Lux + Thunderlord's Decree

As much as love the extra burst on Lux, I can potentially see annoyance about this later, So I'm gonna call it.

Lux's interaction with Thunderlord's is not very... fair. Lux's Illumination Passive with the keystone, as awesome as it is damage and all, shouldn't add to the stack of Thunderlord's.

E + AA and ending the trade there can pretty much bruise the enemy mid laner, and once a few levels are gained and a bit of AP is bought, can pretty much put the enemy on tilt with how easy the damage done is. Rinse and repeat once Thunderlord's is up and you've got an annoying laner. Or much more depending on how much you hate Lux.

One spell and one AA isn't enough of a commitment for Thunderlord's to proc. As much as I love me some lasers, early game interaction can be pretty much cut at half of her rotation.

Also that 45% Cdr is really niiiiiiice~ And DFT lets Lux know whether or not she hit something with her Q stealthed or in the fog. Use that with what you will.

It interacts the same way with a lot of other champions. Katarina QW/QE/QAA Leblanc QW Ahri EQ/W These are off the top of my head. To be honest, I don't really mind at all.

There are so many things that proc thunderlords instantly/ over time or just give 2 stacks of it instantly. If its the most op mastery in the game it should at least.. not work like that lol.

While it is a bit annoying, it is working as intended I would imagine and them changing it would be a direct nerf to Lux. Lux already isn't picked often in my experience, so I don't think a nerf is needed.

Although it does make me wonder, does Leona's passive work the same way? I mean obviously she can't proc her passive herself but would a Leona landing a spell make it so that an ADC with Thunderlord's procs it with two auto attacks instead of three? Or is the damage in this instance not seen as "by them" in the game's eyes?

I also think that Cassiopeia's poison procs it on it's own because it hits at least three times and each time is technically a new instance of damage. Not sure if it's currently more worth it to take Thunderlord's over Deathfire on her though.

I don't think that mastery is fair on anyone tbh xD
