How to Use Lux Counter Data
Need dependable answers on what beats Lux? The matchup figures here are pulled from live ranked Support games, not from tier-list opinions. At the moment, the toughest picks against Lux are LeBlanc, Amumu, and Poppy, since Lux’s win rate falls furthest below her average in those games. LeBlanc is the most effective counter of the group: Lux has won only 43.8% of 308 recorded games against her. On the other side, Smolder, Malphite, and Mel are matchups where Lux holds the advantage, so they’re worth targeting during champion select.
Every card lists Lux’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on. A result drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more weight than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even, and Hard tags are assigned from those win rates: under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy, and anything between is Even. They simply help you read the numbers quickly and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so the figures shift as the meta does. For the best items and runes, open the current Lux build page; for her abilities and complete details, visit the Lux champion page.
