Lex is overpowered, Deal with it

[Darkronous the Supreme Senpai]

Okay normally i'm calm and level headed when i make a post but this time i'm really♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i've had several matches today where i had to fight a lex as a frontline and the lex destroy me. ♥♥♥♥ lex, Sorry people but i don't care lex is ♥♥♥♥ing overpwoered, he does too much damage, he can escape too easily, And he can go 1v1 with a frontliner and come out on top, He's overpowered, if you are saying other wise, you either misinformed, Some rank player who only jerks off that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ meta or a fility lex main who doesn't want to his "spam left click to win every 1v1" People stop hurting the game and just admit that lex needs a hard, HARD nerf. I know i'm gonna get some snide jerk saying i'm just salty and to that response i have to say, Of course i'm bloody salty Casual players have to deal with a broken champion because evilmojo buffed him because his firerate was too confusing for rank player, We have to deal with this Broken champion every day because of this♥♥♥♥, Lex is more broken then dredge, more annoying then lian and more frustrating then spamdroxus was

Yeah a flank should totally be able to kill a 4000+ health champion without reloading thats not overpowered right? Their is a difference between being a flank and being a damage dealer with high mobility, aka lex is the latter, lex is broken and to defend it as "most frontlines can't 1 v1 a flank" is asassinine might i remind you flanks are suppose to to attack from behind, lex can attack from intfront of ya and still take out most your health before you have a chance to kill him

This is also the description of Talus and Skye, while Lex might have slightly more damage they are still in the same range. Talus and Skye can both deal a lot of damage without reloading, attacking head on while having extreme movement speed boosts, just like Lex. This leads me to why he is not overpowered, in my eyes; serveral other flanks are comparable to him, yet you don't see people complaining about Talus or Skye being overpowered, do you?

not to mention as several other people have pointed out in this post (and since you didn't adress them its quite clear you didn't read them) he has cards in his deck that increase his speed after doing a THREE SECOND escape ability, and he has damage talent cards

Talus and Skye also have cards that increase their movement speed; Talus can have increased movement speed as long as he is in Rune of Travel (a long time), and Skye can have increased movement for 3s as long as she touches her Smoke Screen (which she can have almost unlimited of). Talus has no damage talent cards (but has a damage boost ability), and Skye has THREE damage talents.

I agree with you here. It's a fundamental (opinionated) problem in Paladins with champions being too unique ability wise, leading to unbalance. Some examples are Makoa's hook, Strix's flare, Torvald's shield, Inara's self boosted healing, etc. He does get 500-1500 more credits than other champions, which can be unbalanced in certain situations. Lowering the credits will just be a bad thing, however; they should rework this ability entirely to bring balance back.

Lex is broken, their was no skil in the lex, just some douchebag kid who knows he is broken and wants to ruin fun. Sorry but back in my day when someone was using a broken loadout we called them out and we didn't pretend like their was a skill difference

There's no skill in a lot of champions, you just have to look at the champions as a whole. When I said skill difference, I wasn't talking about individual champion skill but the skill of the person, like someone's rank. The new matchmaking they have been testing out has been shaking up the range of skill in matches. I've had a casual game where someone who was account level 447 was on the same team as someone who was account level 58. If your teammates are less skilled than the enemies, which is happening a lot nowadays, then an enemy (Lex) could easily dominate.

Puts you to think how stupid the Talent cards idea is.

[Incel-chan =w=]

The fact that Andro's punch was nerfed to infinite and 0.5s really makes you wonder what's the difference... Ohhh well, Lex is kind okay for me...

[Cuddly rat]

Andro's heads will roll is even worse. I have been 4 shotted by andro in few secs and dead.

Lex sure has high dps but he needs to be close to you to deal full damage.
Some frontlines can't deal with flanks because they can deal high burst damage and run away easily.

[cakeulovesu]

Lex can shoot every .25s. He currently does 350dmg/shot, for a total 1400dps.
If you decrease his dmg to 220, he would have an abominable 880dps.
Considering his movement is purely horizontal, and he can't really escape.
He can only slide on the ground for a bit, while Androxous can do the same distance three times and almost instantly and can do it in the air, Maeve can double jump, pounce in the air for air time, can prowl for higher movement speed and higher jumps, koga can walk on walls, dash three times and can agility for higher movement speed and so on.
Lex, without his high dmg output, would only have his wallhack, that obviously is random and just gives you more credits. I think he's actually weak - as he has low range and is really imprecise. In my opinion, he should have more movement and he should be able to pick his targets somehow.

[cakeulovesu]

Also, he doesn't even have the highest damage output of all the flanks. Andro has it, with his 0.36s fire speed and 1080dmg per shot with HWR for a total of 3240damage in 1.08s, which is more than twice Lex's damage.

without reading the discussion, Lex is bad. He is a bad flank, a bad champ and so on... just learn how the game works, he is easy to beat

Yeah no, He is overpowered, And you didn't even bother to read wich means you are clearly a rank player and considering rank's mobility fetish, Lex could one shot EVERY champion with one bullet and you guys would still say he's a bad flank, just saying perhaps you should try to remove the bias glasses from your eyes

Okay i can see maeve being more annoying then lex, but Evie seriously? Evie is really easy to deal with, if your point had any merit to it, you kinda just destroyed it

You obviously have never played against a skilled Evie. She's considered the hardest character in the game to master because you have to be doing something every moment of the match. The amount of times I've tilted people cause i would blink in, pop their healer and blink out before they could react... "if I had a dollar".

Lex isn't OP at all.... I've only met one player in lower elo that was "good" with Lex. And they suffered when their elo got higher and had to change to keep winning.

Seris Soul Collector main, I take nimble because nobody helps support in casual. With nimble, I can take out most Lexx unless distracted. Cassie is much harder to deal with as a flank IMO because of her range. I am good at listening for footsteps, doesnt work with cassie

[TheMercifulGuard]

Lex is overpowered. You're not wrong.



But that only applies to casuals and ranked platinum matches and below.
Above that is where the line of counterpicks become more felt. You'll be dealing with people with good awareness so Lex won't perform well that way. Pretty much almost all flanks actually.

you mean there are players who dont die constantly from ignoring the enemy flanks over and over and over (blame the healer) and over and over? I dont believe you lol
