Lux + Electrocute

Lux PASSIVE - ILLUMINATION STACKING BUGFIX Lux no longer gets additional Keystone Runes stacks when proccing Illumination on a target

How was this a bug??? It was perfectly intentional. A skill, then auto attack + passive... That's 3 separate hits, which should proc the Electrocute. I'm just confused as to why Riot chose to call this a bugfix rather than a Nerf. Even back whenever Thunderlord's was a thing, Lux could proc it by just hitting with an ability + an auto attack, since the passive counts as the third hit (as it should since it does magic damage separate from the auto attack damage).

I'm not saying that it's not something that Lux may not have needed, or that Lux didn't need attention balance-wise, but this definitely isn't a "bug fix." If anything, the way it works now is more bug-like than it worked before. It doesn't make sense to damage a target with 3 separate damage entities and not have Electrocute proc.

AA enhancements don't count towards procing electrocute, and this is really no exception...should rengars Q count twice towards procing electrocute? it is essentially the same concept

Took Yi into practice tool for tests. His double strike (passive) and 1 hit of q DID NOT proc elec. If it worked how old lux did it would've procced it. Same thing happens with E active. I assume it was a bug because it isnt consistent across yi and lux while being the same thing basically.

But the thing is guys... Lux's Passive isn't an Auto attack enhancement. It literally is its own separate ability that is triggered from other abilities. It doesn't make an auto attack do extra damage, it does its own set of magic damage that is different from the physical damage done from the auto attack.

It also doesn't make sense that Electrocute procs with her Ult + Passive, but not her autos. Right now, Lux's Q+R combo triggers Electrocute because it is 3 separate types of damage (Q damage, R damage, and Passive proc), but Lux Q + Auto is not procing the Electrocute even though it is 3 separate types of damage (Q damage, auto physical damage, passive magic damage). It doesn't make sense and is inconsistent.

You never even take electrocute because you have enough damage without it, or you should do anyway

The rune you want to take is Dark harvest so that you always get value from your burst combo

I assume you're going domination so you can have domination+precision for ultimate hunter+presence of mind btw

I have games on Lux where I do really well and have 600 electrocute damage because my target dies before it procs, DH procs instantly, and every time I use it
