Some buff ideas for Lux
Here's a couple ideas i have to make lux feel better overall :
1 . Slightly improve her base attack speed values for level 1-8(total Attack speed at level 18 unchanged) and increase her base AD by 4 .
-
Passive : Now also grants true sight for 1.5 seconds on the marked target , Also additionally increases her max cdr cap by 0%/10%(at level 10) up to 40%/50% max cdr , Cosmic insight has no effect on lux and it automatically gets swapped for Approach velocity.
-
Q: Also knocks down targets hit , similar to Malzahar's ult .
-
W: Allies affected by the outgoing part of the shield receive a slight flat movespeed bonus (25/30/35/40/45) while Lux is granted the movement speed after the shield returns to her , the movespeed bonus is slowly decaying over 5 seconds .
-
E: Minions in the AoE are additionally slowed by an extra 30%. Increase the lingering slow's duration from 0.25 to 0.5.
-
R: If the ability only hits minions ,cooldown is partially refunded by 10%/15%/20% (based on ability rank)
Reasons for the changes :
-
Her auto attacks simply feel horrible in the early game and there's also a lot of cases where you lose minions because of the removal of the 5 bonus damage .
-
The true sight won't hurt and it's a simple situational buff . The cdr cap increase is to accommodate for 40% cdr builds that also use transcendence , it would also allow the option of a more battle mage kind of Lux that can actually make good use of her passive(Like Ludens banshee's lich bane transcendence).
-
The Q change is a pure QoL buff.
-
W buff is a slight buff to Lux's supportive identity and defensive power, helping to solidify her as a jack-of-all trades kind of mage.
-
The E buff is to allow Lux to more easily clear waves by enabling her to preemptively throw an E and allow all the minions to get in it , combined with the E cooldown starting on cast rather than after detonation would allow her to have some better waveclear at the cost of more mana instead of being just so heavily outclassed by xerath azir and orianna in both clear speed mana consumption and teamfight power
-
This change is to allow her to do something similar to what ezreal can do with his R when he needs a wave eliminated asap. It would also give her a bit more viable options regarding ult usage .
