Just a question about Lux's Q

I love both Morgana and Lux a lot and while I understand they are very different champions with minute similarities. Overall I've been having very little success as Lux for awhile now. I usually don't put out enough damage output late game and struggle to survive ganks on her early. Her E alone can't clear the back wave until deathcap.

Eventually I just swapped to my second favorite mage Morgana. A few things I don't get though...

Morg's binding lasts longer, has higher base and AP scaling and shorter cooldown. She also has a black shield to help her get out of sticky situations.

Lux on the other hand, her bind is her only way to get away from ganks, yet it has a longer cooldown and no duration scaling. Her base MS was also nerfed to below Morg's (335 vs. 330). Is it really necessary to make Lux's Q CD 4 seconds longer early because it could potentially snare 2 people?

Besides Lux's ultimate, Morg and Lux has generally the same combo range with their QW's and QE's. (Lux's E is slightly longer but has travel time and a long casting animation) Morg's soil farms way better too, clearing the backwave at level 3 while Lux requires a deathcap to do that with her E.

Dark Binding COST: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 MANA COOLDOWN: 11 MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 135 / 190 / 245 / 300 (+ 90% AP) RANGE: 1175 PROJECTILE SPEED: 1200 ROOT DURATION: 2 / 2.25 / 2.5 / 2.75 / 3

Light Binding COST: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 MANA COOLDOWN: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+ 70% AP) SECOND TARGET MAGIC DAMAGE: 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 (+ 35% AP) RANGE: 1175 MISSILE SPEED: 1200 ROOT DURATION: 2 & 1

tl'dr: Let's show Lux some love? Buff her MS back a little? Or maybe reduce her Q CD to 11 at all levels like Morg? Pretty please?

If not I'll just stick to playing Morg for now @_@

And don't forget, if Lux drops an auto attack between spells (Q-Auto-E-Auto) she gets an extra .2 ratio and extra base damage on every spell. And her late game instagib combo for people that get into auto range of Q-auto-E-Ult-Auto has an extra 462 damage and .6 ratio from her passive.

Or you can just Q-E-R people for a single passive proc and still a ton of damage from outside the range of almost every other champion, while giving your entire team a double proccing shield.

Well, Lux is a bit stronger than you are saying to be fair. That being said, Morg is really strong in my opinion. Her Q hit box is stupid big and long. Her spell shield is good. Her pool is the cheapest way to farm the support item.
