100% agree. I think the thing with Lux is, fans don't like him more because of how he's perceived, more than actually something he did himself. Lux, for the most part, is a very quiet person and doesn't really say anything to warrant negative responses (like Verb does, for example). But because he's been put on a pedestal by his diehards, it has created this pushback towards him. Also, since fans put him on this level so high above everyone else, if he doesn't perform to this impossible standard, his detractors go "Lux was trash" or "Lux is overrated". When in reality, Lux does pretty good every battle (Not counting his Hollow, 2 on 2 or Calicoe performances where he was elite), but just not up to expectations. I also think the performance Lyt put on tonight hurt him a lot. Because they're constantly being compared and Daylyt had his best performance ever, and Lux was just okay/good.

Also, Lux's style just isn't tailored for this era anymore. If he battled more, he'd adjust, but honestly, it would hurt his brand if he started taking guys who would probably give him a competitive battle but aren't near his status.

I do want to hear his third round though, since he never got a chance to spit it. I bet after I rewatch the second, I'll give it to Lux more clear. I gave it to him first watch anyway, but I even had it debatable.
There's truth in that but you're discounting how boring and tedious it is to get through those perceived lackluster performances.

I missed out on the 2nd half of his 3rd because I honestly gave up and couldn't take no more

it’s crazy

I personally believe Verb/ Lux was a debatable preference battle.

However, if you remember the reaction last year after the event, they were acting as if Lux lost clearly, all because Verb was slightly more fan friendly in that battle.

Fans and his peers said he lost against Arsonal. People lowkey wanted to give Clips their battle but it was just too clear that Lux won.

Even with all this against him, he only lost one battle. You can debate everything else.

Verb is in the same boat. I mean Geechi won the poll, but you can’t tell me he won that battle. Fans saying DNA beat him. Shyt is disgusting.
