[GAMEPLAY] Lux Minimap Aiming Bug

When Lux uses her ultimate ability, Final Spark, while the cursor is on the minimap, her ultimate fires towards the minimap (bottom right corner at default) rather than the location on the minimap that corresponds to the location the player would like to use the ability towards. Essentially, while aiming at top lane, her ultimate will shoot towards bottom lane on the location of the cursor in the camera. This "bug" happens everytime her ultimate is cast on the minimap.

I am not sure if this is a bug as I searched up this subject and read complaints about players missing their abilites because of the minimap aiming feature so I though that Riot had purposely removed that feature. However, Ashe can still shoot her ultimate in the direction of the minimap. This leads me to believe that this feature is indeed a bug. I never had any issues with using Lux's ultimate on the minimap until today, 2/2/19 while in an ARURF game. I then tried it out in Practice Tool and it has consistently been shooting towards the bottom right corner of the screen instead of the corresponding minimap location.

I am using a Lunar Empress Lux skin on the North America server. Please fix this so I can play Lux like I usually do and if this "bug" was on purpose, please add a function that allows players to select a box in the "minimap" section of "interface" in the "options" GUI to alter their preference regarding minimap aiming.

To clarify where the option would be added:

Options (Esc is default hotkey) >> Interface >> Minimap

Thank you for your time!!

Ok, thanks, I wasn't sure because I couldn't find this in the patch notes review. Maybe I was reading too quickly or they just didn't mention it.

Its listed under Patch 9.2 listed as Minimap Targeting

this was changed purposefully because no one uses the minimap to aim a lux ult.

Actually some of us did use the minimap. And the fix has been one major inconvenience. Bring back clickability to the minimap. Or at least give us the option to have it.

MINIMAP TARGETING DISABLED Lux's R - Final Spark, Nami's R - Tidal Wave, and ARAM's Mark spell (yeah yeah it's not a champion ability) no longer use Minimap Targeting. If your cursor is over the minimap when casting one of these, it'll fire in the target direction instead.

Actually a lot of minimap targetting was ruined - not just those abilities.
