lux's overall effectiveness in the game and whether she will lose some of her distinctive strengths in the process. Many players are worried that she will become less impactful in high-level play and less enjoyable to play as or against.
"The main concern is that she becomes irrelevant in high-level play," comments another player. "She has always been a champion with a high skill cap, punishing those unfamiliar with her kit. However, these changes make her a fragile, low-range support with an ineffective passive and lower damage output compared to Soraka."
While many players are concerned about Lux's viability, others are taking an analytical approach, adapting their strategies when playing as or against her.
"I am not overly worried about these changes," says another player. "Lux needs to be balanced on both platforms, and this rework offers a fresh perspective on her as a support. It will take some time to see how she performs on the new patch, but I am excited to experience it."
The Lux discussions continue to take place on various gaming forums and social media platforms as the player base eagerly awaits further information from the developers regarding Lux's abilities in Wild Rift.
While player concerns highlight the importance of balancing champions in mobile adaptations of popular games, the developer's silence on the matter so far may suggest that the changes are final. We will keep you updated with any further information about Lux's mini rework in Wild Rift, so stay tuned.
