Lux Bot meta analysis (Patch 26.16)

Lux holds a 52.1% win rate in the Bot role on Patch 26.16, right at the Bot role average of 52.1%. That is the 24th highest win rate of 42 Bot champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 1.1% pick rate (34th most played in the role) and a 3.4% ban rate, Lux rarely gets banned, so the pick is almost always available in champion select.

Patch 26.16 was good to Lux Bot: the tier rating climbed from D to C after the latest data merge, which usually means either direct buffs, favorable item changes, or nerfs to common lane opponents. At C tier, Lux is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Lux Bot games. The hardest matchups this patch are Ziggs (48.3% win rate for Lux) and Kaisa (48.8% win rate for Lux): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Jinx (55.8%) and Caitlyn (54.6%) are the matchups to look for, where Lux wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
