Small Quality of Life Change For Lux

So when they did the W changes to Lux I wasnt a huge fan of them and I stopped playing her. Not saying they were a bad change or an unneeded change but it was one that hurt me ever so slightly. Lux is in a pretty good spot right now I feel, at least for lower elo. Although she does have a 50% win rate in Plat+ which is solid. So I dont think anything super drastic is in order. So today I recommend a small quality of life change to her W.** Lux's W can be quite aggravating in short skirmishes**, for example in lane. You throw your w to help you trade, get tht first initial shield tht kind of helps but more likely then not the second part of the shield is not going to make it back before the skirmish is over which makes it almost useless unless you are playing someone with a DOT(ie. Swain,Cass, etc.) So, I recommend that you be able to pick the range of your W and not have it be a fixed distance. This would really help with short skirmishes, like a stated earlier, in the laning phase and actually make it a somewhat interesting ability to use with some diversity in the way you use it. Do I make it go max range to give a shield to my team or do I be selfish and i give myself double shield. The answer will vary depending on the situation but having tht option to me is a plus. I would be ok if they** gave a min range that it has to go instead of it being a insta-cast double shield to compromise this change**. I think this would be a great change for Lux and would love if it actually went through. Let me know what you guys think! TLDR IN BOLD

The only QoL that Lux needs is her Laugh should not disrupt movement.

the whole point of the shield nerf was so you couldnt completely bullshit someone in a trade

All they really have to do is buff the secondary shield at this point. First, instant shield, should be small. The secondary (after waiting 2 years for it to return) should have a bigger bonus.

The shield should apply the total amount to allies hit.

It's still a very small shield compared to others.

I think the only way you could make her less oppressive and give that QOL change you are asking for is simply give Lux's shield no cast time, this would allow to manage better trades without making her invincible.
