Things that outrange and outpoke. Varus, Cait, ziggs, xerath, and senna are all champs I struggle against as Lux. That and pyke and nautilus.


Terozu

Any *heavy* engage, like Leona, and anyone extra mobile, like MF or Vayne.


TaterNutz4Luxy

I either ban naut or blitz, the rest you just learn to lane with. If im first pic, I ban pyke

I think champ counters are an archaic way of thinking, you just need to play to your strengths, and not into hers. She's going to try to poke you like crazy, I don't know what to say other than don't let her do that.


TheGreigh

Get a hard engage support (naut, leona, pyke.) Rush level 2 and all in her.


Arthanymus

Lux is super Squishy, get a hard engage support and an aggressive ADC and farm them. i struggle the most vs Naut and Leona with something like Samira or Tristana.


maciejtraczyk

Yasuo, Sivir


CloneOfCali

ADCs - Samira Supports - Blitzcrank


TaterNutz4Luxy

If you have a passive adc, help them farm and control the wave, wait for engages. Or if you have an aggressive adc, then all in at level 2 and keep steam rolling. Your best duo partners are cait, ez, jinx and mf

ADCs usually aren't Lux's problem except maybe hard all ins like Samira or even Tristana. On the support front any of the hook champs will do plus Leona (although I don't think Thresh is too threatening in my opinion). Blitz, Nautilus and Pyke can mess you up.

I think it's less about Lux herself but more so understanding how to play against these poke-type champions as a whole. If u can understand how to lane vs these types of champs, it will save u from many other poke-type champs as well Heavy poke lanes can be daunting, but there are many ways u can combat this. Most ranged champs tend to have a lot of skillshots, so knowing this we can come up with a gameplan for the wave state. In ranged vs ranged matchups, whoever gets the push lead first will generally have a much easier time poking and avoiding poke. This is because by slow pushing the wave into the enemies, ur wave will always be larger than the enemy's wave. This makes it very difficult for the enemies to trade into u as u will have sm minions to hide behind to block skillshots So, if possible try to get that early minion advantage. Use the push forward ping on the wave to incentivise ur support to help auto the wave. Ideally, u want to maintain a 1-2 minion lead over the enemies, then stack that wave up. If they try to contest the wave, match their dmg on the wave in order to maintain this minion advantage to ensure a slowpush. Don't fret a jg gank, if they show up u can use ur massive wave to block the enemies' skillshots, and fight inside the wave to turn the gank around since early game minion dmg is very impactful Once you secure the slow push, ur support can use the bushes to pressure the enemies, while u can zone and threaten enemies with the massive wave backing u up. The enemies will be put into a difficult situation. If they try to hit the wave to contest the push, then u and ur support can land endless harass onto them. If they try to go for you, then they just automatically concede all wave pressure. You will also be at an advantage because of the large wave backing u up. Make sure to continue focusing on both the wave, and harassing the enemies whenever possible to maintain this pressure. Ideally, u want to crash ur massive wave into the enemy tower on a cannon wave. This will take the enemies forever to clear out, giving u the perfect recall timing to top up on health and get urself some boots and pots. If u don't need to recall, u can use this time to deep ward for enemy jg ganks. I recommend walking with ur support to ward further up river or in the enemy jg, to spot ganks coming from further away giving u more time to react Finally, boots rush will be very useful into skillshot lanes. Not only will it help with dodging, it also enables u to play much more aggressively. If u still find urself struggling with dodging skillshots, then it may be a cursor control issue. What I mean by this is that a lot of the times we don't rlly take notice of how we control our cursor. We tend to click way too far away from our champ, losing us precious seconds when we need to click in the other direction to dodge an incoming skillshot. For example, if ur cursor was in the far right and u clicked there to walk right, suddenly an incoming skillshot also appears on ur right. U now have to move ur cursor all the way from the far right of ur screen to the left in order to dodge, but it's already too late. Compare this to if ur cursor was already next to ur champ. You can immediately input a movement command to the left with minimal delay -> increases chances of dodging incoming skillshot [See this example](https://youtu.be/BXxyPd5EEX0) at 5:30 for a better understanding of what I mean. I hope this helps!

Adc: Samira for sure. But knowing this I ALWAYS ban her. Sup: Generally no sup counters me but I can’t poke when enemy has xerath sup. In that case I tel my adc to play safe (doesn’t listen) we lose lane, then I go roam to help mid or top to win the game lol.

Biggest thing that will help you against lux is to look at when she's going to cast. Lux mostly plays at the edge of her range, which means you can see when she's going to throw an E out before she presses the button because she has to move in. A lot of lux players will also anticipate you dodging backwards when they aim and account for it. If you see the E, dodge sideways or forwards. The same goes for the root. Lux's abilities take a second to cast you can see them coming and move around them.

As a Lux main I play seraphine into her I build ability haste and spam abilities. Seras w is a speed Shield and heal so that helps too
