Lux is one of the most popular champions in League of Legends. So we are listing our picks in descending order from “worst” to “best”. Keep in mind, that we already selected the five best Lux ADC champions, so this ranking is only a distinction between our picks.
While it may seem a weird combination at first since Kai’Sa is best with an engager support, the Lux-Kai’Sa bot lane is equally good. The support mage offers a longer range and great crowd control with her Q which allows Kai’Sa to use her spells for a quick trade. In addition, both offer long-range poke that can make the laning phase quite unplayable for the enemies. The main weakness of this duo, however, is that it struggles against hard engage and if it falls behind, it becomes hard to recover.
“Danger is real, fear is an illusion.”
Most ADCs that must be paired with Lux are going to be marksmen with strong wave clear to pressure the enemies. Jinx belongs to this category, taking advantage of her rockets to quickly kill the minions. While they don’t have the best potential on the LoL 2v2 map, both champions can use their long-range abilities to poke and harass the enemy laners and get lane priority which can be used to capture early game objectives. Moreover, Jinx scales well into the late game and follow up on Lux’s burst damage with her own ultimate.
Ezreal is yet another champion that relies on the poke to be effective. That said, contrary to Varus, Ezreal needs his two core items (Mythic Item and Manamune) to become an effective carry. Therefore, Lux will be the one “dictating” the lane in terms of how aggressive or passive it must be played.
After the end of the laning phase, the main goal of Lux and Ezreal will be able to poke enemies and chunk them before the start of a teamfight or to gain control of an objective. As Lux, if you’re able to land spells consistently, you will always find an opportunity to get a takedown.
“Are we supposed to be… dating… or something? We’ve never even talked.”
Jhin is a particular champion who, even though he doesn’t have much poke, still manages to exert lane dominance with its AoE damage. The Virtuoso can quickly follow up on any spell that Lux uses to add damage in trade. The shining point of the combo, however, is the two long-range ultimates that can be used from the backline to shred through any target. When playing around dragon or Baron Nashor, this combo becomes even more lethal and unless the enemies have a champion face tanking all the damage, you will have the upper hand.
That said, the best ADC with Lux is no other than Caitlyn. If you’re wondering why it’s a tier above all the other bot lane combinations, it’s all about the extended crowd control the two champions can pile up and connect. Once an enemy is rooted with either Lux’s Q or Caitlyn’s traps, he is probably going to be dead. The CC chain will not allow him to get away and both champions’ damage will be more than enough to take him down.
What’s even better about this bot lane duo, however, is the sieging potential it offers. Even if the enemies don’t get pinned down by the combos, they won’t able to match the pushing power and will never get lane priority. Not having it means that the enemies are going to be a sitting suck for most of the early game, as they will lose all control over the lane.
