# This Game Isn't About Lux

> Source: [This Game Isn't About Lux](https://youtube.com/watch?v=4AFB2wucBQc)

## Summary

In this short clip, a coach explains a core MOBA principle: never help a losing lane. Instead, focus resources on strong lanes to maximize impact. The message is clear—let the 0/8 Lux rot, because the game isn't about her.

### Key Points

- **Ignore Losing Lanes** [00:01] — Directing attention away from a losing top lane to focus on strong bot and mid lanes.
- **Never Help a Losing Lane** [00:15] — Explicitly stating that you should never help a losing lane, contrary to common instinct.
- **Game Isn't About One Champion** [00:42] — Emphasizing that the game is not about one champion (Lux) and that her death doesn't matter.
