It makes no sense.
This is an insult to all the Scientists throughout the world.
Light Binding should travel at 3 x 10^8 m / s, otherwise it isn't a Light Binding.
It's a Heavy Binding.
A very Heavy Binding.
Strawberrycocoa195 votesIn order to be capable of restricting her target to the ground, Light Binding would by necessity need to have a sizeable amount of mass.
The amount of mass in a stream of photons (such as a sunbeam) is too small to physically impede a solid body of mass such as a person. Lux's Light Binding, however, is capable of binding even a sizeable bulk of mass like a 6-stack Cho'Gath.
In order to perform its binding function, Light Binding must, by necessity, be a hard-light projection. Because it needs to have sufficient mass to bind and restrict targets in a wide variety of sizes and strengths, it is subject to gravitational and aerodynamic impedance.
Hence, it has a travel time visible to the naked eye, even though it's constructed of photons (light).

so like, a Heavy binding?
Strawberrycocoa3 votesDepends on your definition of heavy. ;)
In terms of "things average humans can lift and throw", it's missle speed does not suggest to me a "heavy" mass, but it IS "heavy enough" to be solid and to resist breaking when Cho'Gath struggles against it.
Compared to a sunbeam though, yes. Very very heavy.
Kledy McKledFace5 votesYou didn't understand. The guy is complaining that Lux's spells are made of light and should travel faster because physically, her spells aren't viable. But Strawberrycocoa explains that lux bind is made of light but physically, light has no mass (or a non-significant mass), so it shouldn't be able to root someone, but since it does in the game, that means that lux is spelling photons (light) but with a (champ de force) a force field (gravitationnal and strains) which explains why it has a travel time... The photons follows this force field because they are restrained into it (like a wormhole). I'm jsut a civil engineer though so I might be wrong

While I guess gravitation magic could be used to explain the current functionality, it isn't needed. Photons while very small still have mass. Assuming you had control over them they could be packed densely enough to create a wall. Depending on her level of control in a roundabout way she does have gravitational control. By condensing light enough She could create her own gravitational fields. This could explain hey slow field, along with her ability to levitate during her ult.

StealWolverine6 votes;/ Came in here just to explain this. On the bright side though, yay for physics.
CubedJustice5 votesMy theory is that lux doesn't actually use photons, but small inverse singularities, which project both force and light opposite of a black hole. The force between each singularity crushes the target, doing damage and restraining movement.
Strawberrycocoa4 votesOuch, crushed by gravity well. :(

FluxBound1 votesMordekaiser does seek out mates (or at least has a high chance of possibly doing so), since he has a daughter, Kat. Galio doesn't really make sense, Fiddle doesn't even have a brain, but a robot that can laugh can also have lust right?
With gnar and Shyvana, they can be changing density or changing the air molecules into body mass.
idk yasuo 2 op
There used to be an old item called Shard of True Ice and most of the frost characters use some sort of variation of this. Ashe has her magical arrow, Liss has black ice and the others probably use true ice, strong enough to withstand the heat.
Strawberrycocoa7 votesMordekaiser is Katarina's father? I'm pretty sure that can't be right, Morde is a spirit older than the Shadow Isles.
FluxBound1 votesyeah it's an old story that might have been retconned or something. For starters, it's not actually confirmed and maybe it wasn't kat, but it is confirmed that he has a daughter. In the Mac launch trailer for LoL there is a little doodle that has Morde with "I <3 my daddy"

spicy lit plays2 votesyes, totally agreed with the OP.
in order to that, pls buff lee sin's Q too, should travel around 1200km/h
Junkο1 votesso 0,34 units per second? I'm fine with that.
spicy lit plays1 votesnah 1unit = 1 meter right? so should be 330 units per second
how do i get that? well 1 unit = 1 teemo = 1 meter
Junkο1 votesI feel like 330 units per sec is still slower than what it is atm (it travels 1100 range in like a sec and a half atm). So i'm still fine with that :D
