\"Lux-title\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It would be fair to say that Lux wasn’t my first love in League of Legends<\/a>, \u00a0that honour goes to Irelia, and whilst I currently Zyra main in Twisted Treeline, when it comes to Summoners Rift Lux will always be my true love.<\/p>\n

I kind of set my sights on her at level 25 or so, once my initiation period into Lol and position testing ended and I settled on AP caster mid as my ‘main’ position (Irelia top notwithstanding). \u00a0I think I may have been on the receiving end of a Lux snowball and my takehome from that game was an awestruck “wow!”<\/p>\n

Lux’s skill set caught my eye, \u00a0a very reasonable set of tools for lane clear and harass, with a skill-shot ulti and a burst potential that \u00a0blew me away at how good it was. \u00a0 You feed\u00a0Lux at your own peril.<\/p>\n

I’ve been playing League of Legends now since Season 3 (so around the start of 2013). I wouldn’t say that I am particularly good at it, to be fair it’s more a casual thing for me,\u00a0I play mainly 3-man with a couple of friends but little more,\u00a0put it this way I won’t be winning any money at an e-sports tournament any time soon that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

Having said that I want to get back into it, start playing 5 man regularly, and eventually solo queue, and for me that means only one champion, \u00a0Luxanna Crownguard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What this is about<\/h4>\n

So as I have said my game rating (elo) is nothing to write home about, though I do consider myself reasonably proficient, and with a little practice (well a lot of practice) and some science I think I may be able to get somewhere, but in doing so I think it would be easier to accomplish with a champion I love to play hence this project.<\/p>\n

My plan is simple. \u00a0A little bit of study combined with 50 games of standard 5 man. Mechanically my play is reasonably sound, though there’s always room for improvement, creep score being one area that needs work. I plan to write about my experiences getting back in the groove with Lux and then after coming up with a strategy and a short list for other positions (I can jungle, top and adc to some extent but Its not really been a focus, my support is usually reasonable, mid is my power game though). \u00a0Once those games are out of the way I intend to hit Solo queue and see where Im at.<\/p>\n

I am planning on recording the games, revising my build knowledge (I can see me opting for Luden’s<\/a> for some crazy jukes), though Ive got a pretty sharp build order anyway, \u00a0but needless to say research and practice is what these first 50 games are all about anyway.<\/p>\n

I’m also hoping this mini project will make me start to like league again also. I sort of got disillusioned with it last year, more due to the unfair way lol handles ranked game matching, in Twisted Treeline at least, but also because I’d gone\u00a0through a lot of games in a short period of time and consequently burnt out on it. Needless to say I’ll take these ones in my stride, though I don’t think I could ever burn out on Luxxy.<\/p>\n
