What would you have to change about lux in order to give her ultimate infinite range?

And if you did, do you think she would be better or worse as a champion holistically speaking?

why do you think she should be given global range on a laser?

I don't, its just a hypothetical

Look at the other global skill shots and think about the draw backs her ult has.

Her ult is telegraphed by the red line and the delay makes it easy to dodge most of the time, making it rather useless if you can't cc your target first and she has no ability to do that globally.

But on the other hand her ult being global would be way to powerful because of how fast it is, it has no travel time at all. All other global skill shots have a travel time, this way people can't just instantly help anyone anywhere on the map, the delayed response time and need to predict movement makes it more balanced.

It would probably also need an significant increased cooldown time more in line with the other global ults.

Changing her ult to be global would be a bad thing I think, the way it is now we have more variety, if her ult was global it would just be another global ult, but now its a little different from the rest while still having great range.

Gangplank?

Gangplank's ult has a very long cooldown, even longer then the other global ults that have travel time.

If her ult travels infinitely then there would be some massive changes required.

Specifically, because her ult travels so far, she would require more energy to send it off. Increasing the CD would be mandatory.

She's also likely be burnt out after firing off such a massive shot of energy.

All her skills would likely either deal less damage or her passive would be unavailable for a certain amount of time while her ult is on CD.

I think that's all it would take.

Reduce range on Q/W/E by around 25%+ and/or nerf damage/shield power on Q/W/E by around 25%+.

Double or triple Lux's ultimate CD and/or reduce damage on Lux ultimate by 25%+ or so.

No.

Reduce the damage by a lot and increase the charge time so people have a better chance to escape.

At the very least it would need an increased cooldown and possibly reduced damage as well. Unlike most of the other globals it doesn't really have a travel time to factor in. It's hard to say, I don't think there's really a reason to give it more range than it already has.

Increased cooldown, and either dramatically increased channel time (+1 second minimum) or it would have to travel rather than be instant (both of which serve to make it less likely to hit from across the map).
