Lux Bot meta analysis (Patch 26.17)

Lux holds a 54.0% win rate in the Bot role on Patch 26.17, 1.7 points above the Bot role average of 52.3%. That is the 6th highest win rate of 42 Bot champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 1.0% pick rate (34th most played in the role) and a 3.8% ban rate, Lux rarely gets banned, so the pick is almost always available in champion select.

Lux Bot slipped from S to A tier in Patch 26.17. A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At A tier, Lux is a solid ranked choice that rewards matchup knowledge more than raw stats.

Champion select decides a lot of Lux Bot games. The hardest matchups this patch are Tristana (49.3% win rate for Lux) and Kaisa (51.9% win rate for Lux): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Jinx (55.6%) and Caitlyn (55.2%) are the matchups to look for, where Lux wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
