Testing Lux, the Lady of Luminosity
Preseason is upon us!
You know what that means, Ketara spends two weeks hiding from the world and creates a new gigantic Lux guide T_T.
Unfortunately, as I am still a volunteer English teacher in Asia, and will be until well after the season has started, this time I need a little help. While I am considering transferring my account to SEA so I can test the changes, I want to call upon some community testers this time.
This will not only help me out, but also make our next guide more accurate the more sources and games we have to test from.
So, what am I asking you to do?
1 - Read this thread. Occasionally I will update the OP asking for specific item builds, mastery pages and so on that I'd like tested.
2 - Play Lux and test the requested setup. Can be any format of game on Summoners Rift.
3 - Post about it in this thread. A proper testing post should include the following things.
- A link to Riots post game analysis page. If you play on a region that doesn't have this, a screenshot of both the end of game screen and damage dealt screen.
- A quick breakdown of what you built in the game in terms of runes/items/masteries. This will be in the link, but it will be easier to reference if it's also in the thread. Especially include anything out of the ordinary that you did or built, or anything that might not be referenced in the link, such as "I cleared with ult a lot this game".
- How you felt about the game and build. Be as brief or as Alaric as you want to be. Be sure to include things that might skew the results of the test, such as if somebody left the game, or if you got ganked a dozen times, or if anything altogether strange happened.
- Optional: A Replay
What will you get out of this?
Unfortunately, I can't really offer much, as I am a volunteer worker right now. But I will be paying people to test Lux games, a ridiculously small, third world country sort of amount.
If you test Lux games I will give you:
1 - My eternal gratitude!
2 - If you test at least 5 games, I will credit you in the new Lux guide thread as a contributor to the guide.
3 - If you test at least 50 games, I will gift you 5$ in RP.
4 - If you test at least 100 games, I will gift you 10$ in RP.
5 - Finally, I will double the RP gift for the person who tests the most games, or gift them 5$ in RP if the person who tests the most games tests less than 50.
I realize that's not a lot, but it's what I can offer. But hey, if you already play a lot of Lux, post about it in this thread and you might get paid 10 cents a game. Bright decision, IMO.
Please note that for the number of games "tested", I will only be counting games properly documented in this thread. If you post and just say "I played 50 games Lux is cool" I won't pay you, I need 50 post game links and 50 comments on what you thought about the game and build.
Occasionally I will also ask people to test certain game mechanics in customs. I will count these tests as 1 game tested, but only for the very first person who posts the results of the test.
If you'd like to be a tester, just start posting your thoughts on games! When you post your first game test I will sign you up right here in the OP.

Here's some things I'd like you guys to test.
For the Athenes build
- Does Feast feel good in difficult early game matchups (ex. Leblanc)
- When can you one shot caster minions with E
- If you can, try one CDR per level quint and tell me how that feels in comparison to AP, with specific emphasis on breakpoints of when spells kill caster minions
- If you upgrade Dark Seal to Mejais, is that awesome, is it only awesome because you were going to win the game anyway, or does it seem better to just sit on Dark Seal
For the Ludens build
- When can you one shot caster minions with E
- If you can, try one CDR per level quint and tell me how that feels in comparison to AP, with specific emphasis on breakpoints of when spells kill caster minions
For the Armguard build
- Does Feast feel good in difficult matchups early game matchups (ex. Yasuo)
- Do mana glyphs feel better than mana regen glyphs
- When can you one shot caster minions with E
For Support Lux
- Basically, how does everything feel lol
- Very specifically how does early game feel

Lets try an easier test till another patch hits and games slow down some more.
Test one game with Double Edged Sword + Vampirism, and one game with Feast + Natural Talent using the same build, and tell me which feels like its giving you more damage/sustain at early game and at late game.
