Ideas for Lux changes

Lux is a very hard champion to properly balance, and we get that. Rito personally said that if her q missile speed was to increase, then her burst/one-shot potential has to be nerfed, and Rito doesn't want to go in that direction. But, as the waifu of so many players ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), it's sad to see Lux barely getting picked in high Elo. Her cooldown and unreliable wave-clear make Lux rather lackluster in higher level plays. That's why we have some suggestions towards slight changes towards her kit:

Mandatory changes:

1. Make lux be able to cast her shield while moving. Her w is very lackluster when it comes to escaping ganks/ all-ins, and often times using it only results in a free kill for the enemy. Also, she is the only champ that I can think of who needs to stand still while casting shield.

Proposals for other Changes:

1. Increase the aa range on targets with illumination as Lux levels up. Lux's passive is not useful at late game at all, and this change will see more use while also tieing into her theme of being an artillery mage. Perhaps granting Lux a short burst of movement speed after procing her passive also?

2. (preferred change) Make Lux's e function similarly to Kassawin and Kog'Maw's ult--low cooldown, but increased mana cost and no extra damage when cast in a short duration. This helps increase Lux's reliability in dishing out damage in team fights, while also adding a drawback factor to prevent endless spam. Her e area of effect can also be reduced.

3. Special effects. If Lux hasn't cast any spells for a specific duration (duration decreases as Lux levels up), her next spell possesses an additional special effect. Q: faster missile speed W: Stronger and faster shield E: Extra damage (perhaps 20% extra?) R: Lowered cd (tbh her ult is already good as it is).

Those are the list of changes that other players and I have come up with. Unlike every other mid champ, a more skilled and less skilled Lux have minimal differences when it comes to performance and outplay potential (csing and positioning being the prime difference). Even simple champions like Annie have a higher outplay potential, such as when to save her stun and when to use it.

Riot, we all love you, and it'll be great if you can return the right amount of love back, in the correct manner (her ult cd buff really wasn't necessary)[sg-jinx]
