This game really wants me to play Lux. Every time I open a chest it's a skin for her.

I like Jinx, but her spike takes a while.
I rarely find anything as satisfying as an endgame Jinx with a max stacked Q kiting tanks around, or those delicious AoE crits.

Give me some tips and I'll take her out for a spin
Land Q, use ult
There's a reason Lux is usually high winrate, her kit plays itself.

OT Hard Carry
Land Q, drop E, auto, R, trigger E while laser is firing. Free mejai stacks.
Also use W for free assists on fights (+ stacks)

Actually, as someone who hates playing with (bad) Luxes, please be very careful about roaming. Too often I see Lux players try to roam, haplessly get caught in river, die, and then lose all control of mid. Or they show up second and miss everything. You want to keep your wave pushed out, snag people from distance, and win bigger engagements. Buy control wards, place them defensively, and be aware of where you can get jumped on from. When you have vision control you can more easily catch enemies (especially the support when warding). Grouping up helps you a lot because then its harder for the other team to do so and your W, E and R can hit multiple targets. Good Luxes are terrors after lane phase.
she's fairly straight forward:
- as soon as u have a mana item+blue abuse e range in lane to poke them out. just look when they're gonna last hit and shoot it at em over and over again
- it's faster to auto e and mash e than e'ing first then auto'ing so abuse that as much as u can for quick trades or to last hit more efficiently
- don't always insta-detonate e, sometimes it's good for zoning
- use fog of war to fish for q's, that's basically all your mid-game, just hiding and catching ppl out
- try to fight in straight line situations, like jungle choke points or whatever
- i see a lot of ppl use blue trinket on lux for help with snipes but i actually prefer taking red trinket. lets you clear ur path while roaming which lets you catch ppl by surprise
that's about it, she's not super difficult or anything

The trick is knowing how to play on every match up. Know if you are weaker or stronger in the early game and fight when you hit your power spikes. Usually I see Kayles wait until 6 to go aggressive if they are matched poorly. Most of the time though, Kayle is the more aggressive one since she is ranged especially on top lane where champs are more melee focused.

Well Lux is fun, I didn't do too great but I'm sure i can get better with time. Now i need 3000 dust for that Elementalist shard

I think Kayn players are actually worse than Riven/Yas players.
so far 90% of the time i am in bot i am sup
but i feel like i should have 1-2 champs i like in each lane. i prefer tanky guys (top), fun mages (mid) and support but still trying to find a jg and bot i like
why does everyone say not to play adc?
this week with free kayn and the icon missions have been awful at my low level
ready to see someone else in the jungle who isnt an edge lord

Because ADC is suffering

Yeah games last around 35 minutes but can go up to an hour. Maybe try hots :^).
acc 35 minutes is too much for a medium. ims earching something competitive, but at areound 30 minutes per game
HotS or the more casual League modes are pretty much going to be your only options.
I recommend neither.
Your post doesn't need the "or".
Sure, that's always a possibility but the thing is in Dota the item costs a decent amount and literally the only thing on it is the ability to have flash on a very short cooldown. It's not an item that every champion is going to buy, not everyone buys one in Dota. Sure, there's nothing stopping highly mobile champions from buying a blink dagger to be even more mobile but I'm not so sure that people will default to that option because again, it probably won't be the most reasonable item to buy for many of them. There are a number of champions though that are melee in particular that aren't very good at team fights because they can be kited so easily.
that's gonna be difficult to find in league
games for me last 30 on average, but often more than that
i do find ranked games to be shorter than normal games cos ppl play better, exploit leads and don't throw as much, specially the higher i ranked the quicker games got, but 30 is a solid average
yeah but doto is real different
like blink dagger won't solve league's issues if there's any (there is but imo much exaggerated)

So far I got Elementalist, spell thief and resistance. The only other champ i have a bunch of shards for is mundo
The strongest champions I've seen are Master Yi, Tristana, Tryndamere, Jax, Hecarim but really there are loads of others that are really strong. Basically highly mobile split pushing gods that are also really pretty ridiculous in team fights because mana and cooldowns are basically not a thing.
I was in a lane playing Tristana with Taric in bot lane and we could have won the game in 9 minutes given we had already taken their inhibitor in 8 but I was having fun and didn't want to end it that early. They stopped sending people down to us because Tristana is so broken, her Q is basically always up and I can repeatedly use E just after it blows up.
looking at the splashes again, i feel like ahri got the short end of the stick
seems like everyone got a little familiar, but ahri's by far the worst
soraka has this awesome badass looking pokemon that you can tell means business and doesn't take shit from nobody
mf skin is bad but she has two lovely pirate keijo dudes
ezreal's is a bit of a more serious pokeymon but he's like a fun flying cat, cmon
syndra's orbs may not be full-on familiars but they make up for it in personality
finally we have this asshole care bear piece of shit that not even a mother could love
syndra splash is too good not to buy tho...
fucking riot lol
spellthief i actually really like, it's simple but cool looking and the new splash is pretty nice (tho not as good as this)
resistance is trash tho, cash that one in to get elementalist or something else

(this is all for goofs tho, all the splashes are great)
elementalist lux is good, but not really worth the money outside of the benefit of her spells being harder to see, but the one that looks like megaman is even better for that (or star guardian)

I wish I was adept at video footage, because I played against a Gnar who made one of the worst plays I've ever seen a couple of games ago. He's poking me down under tower a bit, but I'm still at 70% (Rumble). He transforms, then walks under tower a bit, whiffs his ult completely, draws aggro with his Q, then hops straight on top of me before trying to flash out and dying. I didn't even go below 30% HP and I had shield and flash. A boosted animal in the wild if ever I saw one.
You don't need to be adept. Client has a built in replay system.
