A small buff regarding Lux

Make all her spells be able to detonate the passive applied by another spell (similar to how her R already detonates the passive applied by either Q or E).

Right now, she needs to Q > AA > E > R > AA in order to achieve maximum damage, which NO ONE ever does because it's counterintuitive to walk in range of enemy just to proc passive in between her spells. Not to mention, the snare will wear off before she can cast her ult.

She's one of the few champions who cannot fully utilize their passive, which is why all Lux players only bother doing QER + Flash AA to get the last slither of health. I know she's already in pretty good standing right now but since Riot wants to make her relevant for pro play, I think this would be a good direction to take as its not a flat damage buff

There's a reason why long range mages have auto attack passives, look at Ziggs and Xerath. They're too safe otherwise.

Plus, you're overlooking the fact that Lux does not need to proc her passive from her Q, Q+E+R will oneshot any squishy. And against tanks she should put herself at some risk if she wants to do full damage.

I disagree on both your buff proposal and your statement that "she's in a good spot". She's NOT in a good spot, she was around 46-47% winrate in high Elo the other day (didn't bother to check today but I guess more or less is the same) . This said, your proposal would make her too strong for a simple reason: Imagine a Q-E-illumination -thunderlord harass from her max range. Seems a little bit too oppressive don't you think? If this happened she would get damage nerfs for sure. Her W buff currently on PBE seems pretty impactful on paper we'll see how it goes. The Q buff only affects a time frame when you are not spamming Q anyway so I don't see its point but still better than nothing I guess..
