Re: "Lux has high mana cost on E" - Yeah, she does. It's because the skill is so obscenely powerful that such a high mana cost is practically a requirement to keep Lux from tipping into outright bullshit territory. Honestly, she kind of skirts it now. Riot just keep band-aiding her kit instead of actually addressing the core problems.

If E had less power loaded into it then it wouldn't have to cost 130 mana at max rank. If her abilities didn't combine to produce a kit that's bursty with both safety and utility, she wouldn't have to have really long cooldowns on all of them except ult. Problem is, where do you really start? Ask 10 Lux players what makes Lux and you'll probably get at least three different answers. This is probably why Riot keep band-aiding instead of reworking her (or at least, her E), but at the moment I think they need to slap a few more on. She's too strong at the moment.
