Just made a thread on GD about Lux being OP... got downvoted and closed in 30 minutes. Ah LoL community.

Do any other APs even come close at the moment? She's like Xerath but with a whole support champ's kit stuck on top. It's crazy.

Stronger junglers don't need to take those things into consideration, or rely on teammates leaving lanes and missing CS to come bail you out. Lee Sin/Olaf/Vi just wreck you themselves. They don't need to be super careful about early pressure because they can take care of themselves in the jungle without being significantly better (if at all) than Sejuani in other phases of the game. And then say Sejuani makes it to the late game. What does she provide? Excellent initiation, AoE damage and slows? Plenty of junglers that can do that with stronger early games.

Tier 4 is the "These champs are capable of wrecking face but are really situational and easily countered" tier. Sejuani is capable of great things, but a dedicated counterjungler/duelist shits all over her and there's basically nothing she can do about it. Other junglers are much more self-sufficient. When she gets up and running, she's a beast, but it's reasonably easy to put her out of commission early. 

Anyone drawing any kind of conclusions from this without seeing numbers is dumb as rocks.

Mantra'd shield now shields in an AoE, like Thresh's lantern but probably with better numbers.

You don't pick Lux for OMFG BURST. You pick Lux because she has decent burst AND hella range AND a ton of utility AND a semi-global presence. 

She's like Taric in that she's not the best at any one thing, but she brings so many things to a midlane that she's impossible to ignore.

I've always said this: jack-of-all-trade champs are by design either too good or just meh. Lux is the former.

Elise's Q is pretty stupidly powerful right now. Her range advantage top lane is already pretty stupid - all she needs is a split second in range and she gets to chunk you for significant amounts of damage. This will just make matching up against her slightly less unfair. 

Wow, really impressed by this. Especially the Traditional skin, very classy move Riot.

But wasn't that exactly what they wanted with the Gemcraft changes? If it isn't... why give him a passive like that? If it is... why nerf him?

The Taric stun nerf makes me roll my eyes. Is there any other skill in the game that goes up by such tiny increments?

Riot, let the first Taric nerfs sit for a little while. Just because he was too good doesn't mean you now have to make him bad.
