Again, suggestions for some Lux QoL improvements

darkdill··1 votes·500 views

Lux right now is just sitting around in Xerath's shadow, and I am despising the Magus Ascendant for that. But I also know Riot will laugh at me for suggesting any number buffs to Lux since she is still viable (but simply out of favor).

To that end, I'm suggesting some QoL improvements.

  1. Allow Lux to "pre-detonate" her Lucent Singularity E much like Gragas' Barrel Roll (Q). As in, just as it's about to reach its destination, you can hit E again to make it detonate the instant it reaches its target. Right now, Lux has to wait an awkward 0.2-or-so seconds before she can detonate Lucent Singularity, something that's cost me more than a few kills. It is SO frustrating.

  2. Lux's Prismatic Barrier has a brief delay where she just stands there casting before she gets the shield the first time around. That tiny delay has killed me more than a few times, whereas other Champions like Karma and Janna would get a shield instantly and thus survive. That little delay should be removed so that Lux players aren't killed by that cheap little stall in her shield's deployment.

  3. Riot needs to decide on a new skin for Lux. She hasn't gotten one since Steel Legion, and has too many military-styled skins (as we have all pointed out). Something more cutesy or elegant would be a great addition for her.

  4. Lastly, Lux is really in need of a Texture Rebalance. That armor of hers could really benefit from some shininess ala Leona. :)

Discuss and vote if you think these are good.

EDIT: Downvotes without reason again. That was to be expected...

I agree, but I've talked to Rioters and they've always said that who've said that it's been considered but that it isn't a good idea in their opinion. I'm not sure why not though. It doesn't seem much different than when Gragas got his.

Some spells do have cast times, and I think that this spell, her shield, as powerful as it is, may need one to stay balanced. If she could cast it instantly, it would be amazingly increased in power.

Yeah. They promised a new skin "soon" 2 years ago.

Definitely

For the shield, I don't mean for it to cast faster. Just that Lux herself get the shield instantly upon starting the cast rather than once the projectile flies out.
