Lux and Morgana

I don't know which needs to change, but Morgana and Lux have very similar abilities. The shields are very different and Lux's snare hits 2 targets unlike Morgana's. Lucent Singularity and Tormented Soil are very different. There are a lot of holes in this theory, so I'll wrap it up. Morgana and Lux both have an AoE, a shield, and a snare. I feel this makes them the same. My brother and I have started calling Morgana "Purple Lux" as well as "Evil Lux". I mean, what do you guys think?

(So anyone having CC, temporary shields, and ANYTHING that can hit more than one anemy at a time is an unoriginal champ?) (That's not what I meant and you know it.)

Bit of lore: Morgana resides in Noxus. Lux worked as a Demacian spy, and is a prodigy at casting spells after watching them cast only once. On a trip in to Noxus, she saw Morgana use Dark Binding and reverse engineered it to work with her favored style, Light. Hence the similar name and function.

From a gameplay perspective there are a lot of abilities that are really similar. Brand W and Zyra Q - and there isn't even lore to ease that similarity.

So is that "and is a prodigy at casting spells after watching them cast only once" part the explanation for the spellthief skin, too? That's cool, I guess.

It's part of her original lore and was probably included to demonstrate her magical aptitude and explain the similarities. And is also why she was drafted so young.

EDIT: Spell thief was a release skin, IIRC, so yeah.
